...ACME scopes: Well, the webpage says this: "Parallax Setting 100" -- in my book that's not usable for airgunning... unless they mean 100ft, but still, 30 yards would not be acceptable to most airgunners.... Monstrum scopes. They are an interesting option since they are FFP. I listed them in my personal list, but not on the table, because there was a devastating review by John Rhea this year...The other concern was that Monstrum does not publish any minimum parallax distances. This tell me (I take it that way) that they do not understand airgunners, and that their scopes are not made for them.
Scott,Congratulations on your hardware! Well deserved!Could you briefly explain how you "range" with a FFP scope?Thanks,-Yogi
A drawback to bracketing with an SFP scope is that any dope generated for ranging and holdover, only works at one specific magnification. With an FFP scope, you can adjust to any magnification to best suite the conditions, and the dope is the same.
I have the discovery 3-18x50 34mm HD, and its mostly a good scope. The focus snaps well and the glass is nice. The turrets on mine only adjust to every 3rd spot so its the week link. The Athlon Argos I have I really like allot, the turrets are mushy, but work properly. It doesnt snap into focus, but is very clear.

For HFT, where you can not change the magnification, I still do not see an advantage of FFP over SFP. What am I missing? -Y
