    Is there a book about optics?

    One that is recent, that explains the benefits and drawbacks of different scope configurations and designs. FFP vs. SFP. Mildot vs MOA and so on.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

          Thanks, freonr22.
          It is a good start, but alas, it takes a typical Cal-Guns trajectory into a pissing match at it's end
          I think I'll try to cut & paste Randall's posts into a single doc and read it all without the chaff.
          However, a book is still what I am looking for,

              I am working on an updated version of this, but it should give some general info:

              If you have specific questions, feel free to ask. I'll help if I can.

                      I've shot a lot of rounds in my life. I was a pretty heavy volume shooter in my teens, chewing through case after case of .223, 7.63x39 and 12ga as well as various handgun calibers. After I joined the military my volume went up drastically easily pushing tens of thousands of rounds downrange annually. I was well trained in carbines, handguns, shotguns and all manner of belt fed lead slingers.

                                          Look through koshkin's website. He actually knows what he's talking about.

                                              I think most of my educational points came from both koshkin's website and the sniper 101 series... lots of good stuff in there.
