Frequently Asked Questions

What does FFP mean for a rifle scope reticle?

FFP stands for First Focal Plane. In an FFP scope, the reticle's size changes proportionally with the magnification. This means that the subtensions (like MOA or MRAD markings) remain accurate and consistent regardless of the zoom level, which is crucial for accurate long-range shooting.

What are the benefits of ED glass in a rifle scope?

ED glass, or Extra Low Dispersion glass, is used to minimize chromatic aberration. This optical enhancement results in sharper images with improved color accuracy and contrast, especially noticeable at higher magnifications and in challenging lighting conditions, leading to better target identification.

What is a zero stop on a rifle scope?

A zero stop is a mechanism on the elevation turret of a rifle scope that prevents it from being adjusted below your pre-set zero point. This feature is vital for quickly returning to your zero without looking at the turret markings, especially in high-stress situations or low light.

Why is a 35mm scope tube significant?

A 35mm scope tube generally allows for greater internal adjustment range for both elevation and windage compared to a standard 30mm or 1-inch tube. It also offers a larger main body diameter for more robust construction and potentially better light transmission.
