[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 26818, member: 429"] Second focal plane is what most scopes are. First focal plane is a relatively new thing. The main crosshairs on your reticle will not change point of impact when you adjust the zoom on your scope regardless of focal plane. Everything outside of your main reticle will change on a second focal plane when you adjust zoom. First focal plane will not change. Example: nightforce 5.5-22 MOAR reticle at 22 power has 1 MOA lines. If you turn it down to 11 power, it's changes to 2 MOA. First focal plane would not change from 1 MOA regardless of power setting. You can look at it as an advantage or disadvantage depending on what you want/like. I hear the first focal plane reticle lines can be an issue of being too thick when shooting at smaller targets closer up. (Someone correct me if I am wrong. I only run Second focal plane scopes). Kurtr has a vortex, so he can speak about it more, but I hear the quality is there minus the expensive price tag. [/QUOTE]
