I am looking for a new scope for my Nosler Patriot 28 Nosler rifle, i am just curious about whether or not to go with Second Focal plane or First for a hunting and target shooting rifle. Thanks: Mickey

I wouldn't want FFP for hunting....

The only reason I'd ever want a FFP scope is for shooting paper... Even for tactical applications, "I" wouldn't want FFP....I just don't like them.

At low magnification you may not even be able to distinguish the marks on the reticle.... Some folks get all gooey eyed over FFP, I'm not one of them.

I hold off for windage rather than dial so I prefer FFP. That way I don't have to be on full magnification to have accurate wind holds.

I love the FFP scopes for hunting. Thicker reticle is nice in low light at upper X's. I'd run all FFP if I could. Once your used to it they work excellent.
