New here but have enjoyed the knowledge shared here. So now I have a question. I was doing a little research on the advantage of both FFP and SFP and read a statement that most BR and F Class shooter use SFP scopes. 1st. Let me say I have never shot BR or F Class so I have no experience on the matter. I understand the difference between FFP and SFP and could see were shooting known distances the FFP might not be as important as it is in the Tactical matches
Anyway I decided to come here and hear the opinions of the shooters of Reece Bottom
Thanks

Richard, thank you for coming to the Reese Bottom chat forum with your question and please plan to make a trip to Reese Bottom soon and meet all of the good shooters. From what all I have read about rifle scope focal plane, Surrell is spot on with his response. I have a March that I shoot in bench rest and a nightforce that I shoot in F-Class and they are both second focal plane. The March is a fine crosshair and the nightforce is a fine crosshair with hash lines. Both scopes are 8 clicks per moa. I do prefer 8 clicks to 4 clicks because as shooting becomes more competitive it is necessary to dial more exact. You mentioned a tactical discipline and I must admit that I have no experience with those type matches. There are a lot of options as far as reticle types come and I have heard shooters mention that they had decided on a reticle type that ended up being a little too much cluttered once they put it in use. Good luck with your decision. I found a little info about this on the web. It is a photo so click to enlarge. I am wondering if any of our good shooters have a first focal plane rifle scope that they could tell us about. Interesting!! WWE

SFP all the way!, thin cross hair and the smallest clicks you can get. The only time FFP has an advantage is for shooting unknown distances. You can range at any magnification. But as someone said earlier, when you zoom in your reticle will cover WAY too much of the target!
PRS= FFP
All others SFP
Just my 2 cents

A SFP reticle can be used for ranging; but only at the designated power on variable scopes.
I think that the previous replys were well informed and clearly presented.
