Trying FFP

[SSL]

I have a Leica ER 4-20×50 SFP on my 6 TCU with the ballisitc reticle. I have a Minox ZP5 5-25×56 FFP MR4 Christmas tree reticle on my 6x47L. Only two scoped rifles I own at the moment.

My experience is strictly hunting wood chucks & varmints, I don't play any of the gun games. The Minox is my first FFP scope & it is in mils. Took a bit of a learning curve to transition to mils, now I like mils better than MOA. What I like about the FFP scope is there is no dialing, there is no guess work. Go up to a power you can see at, put the corresponding hash mark on the target, squeeze, bang, dead. This is important when a wood chuck pops up from his hole, stands up in the beans, etc.

I took an electrcian's Brady labeler and put the yardage with the hash marks on the side of the stock below the scope. Verified muzzle velocity w/chrono and ran the numbers on a ballisitic calculator.

I do much the same except I list yardages on the inside of the ocular flip-up scope cover. No need to change position to see the numbers.

Same. I printed this on a round sticker label and put it on the inside of the flip up cap.
