First Focal Plane VS Second Focal Plane Scopes - What's the Difference? - GUNS EXPLAINED
This video explains the fundamental differences between First Focal Plane (FFP) and Second Focal Plane (SFP) rifle scopes. FFP scopes magnify the reticle along with the image, making reticle subtensions consistent at all magnifications, ideal for precise long-range measurements. SFP scopes keep the reticle size constant while the image magnifies, which is often more cost-effective and suitable for quick target acquisition at lower magnifications where the reticle remains easily visible.
