[QUOTE="sakofan, post: 19865, member: 1278"] Sir, the scope you describe is called a front or first focal plane reticle. Most European scopes are as well. Most US/Jap scopes are rear or second focal plane. Sheperds are both. Most all S&B variables are FFP. While it is a superior reticle placement, the US has been slow to embrace this concept. We seem to prefer a reticle that stays the same size, as doesnt "grow". Not me though. If I were you, I would stick to the S&B line of scopes. I mean, they are only the finest hunting scope in the entire world. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] IMHO, of course. And as I understand it, they are more affordable for you than for us. Most guys on this forum are wanting to upgrade from a Tasco or Bushnell to a Leupold. You are already at the top of the food chain, Brother. Not a bad place to be. It like a wet dream for me to live in a place where your "standard issue scope" is a S&B. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Holy cow!!!! Anyway, how far out are you looking to shoot? Budget?? (In US dollars, if you please.) [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Reticle choice?? Duplex, ranging, mil dot? I'm sure the gang will chime in here soon. You'll get some good intel on this forum. I was just trying to set it up so we could find out more about your needs and or wants first. Welcome to LRH!!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ..sakofan.. [/QUOTE]
