[QUOTE="Trung Si Ma, post: 4391032, member: 47143"] One of the reasons that I like FFP over SFP is that I don't have to remember which magnification is required for the reticle sustentions to be accurate (I have two SFP scopes and although they have the same magnification range, they have different "true" values - one is at full magnification and the other is at 10x). On the whole, I buy scopes based on what I want to do with the "system". My benchrest rifles have high magnification SFP scopes but I only shoot them at 50 yards and 100 yards. My ELR rifles have FFP scopes with high elevation ranges on 60MOA bases. My current overall favorite is the Vortex Razor Gen III. 36x is fine for the level of bench shooting that I do and I can dial out to 550 yards (50 yard zero) with the 60MOA rail on my Vudoo. The turrets are locking (which I prefer) and are extremely repeatable. I have a Zeiss S-3 to try out when the weather gets better - it has 44 mils of internal adjustment versus the 36 mils in the Razor. My preference is milrad because most of the guys shooting long range with me are using their PRS guns and we are all using the same language for adjustments. [/QUOTE]
