GPO, USA is proud to introduce its new 15-45x60mm Tactical Spotting Scope, featuring the same reticle found in the company’s first focal plane (FFP) GPOTACä 4.5-27x50i FFP Tactical riflescope.
Available as a factory option on many Leupold models and as a Custom Shop addition to a number of existing, already purchased scopes, the CDS replaces the elevation turret cap with a low-profile, click-adjustable dial.
There are many hunting scenarios in which illuminated reticles are a true game-changer. Here are several reasons why your next riflescope purchase should include one.
Many hunters try to eke out the last vestiges of accuracy for their favorite hunting rifles by switching bullets, playing with optimal seating length and other standard techniques. But what if I told you that you're potentially throwing away .2 to 1.2 MOA because your scope is not aligned perfectly?
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.
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?
