Don't shoot.

Start with a sfp scope that has a decent reticle and learn how to use it?

Yep. Learn what the reticle ( preferably with elevation/windage marks ) subtension is at various power settings ( you probably going to use max power anyway ), verify for the load you’re using, and good to go. For all the lazy pricks out there Chairgun, Strelok et all give good guidelines to start with, still need to calibrate and verify though. Have used both ffp and sfp over the years, each have their good and bad points. My 2c.

Care to be more vague?

I know the answer to both, was a hypothetical question.
