First vs. Second Focal Plane Scopes: Which is Right for You?
Focal planes refer to the plane on which the reticle, or crosshairs, is focused in relation to the objective lens. There are two types of focal planes: first and second. A first focal plane (FFP) scope has the reticle located in the front focal plane, which means that the size of the reticle appears to change as you adjust the magnification. This can be useful for making precise shots at long distances. On the other hand, a second focal plane (SFP) scope has the reticle located in the rear focal plane, which means that the size of the reticle does not change as you adjust the magnification. This can be useful for quick target acquisition at close ranges. When choosing between first and second focal plane scopes, consider your intended use, budget, reticle size, and durability.
