Is it suitable for low light?
Yes – the illuminated G4 reticle offers great visibility in low-light conditions like dawn and dusk.
Can it handle recoil from large calibres?
Yes – it’s fully shockproof and built to handle recoil from high-powered rifles.
Will it fit my rifle?
If your setup supports 30mm scope rings and has enough clearance for a 50mm objective, it will fit perfectly.
Is this FFP or SFP?
This model uses a Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticle – ideal for those who prefer a consistent reticle size at any magnification.
Q: What’s the difference between First and Second Focal Plane scopes?
The key difference lies in how the reticle behaves when you change magnification.
FFP – First Focal Plane
-
The reticle scales with magnification. As you zoom in, the reticle grows; as you zoom out, it shrinks.
-
This means the holdover markings remain accurate at all zoom levels—ideal for long-range shooting, tactical use, and varied distances.
-
Best for: Shooters who dial or hold over frequently at different magnifications.
-
Consideration: At low magnification, the reticle can appear quite fine, which may be harder to see in low light or against dark backgrounds.
SFP – Second Focal Plane
-
The reticle stays the same size visually, no matter your zoom setting.
-
Holdover markings are only accurate at one magnification, typically maximum zoom.
-
Best for: General-purpose shooters and hunters who stay at a fixed or familiar zoom range.
-
Consideration: More affordable, and the reticle is easier to see at low power—but less versatile for precision at variable distances.
FFP vs SFP Summarry
| Feature | FFP (First Focal Plane) | SFP (Second Focal Plane) |
|---|---|---|
| Reticle scaling | Scales with zoom | Remains constant |
| Holdover accuracy | Accurate at all magnifications | Accurate at one magnification |
| Use case | Tactical, long-range, versatile | Hunting, general use |
| Price & complexity | Typically higher | Usually more affordable |
| Visibility at low zoom | Can appear thin | Bold and consistent |
