As per title just wondering what guys prefer in a scope first focal plain or second focal plain. Just curious. Maybe you could say why you prefer either or
I like both. The TDS reticle has to stay the same size relative to the target, otherwise it doesn't really work. The super-fine ret on the target/vermin scope must stay fine.
For airguns, .22LR and deer however, 6x42 is all that's needed.
For long range small targets SFP is an absolute must.

Swarovski tds scopes are all 2fp
I must be mistaken then! Bloody good scopes though, great for long range deer cullingReally?
Perhaps the current one are, but my 4-12x50 isn't.
I prefer FFP all my sporting or longer range rifles have ftp scopes.
I like the ret to stay the same size.
I also prefer Mil Mil (Mil ret and Mil ajust)
For F Class I use SFP, but thats only two scopes, used for specific tasks
Redmist thats a bit contradictive mate

I find this whole thing very confusing. I am fairly stupid though
First Focal Plane - reticle gets bigger, but stays the same size.
Second Focal plane - reticle stays the same size, but gets smaller.
Is that right?
FFP reticle increases in size as the magnification is increased but stays the same sizein relation to the image.
SFP the reticle stays the same size all through the magnification range just the size of the image increases.
