Have any manufacturers played around with the idea of scopes with both FFP and SFP reticles? I love the idea of having a SFP reticle for the cross bars and center dot and an FFP reticle with hash marks, preferably .2m hash marks and some "open" version of the christmas tree. Attached is an expert artists' rendering. Curious to hear why this doesn't work, cost? mechanics? one of the million other considerations I don't understand?

Some of the lower powered scopes have that already, like the burris xtr2. Your FFP rendering should still have the solid lines and dot of the second focal plane reticle. They dont just disappear when you zoom in.
My FFP rendering was supposed to be just the marks that would be etched into that lens. Assume if they already existed on the SFP lens, duplication wouldn't be needed.
Already put in a few calls to the patent board. S&B just offered me lifetime employment.

I would assume that this type of dual reticle would be especially helpful in HIGH mag scopes and scopes with large mag ratios. On a fair number of FFP scopes the reticles are little more than a tiny duplex at the low end of the mag range.
Fantastic. The "Grizzlestomp Dual Plane Reticle." It has an inventor ring to it. Something that Michael Faraday or George Ohm or Madam Curie might do.
The Minox ZP8 1-8x24 also uses the Dual Focal Plane technology as well, it's a pretty bad ass LPV overall http://bit.ly/2fAtwNP
