Rifle Scopes 2nd focal plane question

[338LM]

Is the NP-R1 reticle going to look more fine and harder to see in a higher power scope like a NF 8-32, or in a lower power scope like the 3.5-15? Or does it not matter what power range you have with a 2nd focal plane NF scope, the subtension looks the same in all models?

SFP will look the same and any mag power. Reticle never looks bigger or smaller.

Ummm, I see it that the SFP looks different in relation to the rest of the image at different powers

The "fineness" of the reticle will not change, and that's why they use different reticles for different power ranges-the subtension of an NPR1 for instance would work "correctly" at 15X on a 3-15 and 10X on a 2.5-10.....

My fault, I should have elaborated my post to site the differences between reticles built for different mag ranges in SFP optics . Sobr is correct.

So are you saying at max power of all the different NF models (eg. 10x, 15x, 22x, 32x, 42x) the subtension of the NP-R1 or any other reticles will look the same?

Actually, I'm saying this all really confirms to me why I'm a FFP or nothing kinda guy
