Does anyone know at what magnification the second focal plane has the reticle being true?

Has anyone used this scope for F-TR or ELR shooting? Opinions?

A mate of mine has this scope and loves it! I think his is FFP .I run a 10 to 50 sightron which is ok but the S&B just kicks arse.sorry dont know about 2nd FP
 
Re: S&B 12-50X56 P4F SFP

If it is second focal plane the reticle is true at 50 mag.
Unless S&B are different than every other SFP out there...
 
Re: S&B 12-50X56 P4F SFP

I am just guessing but the purpose to having the 12-50 in second focal is so the reticle doesn't get so large at the 50x that it obstructs your view of the target...That being said, I would imagine that it is set up for around 15-25X to use it for milling.

Call Alex with Euro optics. He will know

I have one in FFP and really like it on my 338 lapua. It seems like I asked about the SFP model and was told the reticle is accurate at 25x.

That makes sense. It also tracks with Hensoldt who have their reticles being true at the mid-point of the max magnification.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'll give Alex a call as well. This seems like the best F-TR scope with the exception of the insane MArch 80x.

There a ton of SFP scopes out there that are calibrated below max magnification. NF has quite a few units out there, but they are not alone.
