My misunderstanding cost this scope 1 star - SIG SAUER Whiskey4 4-16x44mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP)

I mounted this scope with a set of SIG SAUER Alpha scope rings to a SIG SAUER Cross bolt action rifle chambered in 308. My goal was to put together a lightweight hunting rifle capable out to 300 yards. I did some research regarding first focal plane (FFP) versus second focal plane (SFP) optics before I made my choice. I have a SFP scope on a bench-rest rifle and the fact that the holdover values change with magnification bothers me so I chose to go with a FFP scope for my hunting rifle. My thought was that since I don't plan to hunt at maximum magnification then having consistent holdover values at any magnification would be of value to me. Having no prior experience with a FFP scope I did not realize that the subtensions would be so small at low magnification that I couldn't use them. Other then my error in judgement the scope is fantastic. Clear and bright at all magnifications. There is plenty of eye relief, which is important with a bolt gun because they have a lot more recoil than a semi-automatic AR10 style rifle. The turrets are easy to zero and the zero-stop function for the exposed elevation turret is helpful should you choose to adjust for bullet drop instead of using the holdover in the reticle. The scope appears to be of high quality manufacture and durable. I will have to wait to see how it works for me in the field for a final review.
