Is FFP or SFP More Frequent? — At what Magnification Range?

[JungleShooter]

Long Range Scopes over 40x: 10-50x, 15-60x & 8-80x

ALL of them will typically be SFP due to reticle thickness at ultra high magnification. The chart says 4 are FFP but I would bet big dollars that these are limited to 36x and under (I have a couple Athlon 34x that are FFP) and Athlon may have a 40x FFP (nope, checked it is SFP).

If you can find a 50x FFP i'm all in...

There is a good amount of FFPs that go up to 40x.
I have their specs side by side in a table, if interested.

The FFP is a great concept for hold over shooting, but I’ve yet to find one that the reticle is useful at low power. Essentially, a FFP 5-25 is really a 12 or 15 to 25. If you can’t see the hash marks at low power, the low end of the variable power is worthless IMO.

If I purchase new glass in the future, it’ll probably be SFP.

Have you tried the Athlon Helos G2 DMR in MIL yet? Reticle can still be seen on 2x but yes I can't help wishing it had daylight bright illume.

I did consider that one, but it was a little heavier than I wanted. Settled on a scope that was about 8oz lighter.
