Advantages of FFP scopes
The value of the reticle always stays the same through the power range. The constant value of the reticle allows the shooter to:
1. Maintain the match between the reticle value and the turret value (milrad turret and milrad reticle)
2. Calculate the range to the target knowing the values of the reticle and size of the target
3. Calculate the size of objects or targets knowing the values of the reticle and range to the target.
FFP scopes are advantageous for long-range hunters, tactical shooters, snipers, multi-distance shooters using spotters and any other shooter who requires a measured reticle pattern.
Advantages of SFP scopes
1. As the reticle stays the same width with an increase in image size, this reticle will not clutter the target
when on very high power settings.
2. SFP rifle scopes are usually cheaper for the same make.
SFP scopes are advantageous for target shooters (benchrest and F Class), shooters who prefer to use the scope to observe bullet holes in the target, and shooters who prefer plain-style reticles.
