Is the 6500 tactical mildot scope a FFP?

No, second. The newer models, with Horus reticles are, but 50%+ more in price. This scope will serve as a good varmint scope, or an AR optic.

Yes. When I received the FFIII I had to screw the picatinny mount to the sight and then mount it to the rail. If you were to put this sight on more than one gun, I would get the specific mount for the other gun as these mounts and gun mounting systems change frequently.

You can email to me. I send a pic of the reticle to you. It's more convenience for you.

Hi there, the mil-dot reticle is very fine and is black without being illuminated. It has gradients of one and a half. Full dot then a small line to indicate the half mil dot. When powered it is green and there are several levels of illumination. It can be turned either way so you can turn to the brightest setting with one click or opposite and illuminate it gradually with each click. The clicks on this and the turrets are good and solid, ideal if shooting with gloves. Just to add the focus ring on the left side is large but very easy to adjust for maximum clarity. I have been a photographer for over thirty years and always use high end lenses. The scope is heavy with lots of glass which is a good sign to me. The clarity is excellent and I would compare this to an expensive Nikon lens for a professional camera. I'm extremely impressed with its build and will be hunting and putting it to the test in a few weeks. I like my cameras and I choose only the best lens (glass). So far it has met my standards very well. I have checked out some of the overly priced scopes and this one feels as though it is made to last where others feel like they should be mounted on an air-rifle; light and flimsy. The high end scopes I have looked through did not match this scope in anyway shape or form. Good clean crisp vision equates to good clean crisp and precise shots. Great value for the price. A little blurred at full sixteen power but is easy for me to handle. No scope is totally perfect across the board. So far it has my seal of approval. Will update after the hunt if you would like me to do so. Stay safe and well BruceM

The prior two answers are correct. As to the first focal plane versus second, this is a personal preference. FFP is useful in tactical situations where the shooter may need to range targets on unknown range courses, but is not an absolute requirement.

My mp15 came with the front mounted iron site. And the scope works fine you can see it kinda through the scope but in no way effets your line of site through the scope. But this is on a M&p; 15. I don't know about other brands.

When I order it, it was identified as the Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP Rifle scope with EBR-1 MOA PST-416F1-A, which has the FFP designator and model number right on it. You may want to confirm the model number with the actual vendor. Excellent choice by the way, I love mine.

No. This is a second plane reticle, with 12x being the magnification for range-finding. While I have not tried it, I have heard that the "BSA Tactical Mil-Mil Rifle Scope 30mm Tube 4-14x 44mm Side Focus 1/10 Mil Adjustments First Focal MRAD Reticle Matte" is a good choice with a first plane reticle, though twice the price. It still seems to be affordable.

When I contacted the manufacturer, I spoke to one of the engineers who admitted that although the parts are from China this is a high quality scope with the reticle in the first focal plane. In short FFP. I noted at high magnification, I had near zero distortion at 200yds. I still shot <1/4" MOA. That is to say, at 200yds, I put bullets through holes.

Moe, I can confirm what James said is correct. I own and use this scope. It is a very fine scope indeed.

No. It is the Tasco Vital Zone reticle. I don't get why Amazon hasn't got that right yet, Tasco does not offer the mil-dot in that scope.

I don't know. I only had this scope mounted on my rifle for 1 day, when I saw a metal flake in the objective lens that kept moving around. I sent it back 3 weeks ago with a $25 inspection fee and haven't seen it since. I strongly urge you to consider another scope.

In my opinion, no but they have claimed to have tested it on 50 BMG. I used this scope as an intro scope to long range precision shooting however have upgraded to a mil mil shooting system. 1/8th moa is definitely a bench shooters set up. If you want a scope you can trust, get a Leupold, US optics, vortex, S&B.; The cheapest scope i would trust would be the vortex or millet. If this a something you want to put on your ar-15 for testing loads or even just use it as a scope for one of your lesser guns, sure but a Nikkon is only slightly more expensive. Good luck on your decision.

To be honest, I don't know. Actually I haven't been to the range yet to zero this scope. The 'sniper' concept behind it seems valid. But the proof is in the pudding. Not much help I know, but what I've read on this scope, and the Sweet 17 one too, has all been good.

It depends on what you are looking for FFP allows you to range your target on any power SFP has to be set to a preset power for ranging IE. 9x for the mill dot to be the right size. I love FFP but it dose run about a 1/3 more $$

Looks like the Nikoplex to me. I have the M-308 with the BDC and I would hold out for that, especially since they're selling it to you full price. The undiscounted price is greatly inflated over retail. Not a bargain unless you get what you want. BTW, this is an awesome scope, and the BDC is a great tool when teamed with the Spot-On software. Good luck!

If the part number ends in RF it is a range finder optic. I suggest you go to a web site that sells the full line of Osprey scopes and get the part number for the one that has the mil dot retical and then do a search on Amazon for a price comparison.
