Falcon 5.5-25x50 ir FFP scope

[Steviec 190]

Evening lads

I have the chance of the above scope as a straight swap for my Airmax sf30 3-12x50 ir, question is am i doing the right thing?. I’ve never had an ffp scope before but like the fact that there’s no worries about hold over and hold under using different mags regarding mil dots, are they really as good as many people say they are, i know they are a heavier scope than the Airmax but it’s mainly going to be used at the range on top of my HW100S so not really a problem plus i like the fact it has x25 mag which I find the Airmax slightly underpowered mag wise., do any of you lads have or have owned one?.

Any help, advice or comments iare greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Steve

Alright Steve. I’ve owned a falcon FFP mate, only the 4-14 one though. Bangin scope, absolutely bangin to be honest. Like you have pointed out, they are properly heavy and perhaps a bit ‘over kill’ for the field. Unless your on a pod. The turrets are massive too... hence why it might be a tad to much glass for a wet evening in the field on bugs.

Reticles are sound, far to many aim points but there super neat. At 4 x I found the aim points are ultra fine though. Wind it up to 8-10 x and it’s right on the mark.

Yeah, I’d have another but it wouldn’t go on my rapid or oat. Probs just stick it on me HM for the silhouettes

good scopes but as has been said a bit on the heavy side
