I have SFP and FFP scopes. If a fellow is a deer hunter at ranges below 400 yards, and has something with 270 type ballistics, then any SFP scope with or without BDC lines and with adequate magnification should be fine. If shooting beyond 400 yards is planned, and if targets are small (prairie dogs or small target dots), then more precision is going to be needed. That would suggest FFP scopes would be best.
I'm a hunter (deer, coyotes, pigs) and a non-competitive target shooter, and still have not decided whether or not I prefer FFP for general hunting. The nice big buck I killed this year was about 250 yards away, and I had only seconds to get the rifle up, get on target, and shoot. Turrets are not much use in situations like that, so FFP did me no good.
If, however, I saw a coyote at the far edge of my hay field (506 yards) and had time to set up, twirl a turret and shoot, I'd rather have my Viper PST FFP scope than anything else I have.
