Am considering replacing my Sightron SIII 3.5-10x44 (excellent scope) for one with more magnification. The main use of my modified FP-XR in .223 will be varmint hunting and some (little) target work. Based on your experience, please give me some pros and cons of using SFP vs SFP for that intended purpose. I would assume an illuminated reticle would not be necessary or helpful. Price is a consideration but not the most important.

The Vortex and Leupold lines are currently highest on my lightly researched list.
