This is a basic explanation of some of the differences between a First Focal Plane scope and a Second Focal plane scope. This is not an advanced explanation. It is just enough information to make you a more educated consumer.

I installed this optic on a crossman 760 air rifle.I have now shot the riffle around 500 times during target/plinking practice, and the kzfaq.infoUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope has done well.With this optic, I have neutralized around 30 pigeons that were invading one of my buildings.For my short range air rifle, I will continue to use this scope, but will be upgrading to a more powerful scope, when I buy a more powerful air rifle, in order to shoot at longer distance.For the money I have spent, this scope has truly been a great buy.

So a question I've had. Does the power increase help the target not be covered by your reticle (ballistic) in a FFP optic? In my head I can imagine as you zoom the drop and windage points get larger so the more power helps ensure those points don't cover up your target?

Re. SFP optics, make sure you have the magnification ring set at the exact perfect spot at half power to do your 2x deal, or your calculations and reticle will be "off". You also may need to figure out where the "exact perfect spot" is, for the hi-power setting, to exactly correlate to the precision reticle too. In LR shooting a little off can result in a large miss at further ranges.

Sir! I have a question. Is it possible to estimate a size pattern inside your target, say a 20"x20" square ( to keep the math quick). Or does target size estimate have to be from ground up, and at target full size? Thank you for your vid? Great info.
@XRING
@XRING 4 жыл бұрын
GreatDaneXL Hello sir and thank you for the comment. Inches matter tremendously depending on the distance. You really need to know the approximate size of the target otherwise your calculations will be way off. For most “dead electronics” stages in shooting matches they will give you the size of the steel. It is hard enough with the exact information because of time constraints. I hope this helps somewhat. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Thanks for the great video . I just wanted to know if i zero my rifle at for example 100 yards with sfp scope at 10x zoom And for shooting longer distance like 500 yard when i use elevation for compensating the drop is it necessary to use the same zoom which i zeroed my rifle (10×) ? Or. Just dial and shoot at any zoom
@bhuff4748
@bhuff4748 3 жыл бұрын
Go to Nikons online bullet drop compensator and play with it at different powers on sfp and ffp scopes....they have both on there. The higher the power the more hold over it takes with a sfp. Ffp doesn’t change on different powers..... the holdover is the same. That is the real key difference outside of the reticle increasing size as magnification does but he never mentioned that. So to answer your question I think....if you sight in on 10X and go to say 20x the holdover is not the same as it will take more holdover with a sfp scope on the higher power setting.

That’s a nice setup Channel Cat! I think you have noticed that I am a diehard Nightforce guy. I don’t know how much you have budgeted for the optic. Anything in the SHV line is good for hunting and long range work. The 4-16 can be had for about 1k and is very versatile. If you have budgeted more, step up to the Atacr 4-16.

I probably didn’t make the right choice for my air rifle. I purchased a second focal plane as compared to a first focal plane. All my stuff is marksmanship and target shooting with the KERVAN airboss K1 25 caliber air rifle. I purchased the I purchased the Discovery Lhd 4-16x44 sfp second focal plan. I’m shooting up to 100 yards or more. Was it a mistake to purchase this?

WTF SoCal Great Question! The reason I went with the Tremor 3 was that it has the wind dots. Other than that, it still has the open center and dot in the center. The Tremor 3 also has a quick “cheater” for 12” targets out to 600. Immediate solutions in the reticle. It’s a little busy but I am liking it because of the wind dots.

I get that, what exactly happens to my zero on a 1-4x 2nd focal plane scope. If I zero at a lower magnifications @ 25m (1x.) Then shooting @100m at 4x. I'm way off the steel. It's so frustrating, especially when using those holdovers. I'm using a Nikon M223 2nd focal plane BDC style scope.
@XRING
@XRING 4 жыл бұрын
jamesdewer Great question James. However, you cannot zero any scope at 25m and have it still be zeroed at 100m. First or second focal plane doesn’t matter in this case. If you have the Nikon with the BDC, I am sure they will either recommend a 100 or 200 zero. If you zero at 25m your impacts will be really high at 100m regardless of power. I will make a video with regards to your question in the weeks to come. Stay tuned

I use a 2nd focal plane scope and I don't shoot it except on full power. Know your not high on high power but I've got one 8-32x56 sightron and for me, it's fun. Bench only, short action 6.5 creedmoor that's a great shooter. Glass is good and got it at a great price. Old eyes and this helps. Going to be working on moving out to a thousand yards this summer at my place. Will move further out but not sure where the ballistics will peter out, but I can stretch it as far as I want. I shoot the 147 Hornady match and it's great. I've also had success with the 140 grain and even the white tail 127. Now that I've got my rifle where I want it, I'll find the ammo that best suits it for my area of the playground. I'll never be even near the level you and others are, but I'll end up being the best I can be and having a great time competing against my friends that also have ranges on their property. This is a bit long, but keep up with the details of long range shooting and match shooting. Even though I'm not new to high power guns (hunted all my life) or ar's, I picked up something from you about shooting from a propped position. I've just balanced the ar and not put forward pressure as from a pod. What I trying to say is, the way your doing the instructions helps. It's point of view...sort of. Keep it up and I promise to never write a post this long again...
