Re: FFP ranging reticle with static-size cross-hai
Well, you asked.
I see no reason to have a SFP static-size cross-hair. I own only FFP scopes with Gen II mildot reticles. And I prefer scopes with milliradian adjustments rather than MOA.
But bear in mind that I'm am not a paper puncher or a varmint hunter. Perhaps those are applications for those.
I want the capability to successfully and quickly shoot multiple-target multiple-range engagements. I've never had a problem with the size of the cross-hair on any of the targets I shoot or am interested in shooting.
At ranges of less than 700 yards, I use a Gen II reticle just like a Horus, i.e., from a 100 yard zero, I hold elevation, and, of course, windage. I have those holds memorized - and, at those ranges, I virtually never have to adjust the elevation for atmospheric conditions.
That gives me the capability of rapidly engaging targets which are closer, may be of a higher threat level, and are relatively larger, without having to touch the dials.
Only at 700 yards or more do I dial elevation - and, being further away, I have the time to do so, and often the need, as different altitudes and atmospheric conditions will require precise adjustments on targets which are relatively smaller.
That's my opinion, and applicable only to the kind of shooting I do.
(Edited to add): Two-thirds of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product consists of "Consumer Discretionary Spending", which is economist-speak for "selling stuff to people who don't need it." I think people should have what they want. My stock market investments depend on it.

I want both.
