So my experience with FFP scopes is pretty limited, I've used more than a few at the range, but only owned 2.
In both cases, I can't really use the lower end of the power spectrum because the reticles about vanish. With my Ares turning on the illumination was helpful as it basically turned it into an illuminated crosshair. Unfortunately, my new X5 Conquer has a Christmas tree that lights up, and the blur caused by my astigmatism (and or whatever other correction issues I seem to have) causes the illumination to basically obscure the entire center of the reticle.
What power ranges do you guys use your FFPs at? Is there something im missing, or are the issues I'm experiencing simply the price we pay to get the consistent hash marks?
Im about to swear off of them for anything besides dedicated target guns where I'm only going to be reducing the power by maybe a third. The X5s fine on my 28 since I doubt ill ever turn the power much below about 15, and at that power, I can still see the reticle just fine.
