I have and use both, FFP and SFP. If I'm shooting consistently at the same, long distance, target I typically use my SFP scope. However, if my target distances vary or if I am hunting I'll use my FFP for the versatility it brings to the game.
Seconded.I highly recommend Primary Arms optics. They are made extremely well. They also have the ACSS reticle which is great. But they have other ones too. I would put them up there with some of the more expensive ones.
Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50 SFP Mil-Dot @ $999 at MidwayUSA Old scope design but great glass, tough as nails. Great value while they are available. Discontinued to civilian market, still produced for military. Also, check Eurooptic for remaining Mark 4s of other powers/features. 308 is sucking fumes at 1000yds; like lobbing indirect fire mortars at 1200. However, serviceable old warrior and great for learning ballistics and wind. You'll like the RPR in the 308....nice combo.In the market for a long range rifle scope. I’m pretty faithful to Vortex but also open to whatever else is out there that y’all might recommend. I figure at least up to 24 power if not more… planning on shooting at 500 yards and eventually 1200 yards. Budget is probably $1500 with rings/mount.
Rifle is a Ruger Precision Rifle in .308win if that matters
You will never go wrong with spending on glass.....buy once, cry once, happy ever after. Consistency, repeatability, precision is KING in shooting long range....even more so than the actual glass aspect. I would sacrifice some in the glass for more in the turret mechanics.Thanks for everyone’s input but I had someone PM me that gave me some very good information on scopes and long range shooting. I think I’m going to take his advice and spend a little more money.
