Do snipers use the first or second focal plane

Sniper scopes have two types of focal planes: first focal plane (FFP) and second focal plane (SFP). While the choice between them is ultimately up to the individual sniper, there are some key differences to consider.

FFP scopes have a reticle that appears to change size as the magnification is adjusted. This can be advantageous for long-range shooting, as the reticle remains the same size regardless of the magnification. SFP scopes, on the other hand, have a reticle that stays the same size, even when the magnification is changed. This can be useful for close-range shooting or when using a scope with a wide range of magnifications.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to use an FFP or SFP scope is a matter of personal preference. However, the following points may help you make a decision:

FFP scopes are better for long-range shooting. The reticle's size remains consistent across all magnifications, making it easier to gauge distances and make accurate shots.
SFP scopes are better for close-range shooting or when using a scope with a wide range of magnifications. The reticle's size remains constant, so it's easier to see and use at different magnifications.

What is the difference between FFP and SFP scopes? FFP scopes have a reticle that changes size with magnification, while SFP scopes have a reticle that stays the same size.
Which is better for long-range shooting, an FFP or an SFP scope? FFP scopes are better for long-range shooting because the reticle remains the same size regardless of magnification.
Which is better for close-range shooting, an FFP or an SFP scope? SFP scopes are better for close-range shooting because the reticle's size remains constant, making it easier to see and use at different magnifications.
Can you use an FFP scope for close-range shooting? Yes, but it may be more difficult to see and use the reticle at lower magnifications.
Can you use an SFP scope for long-range shooting? Yes, but it may be more difficult to gauge distances and make accurate shots at higher magnifications.
