    OK, I'll take the bait. Assuming you have a rangefinder, why on earth would you choose an FFP scope for small targets??

    Yes I do use a range finder. I tend to be in the higher magnification range when taking shots during the day so the fine reticule works well as rimfire splash is pretty minimal (probably a non issue with 223) I also have steel set from 100 to 600 on a private range which where I enjoy using the built in hold overs.

    It's just a double edged sword at night, but I assume Illumination will somewhat counter the issue.
