Rifle Scopes Help me choose a scope

[HadManySons]

I need some pro help here. I've searched and have not found my answers.

I am looking for a scope with:
Front Focal Plane (Must have)
Mil-Dot (Must have)
Variable power up to 24x to 32x
Illuminated
Around $500
Doesn't SUCK!

Am I being unreasonable? I have looked into Konus but heard they don't have FFP. I have looked in Barska cause some DO have FFP but I hear almost unanimously that they suck. I have also heard Nikon but they are a little pricey and don't have illuminated Mil-Dot.

Do the Millet scopes have FFP? Cause they seem about right if they did?

I am willing to sacrifice a little on the price if it means I had to spend a little more than $500 to get what I want but I'm not looking for a $1200 Swarovski that will also wash my car and cook dinner.

Is there anything out there?

It's gonna be for a 700 SPS .308 I want to be able to reach out and touch something

For what you are saying and wanting. The Falcon 5-25 FFP seems to fit the bill. check out RWS Gunsmithing for those.

For $500 the Falcon 5-25 is probably your best choice.

If you're willing to do without illumination...

Thanks for the tips. I now know what direction to take.

Are all the Falcon scopes FFP or just the first couple listed on RWS Gunsmithing page? Cause I like what I see and could do without the illumination

Re: Help me choose a scope

i believe all the falcons are FFP

Not all Falcons are FFP...

but AFAIK all of Falcon's 4-14's and 5-25's are FFP.

How come manufacturers don't list if it SFP or FPP? Cause they don't want you to think about it if it's FFP? Is there a website or sticky that will tell which scopes do or don't have FFP?

Re: Help me choose a scope

most of the scopes that are FFP are the high end ones, SB, USO, NF F1, PH, March, Hendsolt, Vortex Razor, and some others that have escaped me

I picked that up right away, I was just wondering if there was a way to tell when websites won't.

Usually if its not FFP it won't say anything, but if its FFP it will say so.

For your specs, you can have the Falcon 5-25, and no illumination, or you can have everything for about 4X the $500.
