Recently purchased the 1-8 ATACR, can’t wait to start shooting with it.

Never a problem holding for wind with second focal plane because the shooter will relate the hold to the known size of target.

The view through the scope helps clear things up. Thanks.

[mattharte]

Thanks for posting this, very helpful and well explained.

[bwdiver]

That was a very good explanation. I do believe that I would go with ffp

Just picked up from a friend a Nightforce nx5 8-32x56 SFP and while it has some trades offs I'm excited to learn it and use it on my Tikka t3x upr 6.5 creedmoor

I had a shit ffp for my first one wasn’t empressed always said sfp was better then I got a good ffp I wouldn’t go back it’s more accurate less dialling if you get a good one you won’t go back.

[amoszweig]

Just thought: You should put the inverted T for Measurement on the FFP and the Crosshair on the SFP. Best of both worlds!

[wolffo]

love a thinner reticle - would love capped turrets

[silentandunseen]

FFP is what I use, so much easier for me.

[whittler]

Thanks, , I’m 59 yrs old and never cared about these things, , , , or should I say, I was not educated on it, 👍👍👍

[braddaley]

[deezdonutz]

Does ffp even matter if ur scope is a 1-6x and your shooting style is majority 100 yards or less?
