Thread: FFP hunting scope recommendations

It's sitting in the cupboard, as it got displaced from the top of my hunting rifle to the 22lr, but it does not focus closer than 50M.
I liked the 8MOA circle as it quickly drew your eye to the centre of the reticle, and allowed for snap shots at lower power, where the thin reticle was harder to see.

The LRHS is something I've considered, but don't like the mag ranges. The 3-12 is left a little lacking on the high end and the 4.5-18 has too narrow of a FOV at 4.5 for my liking.
The reticle looks perfect and have heard great thing about the mechanicals, but with other options offer greater mag range I'm not quite convinced.

I really wish the Vortex Razor 3-18 didn't weigh 46.5oz otherwise I'd jump on that.
