big problem with FFP scopes
I have three PCP guns two Crickets set up just alike every thing Vortex scopes slings adjustable butt plates , Mutant with a Hawke scope.
If I bought a high end FFP scope would that not make my others obsolete, May be I just need one gun so I can keep up with all the new stuff,
Or come out of retirement and go back to work, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe ones choice for a scope needs to fit the application there shooting in.
I myself do like the FFP scopes and do pesting/hunting routinely, rarely target/paper punching except a check on accuracy every now and then.
Even a adjustable magnification can be still in need for some apps, I do. ……… so a fix power would be my second choice and my first would be a FFP but it’s a heavy shit ……. but still choose it over a SFP …… still in use but tired in doing the math.
Even the max power of a scope also.
For ones caliber and it’s trajectory the shooting max range will come into play within the scopes maximum MOA adjustments.
For small calibers and or a target shooter a more powerful scope my be needed, but for a larger one u probably only will need a 10x.
A 22 cal a 16x max would be my reference point.
All-in-All Mike u need to get/try them all ……. we all did … . . . . :rofl:

+1. I have three fixed power scopes
I won’t own SFP scopes. I only hunt, I need to use the reticle to range find and I also want to memorize my holdover. Kahles is my preferred FFP scope. For me the only other real option is a fixed power scope.
That’s HFT, and common in the UK. But in Sweden we pretty much only have FT and there averyone uses high power SFP scopes like 10-50
I use both but mainly SFP because I rangefind with the AO. I rarely see FFP used by the FT guys shooting competitively here is US. I think in Europe they do because the can’t touch the AO during the match. I like both for the advantages if I need it. One doesn’t always replace the other.
That’s good to hear Cricket,
As I like my tea with cream and sugar, Not the real stuff all fake,
GKU sent me a link to a bunch of links on Optics and how to level scopes, I have been shifting through all the information and it has made my shooting more comfortable, Its a few post down on Level scope if you want to take a look,

FFP scopes isn’t everyones cup of tea Mike. I thought it would be “the answer” but it remains the scope I sold faster than any other, the buyer was super pleased with his 2 month old scope in brand new condition though, so he liked it lol.
