Schmidt&Bender 12.5-50X56 PMll/P Requesting Imput to help make a decision

[dreever]

Need help from my brain trust since I'm getting ready to jump on this INSANELY expensive scope.
Here's my choices"
FFP or 2FP
1/8 MOA or 1/4 MOA
reticle will be the P4fine

So for those in the know, what's my best option considering I'm no Sniper or don't shoot Sniper matches (too damn old!) Also one must consider what's best for resale.

So what do you all think????????????????????????????

5X25 PMII in MIL for resale as it has a lot more travel

The only trouble with Mils is one click isn't very fine it's 1/3 of an inch. A bit more than the other choices. Also looking for more power than 25

Well if your looking at reselling to the tactical crowd they want MIL scopes some (few)will want MOA 1/4 MOA and it does not have a lot of up elevation compared to a PMII. If you want it for benchrest get a March scope,Any SB will hold it's value but on this one it may sell a little slower then the PMII's

What type of shooting do you intend to use this scope, tactical, F-Class, NRA any-any, benchrest, plinking, long range, short range.....?

I've got both the 5-25 (IR) and 12.5-50... as a senior citizen, they are the best I've owned over too many decades.

For me it must be the 2FP... but it is a personal call.

The 5-25 works great in the field and on the range and I suspect would resell quicker than the 12.5-50

2nd focal plane would effectively annul the benefits of the P4 reticle - it is made for first focal plane.
