I am curious to your opinions on front focal plane rifle scopes. I am in the market for a scope for my Swiss Arms SHR970 300WinMag. I like the idea of the rectile staying true at any magnification. A lot of the European scopes are FFP and there are a few made here in the good ole USA. Some of these are the Vortex Viper PST, Bushnell Elite 4200, and I think Leupold makes some also. Out of my price range unfortunately is the Nightforce F1. One that really interests me (once I get past the looks of it) is the Burris Eliminator III that should be released later this month.
Do you guys even consider the difference between first and second focal planes? Do you think there is any advantage or disadvantage? I have always hunted with SFP, but think I want to switch things up a little to see if I find it advantageous.
