Yes, I realize that you can get both in one scope. If you had to choose, which do you think is more useful and why? All other variables--magnification range, adjustment type, optical clarity--should be considered equal. This would be for both formal KD matches and practical/tactical shooting.

In events I can see the FFP being more useful. Consider how many stages are shot during the day vs night or low light conditions.

Re: FFP vs. Illuminated reticle--which and why?
Because FFP is way more useful and will get used much more than an illuminated reticle. Illuminated reticles are nice to have but not always needed. I think I used my illuminated reticle once last year at a match but used my FFP reticle at every match

Re: FFP vs. Illuminated reticle--which and why?
I have both on my current scope. I have yet to use my illumination. Even in REALLY dark conditions, if I can see the target, I can see my reticle. Caviat is that it has really good glass but I think this holds true in general.
You will benifit from the use of a FFP on every follow up shot, every wind hold...a lot.

Re: FFP vs. Illuminated reticle--which and why?
Okay, so provided the scope is FFP and has quiality optics, etc., do you see the illuminated reticle as being worth, say, the $200 option you pay on a USO scope?

Re: FFP vs. Illuminated reticle--which and why?
Yes, an illuminated reticle is something you want and well worth the $200 option.

Re: FFP vs. Illuminated reticle--which and why?
In my opinion, yes-if it can be afforded at all.
If not, the good thing with USO is that when you order you can tell them to make sure its built in a tube that can have illumination added later and they can do that for you.

Re: FFP vs. Illuminated reticle--which and why?
I would chose the ffp over the reticle. I use it every time I shoot and the reticle is something that is not really needed where I hunt and shoot because can't hunt at night where I live. I have hunted at night in Texas and using a spot light if you can see the target you can see the cross hairs
