FFP long-range scopes under ~$1,000
A thousand dollars is where first-focal-plane scopes with real elevation travel and a zero stop stopped being exotic. Every scope here is FFP, reaches at least 20× and was under a thousand at our last check. Compare the elevation-travel column before the magnification column — travel is what decides how far you can dial, and it varies by nearly two to one across this list.
