Thread: First dial scope for hunting big game

Ditch the SFP route for long-range dialing! While your VX Freedom 4-12x40 with CDS could work, venturing into FFP scopes will unlock your dialing potential. Consider these Vortex scopes within your $800 budget (used market is great!):

Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 FFP: Packs serious magnification, a precise EBR-2C reticle, and capped turrets for worry-free dialing.
Strike Eagle 5-25x50 FFP: A budget-friendly option with BDC reticle for quick holds and capped turrets for dialing confidence.

Remember, FFP reticles maintain their subtensions throughout magnification, crucial for accurate holdovers at distance.
