So far in this arrangement, I've addressed optical execution, ergonomics, and reticle choices. This post takes a gander at cutting edge highlights like enlightenment, central plane, locking turrets, zero stop, and different highlights like anodizing, and whether it utilizes a one-piece tube.
To begin with Focal Plan (FFP) or Second Focal Plane (SFP) . This is my best rifle scope.
Fundamentally, on FFP scopes the mil/MOA marks are legitimate at all amplifications, which implies the shooter can utilize the amplification level most proper for the circumstance and still have compelling remnant and windage reference marks. While the extents of the reticle will seem to change while modifying the amplification, as a general rule the reticles esteems are staying in extent to the objective.

On SFP scopes the mil/MOA marks are just legitimate at a particular amplification, regularly the most astounding amplification, which may not be perfect for a few shots … but rather on the off chance that you need to hold for rise or wind, you have to shoot at that amplification. Here is a video that demos FFP versus SFP.
Front Focal Plane versus Second Focal Plane Rifle Scope Reticle
Most long-run shooters lean toward First Focal Plane reticles, on account of their adaptability (work at any amplification). One drawback is that you need a decent reticle that can be effectively observed at low amplification, and not very thick at high amplification. Endeavoring to strike this adjust has truly pushed reticle outline.
Here is the breakdown of which scopes utilize which:
Brightening
The accompanying table shows what reticle brightening highlights every extension offers. Brightening can be useful in low light situations or when taking a gander at dim foundations. Be that as it may, with the tremendous zoom proportion on some of these extensions, it additionally might be important to see the reticle at low amplifications. I saw this to be valid for the H2CMR reticle on the Schmidt and Bender PMII 3-27×56 High Power scope. For that reticle to not be too thick at 27x, it must be extremely thin at 3x. Indeed, it is so thin it was exceptionally hard to see, however once you flip on the light, it is totally usable. So while in the past brightening may have been seen as an extravagance material for low light situations, however as we begin to have scopes with 7x or even 10x zoom proportions this other use at low amplification ends up vital.
On the off chance that you need to utilize the brightening on March scopes with night vision hardware, you have to arrange the uncommon night vision perfect enlightenment module. They have a standard light module with 4 settings, and a night vision brightening module with 4 settings. You can swap out the modules, yet there isn't one that can do both.
There is an approach to modify the power of the light on the Nightforce ATACR and NXS, however Nightforce even concedes in their manual that it isn't "field customizable." You basically need to expel the parallax handle and alter a little rheostat dial covered up under the battery utilizing a little level head screwdriver. Since it can't balanced on the fly in the field, I determined that it just makes them set in the table above.
