Unless you see truly long range shooting in your future and plan to use the reticle for ranging distance, I wouldn't recommend a FFP scope. I don't see the Velocity Reticle listed as an option with second focal plane scopes.
Since your game is at the small end of the spectrum, I'm not sure how much magnification you'd be able to dial in before the reticle grows to a point where the animal is mostly hidden.
Their new Reticle Velocity reticle is backed up by solid science, but I'm not sure how it'd work out in the real world. It requires a person to select one bullet at a given CD and velocity, and it provides holdover points. If a cartridge load is used that doesn't exactly match what the reticle is designed for you'll need to physically shoot at each range to determine the bullet drop at each elevation mark (as they are not in MOA).
If I were buying for your purpose, I'd choose either their mil dot (though if you don't already know mils, that complicates things) or the NP-R2. I've thought several times that I should have chosen the less cluttered NP-R2 instead of the NP-R1.
