[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 1792028, member: 75397"] This should explain it very well. [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/first-focal-plane-vs-second-focal-plane-scopes.975/[/URL] You have the focal plains mixed up, easy to do if your new to buying scopes now a days, ffp has gotten easier and cheaper to get now. “ffp” is front focal plain, so the reticle is in “front” of the erector tube and causes the cross hairs to enlarge along with the picture as you turn the power up on a variable scope.....me personally I have not had a problem hunting/shooting with ffp, although I’m only 29 so, maybe later in life that’ll change. At least if I wanted to hold off for a shot knowing where I am in the power range is not a worry. “RFP” or “SFP” the cross hair is behind the erector tube and the cross hair stays the same size as the picture gets enlarged. Lots of ppl like SFP for long range precise shots because the cross hairs stay small. Hope the link and explanation helps, good luck, as your going down a heck of a rabbit hole now lol! [/QUOTE]
