ffp = first focal plane

this is where the reticule is placed in the scope , what happens when it's placed in the first focal plane is that the reticule if graduated lets say in Mils they will be accurate in any magnification range.

sfp = second focal plane

what happens with this is that the reticule will only be accurate in the max magnification, lets say you have a 6 to 24 power scope @ 24 the reticule will be measurements of 1 mil @ 12 power the reticule will measure in 2 mils etc...
