Thread: Advice for a new scope for my safe Queen...

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

@Carpe Diem Scope fits

Mines got the same amount of clearance with buffalo river flip caps I had to sand some of it away to just be not touching
