[QUOTE="LewisH, post: 358388, member: 8507"] First and second focal plane differences is all about the value of the space between reticle hash marks in variable power scopes. If you use the reticle hash marks for aim adjustment or ranging the difference is that in the first focal plane variable scope the distance between hash marks has the same value at any power setting, e.g. 1/4 moa is always 1/4 moa. Whereas in the SFP variable scope the hash mark designations are valid only at a SPECIFIED SETTING, e.g. 15X in a NXS 3.5-15X Bottom line: yes, the FFP scope is easier to use, but the reticle changes size through the power range.
