Scope Zoom Compared at 1 mile, 1,000 and 500 Yards!

Is it fair to say shooting distance 2nd focal plane is best because small reticule..

I really appreciate the details you laid out in this video! The details certainly do reveal the specific operational use of the two zoom capabilities, and how the user will experience these. I dislike making judgements based on price points, rather judgement should be based on capability and useability.

Very informative

👍👍👍👍 THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !!!!

Thank you very much for the wonderful video semper fidelis

Wow…your video really helps get a visual grasp on scope magnifications and actual distances..thank you so much..ive been well educated.

Id love to see this done with a 2.5x fixed scope (either just a cheap one, or one of the fancy m73 scope clones). it would be cool to see what the view would be through a Springfield sniper scope or a scope of similar power

Great explanation, I'd be tickled to be hitting good at 500

Come on back bud…

Retracting my like…why are there no shots taken??? You can look all you want, but there is 0 proof of accuracy. I should make a video like this but showing moa hits at yardage. Or I can just show a video of me postulating.

This is so cool thank you

Getting shot by someone who’s literally a mile away is disrespectful

Good stuff. I love SFP scopes, but prefer an F-Class style reticle so I utilize a scope that's a little under the radar; a Sightmark Latitude 6.25-25×56 F-Class. Very much worth every single penny of it's price range and perfect for anything I do nowadays at the range or in the field. My old eyes are only good to about 700 yards, and I'm primarily shooting a .22-250, so I have all the set up I need.

Cheap glass

awesome video i ever see

Thank you very much for sharing this information Sir. As a recreational LR shooter this helped a lot

Imagine camping in 2023

Cool

This is video is exactly what I needed to see so as to determine or assess whether I purchased the right amount of zoom power on my scopes for my DMR and sniper build. Thanks! 😁

How many clicks ay 1000 yards ?

Excellent!! I have a Savage 110 FCP Lapua and with this same Vortex Viper gen 1 6x24x50 I should be able to work my way out to 1500 yards, no problem. Correct?
Thanks for your reply and thank you for the great video.

Both types of focal planes have pros and cons. Being a fan of FFP, I like the ability for the spotter to simply give me holds. Since the reticle grows and shrinks in proportion, the holds are true regardless of magnification. For detail work, quality FFPs don't meet in the center, giving you a very fine "empty" spot for detail work. I prefer this as it frames the impact point rather than obscuring it like a center dot on a SFP. Use both and see which one fits your personal style & needs appropriately. One thing I will say for both is that if you're hunting at dusk, an illuminated reticle can be quite helpful in a good number of situations.

Thank you sir this was a good video

Staring into the center during the video messed with eyes, and for a few seconds I thought you were aiming at Jupiter.

This is awesome video

Exactly what I needed to make an informed decision. Thanks man!

what zoom would you need for a spotting scope at about 500 yd to see precise bullet hit location? Dont see a good vid on this

I was always curious as to why someone should give the shooter directions? Can't the shooter do it with his own experience?

make a video of you shooting at a kilometer with 6x lpvo 308win!!! talk is cheap

I wish you wouldn’t of talked over the whole video, it’s hard to hear which power setting you are on

While I am late to this video, I feel duty bound to comment that this is the single most valuable content I have found thus far discussing FFP and SFP. Thank you so much for this!

When I first got into centrefire it was only when I found your video posts
that things started to come together, thank you for that 😃.
I had always liked the 243Win cartridge, so bought a second had Tikka T3X.
It came with a cheap scope, so I went Vortex, unfortunately I could only afford
a Diamondback but it works great for me.
Then I went to your reloading videos and that helped me greatly, so thank you again for those.
I would be interested in what you would deem to be a good Standard FPS deviation on ammo please?
Please keep up the great work you do.

Nice

This vid is perfect for someone like me who has no background with any scopes. it helped me decide how much magnification i wanted. Great work!

coming in in 2022..I still think SFP is the best. FFP is good only for when you want to back off from full magnification a little to get a better sight picture and still be able to use the holdover marks…other than that SFP wins at everything else in my opinion.
FFP has certainly become the "must have trend". I own a couple and can use them fine but they become almost useless under 10X without illumination.

With SFP you can still dial down and use your holdovers you just have to do a little thinking, which in a stressful situation isnt ideal, but if you have a 24X power scope that the sub tensions are correct on full power, you can dial down to 12 and double your sub tensions….1MOA at 24X becomes 2MOA at 12X..or 1.5MOA at 18X..Mil is the same.

In low power scopes like 1-4 to 1-10X I have no clue why they put FFP reticles in those.
I can see why in higher power scopes but LPVO. it makes zero sense to me

Very informative! Thank you for your work!

So which one has the better glass?

loved the video! it was very insightful. I wish this type of video was available for every scope I was looking to purchase lol.

Next video try timing the talking, tough to hear the guy calling out.
