[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1000146, member: 229"] I believe the OP is asking about a First Focal Plane reticle which is accurate at every power magnification. Is there a reason you want an FFP scope? I only ask because I thought I wanted the same thing a while back and after looking through a friends at lower power magnification levels, I quickly changed my mind. The reticle is so fine/small that its almost impossible to measure against for range finding, so anything at the lower powers of magnification were basically of no more use than cross-hairs to me. I imagine that I could learn to use an FFP optic at lower power magnifications with practice, but if you've got a non-FFP scope that goes from 10x to 20x (and the reticle is accurate at 10x), you can just use each mil measurement and cut it in half at 20x - that usually takes care of everything at 500ft and further while the 10x magnification level is good for under 500ft range-finding. I've found that by doing this, I'm way more accurate on my measurements anyways. Personally, I'm not a fan of MOA reticles and I'm also not a fan of Mil-based knobs (just a personal preference because that's what I learned on). I've heard a lot of folks going the Mil/Mil route, or the MOA/MOA route, but I've never understood the appeal. [/QUOTE]
