RETICLE OPTIONS

The Focal Plane

All riflescope reticles can be termed either first focal plane (FFP) or

second focal plane (SFP), depending upon their internal location within

the riflescope. This model features the first focal plane design.

First Focal Plane Reticles

First focal plane (FFP) reticles are located near the windage and

elevation turrets in front of the image-erecting and magnifying lenses.

This style of reticle will visually grow and shrink as you change the

magnification. The main advantage of an FFP reticle is that the reticle

subtensions used for ranging, holdovers, and wind drift corrections are

consistent at all magnifications.

RIFLESCOPE ADJUSTMENTS

Reticle Focus

This Viper HS LR riflescope uses a fast focus eyepiece designed to

quickly and easily adjust the focus on the riflescope’s reticle.

To adjust the reticle focus:

• Look through the riflescope at a

blank white wall or up at the sky.

• Turn the eyepiece focus knob in or

out until the reticle image is as crisp as

possible.

• Note: Try to make this particular

adjustment quickly, as the eye will try to

compensate for an out-of-focus reticle.

Once this adjustment is complete, it will not be necessary to re-focus

every time you use the riflescope. However, because your eyesight may

change over time, you should re-check this adjustment periodically.

Warning

Looking directly at the sun through a riflescope, or any optical instrument,

can cause severe and permanent damage to your eyesight.
