Q
BRIAN, guest, from TX, United States, asked on January 31, 2023

what is the differance between 1st and 2 nd focal points witch is better for hunting 50 yd to500 yds

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on October 24, 2023

First Focal Plane scopes have the reticle placed in front of the magnification lens in the scope. This means the reticle will grow and shrink as the magnification increases or decreases. Second Focal Plane scopes have the reticle placed behind the magnification in a scope. This means the reticle stays the same size as magnification increases or decreases. The reticle in a FFP scope is to scale as magnification increases or decreases making the holdovers marks accurate at any magnification. In a SFP scope the reticle is only to scale at the highest magnification making the holdover marks accurate only at the highest magnification. Either could be used for hunting at those distances, and it becomes a personal preference.

Yes, this Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x44mm Rifle Scope features a side focus adjustment to allow for fine tuning the parallax, making the reticle clearer and have less perceived movement when you're shooting at different distances.

For my Heckler & Koch MR762A1 (with Troy Industries Hard Battle sights already mounted), which mounting rings would be best for this scope? Thanks!

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on January 19, 2022

I would use this Leupold 1 piece mount, but not sure how well it will work with your iron sights, they may need to be removed.

Expert Answer
