Which Is The Best Magnified Optic? (FFP vs SFP)

what type of rifle is that??

1-6 for 556 2nd focal plane is the best!🤯🔫👍🏽

2nd focal plane. I like sharp thin crosshairs so I can see precisely where on the target I’m shooting. Aim small, miss small. Some aim for the basketball, I aim for the air valve hole on the basketball.

Who's the intro music by?

FFP all the way for me! I have tried both and once I used FFP there was no point on going back to SFP. I picked up a cheaper LPVO to see if I liked it better then my red dot and was very impressed with the quality of it, clear glass, cool chevron, and at full illumination I was able to see in full daylight here in the Las Vegas sun when training. My “Budget” LPVO It’s actually a lot brighter then my “expensive” Vortex Razor HD Gen II MRAD1-6 and my Trijicon AccuPoint 1-6, also have used a friends Vudu and was not impressed with the daytime illumination and not being able to see the Chevron lit up in day light. Yes they all have etched crosshairs but I personally like having my reticle/chevron illuminated.

I already know all of this but I just like hearing people talk about guns🤷

Primary arms 1-8×24
SFP hands down. I have two.
One on AR-10 an AR-15. perfect

You should use an FFP with a better reticle. EOtech badly screwed up on the Vudu. Try a Trijicon Credo or the PA 1-8x platinum

the way I see it lpvo is for close to medium range and actual high power scopes for longer than 400m shooting. I want to see what I'm hitting with in the effective range. What's the point of having fancy scope reticle if terminal effect if small hole with no fragmentation. If I'm to shoot long range I do it with optics that can see the point I want to hit and with riffle that will stop the target. Punching .223 holes to paper at 500m is impractical… punching .308 holes at 400-800m just where you want it is the shit and no LPVO is up for that action.

So SFP LPVO for me thanks.

FFP : for dialing in your long shot

SFP : better for shorter range options

LPVO 2nd is better to me since I only use it on 1x or 4,6,8x. Going to get a 1-10x soon, I'm not sure if I will likely using just 1x and 10x.

SFP for all my Recce builds ie 1- 4 or 1-6 but always FFP for anything precision

The glass on the vudu is really good. Also sun glasses and red dots don’t work well

What kind of ear protection is he using?

i think both are very valid, the ffp is more for precision rifles, while the other is more for ars

The Second Focal Plain is my favorite. I also really like the chevron optic. The more modern horse shoe optic is good but I am faster with the chevron.

SFP is great for hunting less that 300 yrs !

I prefer FFP. It really comes down to training. The FFP is accurate at all settings which is an advantage as far as I am concerned. Tested with an additional offset red dot and without but with training a additional site is not needed and is slower in my experience.

SFP is nothing more than a glorified red dot. FFP actually provides consistent ease of use of the reticle at any range no matter what.

SFP is obsolete and FFP is the way to go. Anyone justifying SFP is just trying to mask the major shortcoming that SFP provides.

My first scope was a 1-6×24 1st focal plane and I've liked it a lot! Not sure I could get used to using anything but a 1st FP now.

With an LPVO, how often are the mid range magnification settings on them actually used? I'm kind of new to using magnified optics, I mostly use red dot and iron sights, and the few people I know that use LPVOs only seem to use them at 1x or at max zoom. If that's normal, then it seems like SFP would be the way to go.

Magnifiers and Eotechs = Dirt and grime on 4 lenses.

Are there any good variable magnifiers?

I definitely prefer the second focal plain reticule I’ve the first. Have both. So yea. That’s all I’ve got. 🇺🇸🗽🦅👍🏼💪🏼

Don't forget the sig saurer juliet 4 and 6 magnifier

The vudu is not a good example of an FFP.

FFP at 1x functions as a red dot which is better for quick target acquisition. And as you mentioned at 6x (highest) with a BDC or ACSS Reticle will serve the purpose. You also don't need to do any calculations with the change in magnification as you would in a SFP optic. Now if you are bench shooting SFP would be better in the sense that you can see the Reticle at lower magnification plus, you won't lose any MIL markings at the ends of the vertical and horizontal axi.

To me now that i have a ffp optic and its on my M1A because i dont think really need a larger crosshair, dot or what ever when and animal or human or what ever is close to you as long as you have it in the optic but the fact it gets bigger makes it easier at long range to put rounds on target its kind of like a pistol opic in a sence in my opinion.

Looking at getting the eotech g43 or g45 so that video would be great

U Sold me . SFP

Sure put out this video after I buy one lol. Went with a monstrum FFP. If I like it and use it a lot, I’ll upgrade. Gonna be mostly a hog gun so it’ll ride around somewhere in a truck. Didn’t want to spend a lot on a scope that’s gonna bounce around

I'm new so i want something that doesn't rely on power so I want a LPVO for my first optic over a regular red dot.

I'm not scared of a .50

The Marine Corps is also moving to a Trijicon LPVO that’s a 1-8 first focal plane…it’s actually pretty good once you go through the new course of fire we are developing right now…

I'm a total noob, and a few weeks ago I tried looking through a 3x magnifier, and found it really un-fun; did not enjoy finding that "eye relief" position whatsoever.

It’s FFP for me. I can’t see wanting to be between 1x and 6x/10x magnification, one or the other. The full size reticle at 1x is very close to a red dot. If you need magnification, turn it up to max. Why would you go to 3x when you can go to 6x/10x?

I got a first focal plane 1-8 on my .308 Remington 700 CP and a second focal plane 4-16 on my DMR. Sighted them both in for 200 yards today. I like the second more but the first was easier to zero for me.

Amazing thanks
