[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 54686, member: 428"] The problem with recalculating MOA/MIL values at different magnifications on SFP is the potential for human error. The calculations will be accurate at minimum and maximum magnifications, but it may be very cumbersome pinpointing those midway magnification points. It sounds reasonable in theory but realistically most guys are only going to be calculating at max magnification. If that's the case, why not just spend 1/3 the money on a fixed power scope with zero parallax and fewer moving parts to break? Maybe I'm wrong, but if you're using your SFP reticle for windage and elevation adjustments, haven't you more or less committed yourself to a fixed power anyway? That's why I'm intrigued by FFP and fixed magnification SFP. [/QUOTE]
