[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1511499, member: 85987"] The pst is a much better option. The etched glass reticle and reticle options are better. EBR-2c in either moa or mrad is the christmas tree style. The free strelock app doesn't have it but it's the same as some others for a shoot to option instead of using the dial SFP= second focal plane The reticle is behind the magnifying lenses. The plus is that the reticle is always the same size. When shooting a sfp on different magnifications you will have bullet impact changes. They are consistent but they will not have the same zero. In my 4-14 shv If 4x is at zero 14x is 1moa up and 1/2moa left. I set zero @4x for hunting but will correct the offset if I change power before adding in a firing solution. Not a problem at the range or on a stand. Doesn't matter who makes the second focal plane scope it is something you need to put in your dope book if you use a sfp scope. FFP First focal plane is the reticle in front of the magnification. Point of impact doesn't change when you change magnification. The reticle grows in the exact proportion to the target because they are in the same plane. The reticle can get too small to use on low power or too thick if it is useful at that low power at high power.
