    My 2c, FFP any day of the week. I positively can not understand why anyone would still go SFP or 1/4 (imperial). MRAD is just too easy to use at any range.

    Exactly, it's a deer gun so what's the big deal about a 200yd zero? We're not trying to head shoot sparrows. With a 200yd zero, my 3.5-18 gets to ~725yds on my 280AI and that'll do me.

    Change all your zero's to 200 yards.

    aaaah....a man with more than one gun! Personally I'd just slap a good old Kahles 1.5-6 on it, zero it for 250 and go shoot shit. None of this dialing or remembering, just put the crosshairs on it out to 350 and bang flop, job done.

    Have had a March 3-24 ffp here for a week now and while a grwat scope the paralax is a bit of a pain. In the bush if something was at 50m away and you are set to 30 you'd be hard pressed to see it i think. Very touch on the low end. So now need a swaro but with decent turrets with positive clicks
