No. Had the same question when I bought mine. Had to call Vortex. The model # on the FFP Miilrad will have a F in it, PST-416F1-M and is about $200 more. That model number is FFP & Milrad.

I read about this complaint in posts prior to me buying this scope. I did not experience this problem. Mine is mounted on a 1" riser to get above the battle sights. I had it bore sighted at my local gun shop and he thought the scope was fine. I zeroed it at 100yds on my AR15. It was shooting 1.5" groups. As Paul replied it will not compare with the more expensive models but it does a decent job for the price. I do have to get out and shoot again as the last time I went it was shooting almost 3 MOA high. There was a 30mph wind blowing so the next time out I will see if it was the wind or the scope not holding zero. I read about this complaint in posts prior to me buying this scope.

That image is not the VX-R Patrol, just a VX-R. The one They shipped to me was the correct one. Just make sure your order shows VX-R Patrol Fire Dot

Vortex is a much better optic. The Millet is not bad, but I do not think it would do well with a 338. Go with the Vortex.

i have the same question. i understand the difference between FFP and SFP and im sure the OP does too. but in the item's description, it says "Options of First Focal Plane or Second Focal Plane Reticle". what the hell does that mean?? you can switch the reticle back and forth between the first and second planes? there are no options to choose which model when you add it to your cart. so which one do you end up with? can someone answer that without trying to educate us on the difference between FFP and SFP?

It seems as though everyone has been as specific as possible with the answer. Is their a particular question about the scope series you have. Vortex makes several models?

I have a master alpha chrony which looks exactly the same and the box (not in picture) is marked both "master" and "alpha". The other end of the box gives the options of master, F1, M1, and Paintball and none are marked. This picture, though blurry, shows the small writing just to the right of the readout window. That should say -fps and -mps (feet and meters per second). I can't tell more from only this single picture. Thanks, Alan Long

Please post a link if you know this specific model is on sale somewhere! :) I've seen the lesser versions (1810TZ and 1410) on sale and people confuse them with the 1810T, but this is the specific one I'm hoping to buy ASAP!

By the way, if you have not already purchased it, I would look at spending just a little more money and looking at the Vortex red dots. The quality is far beyond that of the Sightmark. I had one a couple of years ago and the adjustments quit working after about a month. You should be able to find a Vortex for a little over $100. All the red dots will need to be sighted in to be perfect but some are closer than others to begin with. Also, I may have just gotten a bad one. Almost all of them can be zeroed in the bright sunshine as well. They have adjustments for the brightness of the dot. I shoot with the vortex and I use one of the lowest settings in the middle of the day and they are plenty bright.

Jim, I regret to inform you that I wrote Amazon for a refund...original CenterPoint piece came to my door electronically dead on arrival, and with no screw slots at all in the barrel expander pieces. In addition, it's impossible to secure real "dead center" axial alignment between the CP's theoretical beam and the central axis of the rifle's/pistol's bore. The CenterPoint's body taper is much too rapid for it to be any use in .177 bores. With the failure of the CP, I bought the Quarton VLM-634-18 low divergence/long range glass-lensed 5 VDC Laser Module (all brass, three beam alignment screws) through Amazon, and with the help of a good lathe and instruments typical to a model shop I made a REAL boresighter in one afternoon...one that requires a specific 14" guide shaft to press-fit/twist into the bore of each rifle I am aligning. A Licon surplus rocker switch cost thirty cents, and for power I used the transformer from my Master Chrony ballistic chronograph. The Quarton laser alone may have cost me $50, but having examined the rest of the boresighters available I came to understand that only a long guide rod that actually bites into the barrel's rifling (slight interference fit needed) will provide the anchor necessary for a tight-beam/small-spot laser to do a perfectly exact job, especially at 100 meters and more. On the other hand my Quarton setup works just fine at ten meters, with the Anschutz 380 .177 barrel bore, and sights the FWB 103 pistol at the same regulation range with the use of a guide rod that is only a few thou' shorter than the barrel itself. If I understand your Benj. situation correctly, you're right to raise the doubt that you did. The rod portion of the CenterPoint is too short to work with barrel shrouds or other muzzle do-dads. The taper of the CP's body is also too steep to really center reliably in even the most perfectly crowned barrel if the bore is just .177". I hope this was of some help.

This scope will have the EBR-1 reticle. If you follow the link below you can view a decent picture of the reticle choice: http://www.eurooptic.com/vortex-viper-pst-4-16x50-ffp-rifle-scope-ebr-1-moa-pst-416f1-a.aspx

Every Vortex Viper Pst Scope has a manufacture's part number. This one is PST-416F1-M. You will notice that the letter after the 416 is an "F". This will signify that it is a First focal plane scope. If the letter is an "S", then it will be a second focal plane. The price is also an indicator. The first focal plane is much more expensive than the second because of a more complex construction. The crosshairs are etched on the lense, not painted.

When I ordered mine, it was the US version. Make sure you select the US version when you order. It's awesome, but little to no support from from PMDG, and it will take many hours to figure it out. it's not the FSX your used to.

I like my barska 20 to 60x60. It works great and for the money it can't be beat. However if you want exceptional detail and color at more than 500 yards I would step up to a vortex. But just for general viewing it will do the job well. Only reason I mention another one is, I am a target shooter and can barely pick out bullet holes at 500 yards.

If you mean Viper PST 1-4x24 then no. Size 3 and size 5 is what fits. The size 5 is ever so slightly loose on the eyepiece, a strip of electrical tape will solve the issue.
