[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 54681, member: 428"] I have a kickass Leupold on my "long range" 308. I'm just getting the hang of the rifle, haven't had much time to spend behind the scope. It's a standard "second focal plane" (SFP). I just came into a decent "Front Focal Plane" (FFP) scope that I'm going to try out on the same rifle but in .223. SFP: the reticle crosshairs remain the same size as you adjust the magnification. Advantages: finer crosshair at max magnification, smaller price tag. FFP: the reticle crosshairs expand and shrink as magnification adjustments are made. Advantages: with MOA and MIL hash marks, fast windage and elevation adjustments on the fly at any magnification level, less need to rely on turret adjustments Everything I've read says once a guy goes FFP they can never go back to SFP. What's your experience? [/QUOTE]
