That's a good point. I just compared the FOV for the 3-10 and 4-14, and it's 39% wider at 3x on the 3-10 than it is at 4x on the 4-14. Also a good point Balderdash just shared too on the weight difference, the 4-14 is 8 oz heavier, which is a lot. I didn't realize it was that much til I just looked on their site.
In my caveman understand, SFP is probably fine for me on a 3-10 mag range. I don't think I'd fall on my sword for a FFP or a SFP either way at this mag range. If the reticle is accurate at 10x, that's the end of the mag range that the hash marks/subtensions matter to the shooter, and using the short end of the mag range you're not going to be doing much beyond looking at the center dot anyway.
Obviously I'm back and forth on everything, but right this minute maybe the SHV 3-10 MOAR w/ center illumination is my best path forward. I emailed the guy on the forum about the Bushnell last night with some questions, no reply yet, so there's honestly a chance that he's already dealing with someone on it anyway.
