Only really use the 24x at the longer ranges where I have a good solid shooting position (i.e. target never leaves the scope under recoil) and I won't have to transition to another target quickly.
    So @Gilie can I assume then you're more likely to use a FFP scope rather than guesstimate the hashes and holdovers for the different magnifications? and MOA or Mil?

    These days i am using a FFP scope but i have previously used a 4.5-18x50mm that was MOA and SFP. I have never had much problem with FFP vs SFP as i dial the windage and hold the correction for a follow up shot.

    Sure FFP and MIL would be my recommendation but i think with practice you'll be fine with MOA and SFP
