keep going back and forth on this scope. I like the Firedot TMR reticle, low profile .1 MIL turrets, and the fact that it weighs 15 ounces. I realize that it's a SFP scope so the reticle is only good on 9X but any shot that requires use of the hash marks will more than likely be made at max power anyway. Plus I don't see any great advantage of FFP reticle until max power starts exceeding 10X.

It's got enough adjustment (18 MILS) to get me as far as I'll reasonably shoot especially if I throw on a 20 MOA rail under it. Then it also has a little better eye relief than the SS 3-9X42 MQ HD scope that I'm considering as well. I have an 8 twist .243 on the way that weighs 7.5 lbs and I'd like to stay under 9 all up.

If you decide to go Super Sniper, SWFA is having a Black Friday sale and they are $150 off.

On other sites, people complain about the consistency of tracking Leupold turret scopes. The SWFAs are supposedly rock solid on their tracking.
