This scope stuff is driving me crazy... Need scope advise for a 10T .308
Yobuck, most of the guys coming over to the Scout Sniper side are kids that could shoot well on the regular Marine Corps side, but have little to no long range experience. A new shooter can be trained much quicker on an FFP scope than a SFP scope especially when Sniper and Spotter are seeing nearly the same picture. Granted it didn't slow us down at all when SFP scopes were in use!
As far as your reference to Chris Kyle as stated the distances he was shooting and the cartridges he was chambered in it really didn't matter what he was using. Inside 500yds with a precision rifle people are big dumb slow targets.... especially when they don't know you're there watching them.
Let's not take away from CK's skill though as he was making shots while staring through the scope hours on top of hours in combat conditions. I don't even like FClass laying in the same position for a 20min string!
This is my final post on this thread:
To the OP: whether you choose FFP or SFP doesn't really matter. I lean to the FFP based on my knowledge and experience both personally as well as working with new shooters on a monthly basis. SFP will still do work! Anyways, the key is to take the gear you have and learn it like the back of your hand! Do that and you'll see what the draw backs in your equipment are for you personally. There is some arguing in this thread, but if you cut through the opinionated posts (myself included) you'll find a lot of info. Like the comments about eyesight, understanding reticle, and whether or not you're likely to use an feature offered in you purchase or not!
Happy Friday y'all and Happy Independence Day weekend! Go burn some powder, ring some steel, or cut tiny holes in some paper!
I have a match tomorrow and an article to get finished by the end of next week! So, I'll check in periodically over the weekend and holiday!
Out here- LW
