Second focal plane (SFP) scopes

The reticle sits behind the erector and stays one size on screen, so it is bold at low power and its marks are correct only at one magnification, almost always the top. Right for hunting scopes that live at 3× to 6×, for LPVOs that live at 1×, and for anyone who dials rather than holds.
