“magnification”

A riflescope’s reticle is placed in either the first focal plane (FFP) or the second focal plane (SFP). The main difference between them is that an SFP reticle will appear to be the same size regardless of magnification. With an FFP reticle, the size of the reticle will appear to change as the scope’s magnification is changed.

Sightmark's 1-6x24 riflescopes offer a wide range of magnification for close-range tactical shooting and medium- to long-range game hunting.

Fast target acquisition and magnification-change capability set the stage for Zeiss’ new Victory V8 illuminated riflescope line.

The company's .223/.308 Marksman reticle is now available in a 4X-12X-42mm, bringing shooters an affordable, compact scope with increased magnification.

With ½-yard accuracy, 6X magnification and Leupold’s True Ballistic Range/Wind technology, the RX-1500i TBR/W is as versatile as it is compact.

When hunting in the West you'll need binoculars that have a high magnification. Leupold's BX-3 Mojave series will give you that, without breaking the bank.

The company that famously rewrote expectations for brightness and clarity in hunting optics is now breaking the variable-magnification barrier with its new Z6 line.

SIG Sauer has partnered with Mission Crossbows to develop an ultralight riflescope that is the perfect size, weight and magnification range for crossbow configurations, making it possible to reach out well beyond 100 yards, and engage targets with extreme precision.

On a first focal plane riflescope, the reticle grows and shrinks as magnification is adjusted, allowing a hunter to use a reticle with holdover marks. This is not the case on a second focal plane scope. Which is best for your hunting rig?
