I own a Ruger VLE in 308, not something I want to really hunt with but would like to get into long range shooting. My question is this, which do you prefer for long range shooting, First Focal Plane or Second Focal Plane, I am leaning towards SFP as the reticle will will stay the same size through magnification changes but to use say Mildot for ranging you have to have it on the mag setting as indicated by the manufacturer. On the other hand a FFP you can range estimate through all magnification settings but the cross hairs will grow and shrink depending. I know for years some of our military used a fixed 10X scope, not sure if that is still true but that might be the road to take. Right now I am looking at 600 yards max.

But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?
