The reticle is FFP and it has a red dot that is SPF. Yes it was discontinued, but KD4 is still an advocate of FFP LPV optics. He discusses their merits in his classes. They may not be right for everyone and every situation but they are not without merit either.

Besides my rifle feeling unbalanced, my biggest complaint with the Razor was that it was SFP. Really didn’t work for me at 1x.

So I’m hoping the new one will be FFP.

Why would FFP vs SFP matter at 1x?

At 1x most FFP reticles become nearly unusable without the illuminated dot/center section as the reticle “shrinks” down so much.

I’m guessing it’s just a new reticle

I would be happy if they just cut the weight down by 8 or 9 ozs.

Just the way my eye works, I couldn’t pick up the reticle very well.

I had the MK6, and at 1x the reticle was very fine, but I was still able to use it. The entire reticle was my aim point and it just worked for me.
