S&B Meta first focal plane

[WKR]

I've heard tell there will be a ffp version of the meta 3-18x42 coming this year...
Anyone have any details on this? Is it just a rumor?

Only downfall of the scope is the reticle. It would be amazing if they changed it up and made it FFP.

Agreed
I've heard that was the plan, ffp mil reticle.

I received an email a few days ago from S&B announcing this. Yes, they are now making a FFP version with a new reticle. It said they would be available September 2025. I’ll attempt to attach the PDF I received with the product info.

Has there been comment made on cost?

 

[ebrownw2]

The email I received did not contain any pricing info. It was just a new product announcement indicating it was introduced at the SHOT show this week. It did say they were accepting orders for 9/25 delivery so I imagine any S&B dealer can give you the price.

Looks legit. 27oz. Wonder what the price tag on that dude is? And delivery of 9/25 leaves no time to get comfortable with it before rifle season.

The 2nd focal original version are 3-4k msrp depending on model

I'd assume the ffp will be similar

Man, a guys gotta really be a glass snob to go with that over 3 rs1.2s. Seems cool though.

Never looked through one but like you, I have a hard time thinking it's twice as good as a NX8 which is my go-to.

I'd pay that for a quality ffp mil scope that checks all the boxes, but only if they made a.. Ehem.. NON ILLUMITATED OPTION PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

It seems the illum is intended to support use of a thinner reticle at lower mag based on that pdf posted.

Hope the glass is better than the EXOS. My two were meh.
