Okay so the first focal plane is an advantage for me? I'm not a sniper so I'm not sure. I just want to get the best I can have for this particular weapon. I do like the NighForce scopes. I see they all have a large MOA adjustment. That I will need if I plan to zero it at 200 yds. And still shoot it out to 1,000 yrds. Would I just be wasting money if I were to save up and get the Nightforce The BEAST 5-25x56mm F1? Also I want to know more of the pros and cons of the first focal plane. I'm really not an expert. I have been hunting for about 35 years. I achieved an expert marksman status in the Air Force about 25 years ago. I shoot pretty good. But this is all very new to me.
