Rolls brand scopes?

It certainly doesn't look that bad from the photo, I wouldn't call it chinese junk yet. Do you know how the reticle is? is it FFP or SFP?

What is FFP or SFP? In any case, that link to the French website looks very much like my scope. The reticule looks a lot like that described in the link. Wow - a $600 scope that the original owner scored for just $150 at a gunshow? Sweet!

Oh - and I know I've been remiss about getting those pics up. My apologies - will do soon; I promise!

Nevermind, its not a mildot so its certainly an SFP, it looks like a decent scope, shoot it and see if it holds zero, if so, go ahead and keep it, although I would still upgrade to a better scope eventually.

There are many scope out there that are both SFP and have a mildot reticle, just as there are those that are SFP and have a different reticle and the same with FFP with different types of reticles.

Point being, the type of reticle has absolutely nothing to do with whether its FFP or SFP, although the type of focal plane will factor in to the effectiveness of the reticle (power dependent for SFP)

What is FFP or SFP?

First Focal Plane- means that when you look thru the scope and sweep thru the range of magnification, the reticle will grow larger and small in proportion to the target. Meaning if your target is bracketed by two of the reticle lines (regardless of their design mildot or MOA) at the lowest power setting, the target will still be bracketed by those two reticle lines at the highest magnification setting and everything in between. This is a very good thing if you actually want to use the reticle for ranging, leading targets, holdovers/unders and all that. downside is you may lose some precision at the lower magnification settings.

Second Focal Plane- means that the reticle will stay the same size in appearance to your eye as you sweep thru the range of magnification but because of this it is not proportional to your target. I.E. taken example above, target is bracketed by two lines at lowest setting, go up to max magnification and it could be something like 10 of the reticle markings (all dependent on range of magnification and design of reticle of course) This type of focal plane is good for shooting at known distances and where you have the time and ability to dial in your adjustments for wind and elevation.

Me personally, I stick with FFP
