Does the reticle work for ranging at all zoom levels?
Yes—being first focal plane, the reticle maintains accurate scaling throughout the zoom range.
Is it easy to return to zero?
Yes—the elevation turret includes a built-in zero-stop for fast, precise resets.
How does it hold up to recoil?
It’s rated to withstand 1000 G shock—ideal for all calibres, including magnums.
Is it suitable for use in poor weather?
Absolutely—it’s waterproof to IP67 standard and nitrogen-filled to prevent fogging.
Does the reticle illuminate well?
Yes—six brightness levels offer good visibility across lighting conditions, with convenient off-clicks.
How far can this scope reach?
With over 29 MIL elevation travel, it’s easily capable of stretching to extended long-range targets when paired with suitable mounts.
What’s the difference between FFP and SFP?
This scope uses a First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle—so holdover and ranging marks stay accurate at any magnification.
Will it fit standard mounts?
Yes—it has a 30 mm main tube, compatible with all standard 30 mm mounts and rings.
Can I use it in low light?
Yes—fully multi-coated optics and illuminated reticle make it effective during dawn, dusk, or overcast days.
FAQ: FFP vs SFP – What's the Difference?
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.
