How many scope manufacturers make a ballistic reticle in FFP?

Burris has a few I just picked up a new XTR II 1-8x24 with a ballistic circle dot reticle in ffp, haven't got it to the range yet but so far glass is very nice.
Vortex is another

Most ballistic reticles in in Second Focal Plane (SFP).

Burris Veracity is one line of scopes that has ballistic reticle in FFP.

Guessing this is new for this year or last year.
Cool!

A few minutes with a decent ballistic calculator, and an afternoon on the range to validate, and any graduated reticle is a ballistic reticle. FFP scopes make this process even easier.

All of the ones I found were all SFP reticles that had ballistic reticles.
If you know, please send me the model #

Jon,
There is a FFP ballistic reticle in the PST line? All I found was MIL or MOA reticles

The XTR-2 line in their lower magnification range do offer a ballistic reticle in FFP, but it is for the 223/5.56

Checked Sightron's site and they only offer the S-III 6-24 in FFP with either the MOA or Mil reticle...Didn't find any ballistic or BDC reticles.

The Leupold scopes you referenced are also MOA or MIL based reticles as well. If there is a ballistic/BDC reticle, please send me the link.
Thanks

FWIW, I am not a fan of Nikon's Circle Plex ballistic reticle, but that is just my preference.

Schmidt Bender offers their 3-12x42 and the 3-12x50 Klassic scopes with their TDS reticle. Not on S&B's site, but Euro-optic sells it.

The Burris Veracity line is my favorite hands down in terms of cost and what you get for you money. Mine has a Zero Stop on the turret, and 25 MOA per revolution. Well designed reticle that is quick for wind corrections as well.
Model #200636 uses the new Burris M.A.D. Knob System-What I have.
 
I guess I was putting them all in the holdover type reticles. No Vortex does not have Dead Hold BDC in the PST.

Understood.
I appreciate the effort.

My good friend Dan, shooting at 500 yards with the last three rounds.
The impact on the right is shot #1 and #3.

Cool!
Never thought of US Optics (assuming this is who you are talking about) doing one.
When you can send a pic or a link-Thanks!

I'll get one up soon.
 
By "ballistic reticle," are you referring to a "BDC" type drop compensator, or are you talking about graduated reticles?

If general graduated reticles, not trajectory matched, non-uniform BDC types, then Sig's Tango line are FFP with milling reticles. I just picked up a Sig Tango4 4-16x44mm mil/mil. Haven't had time to mount it yet, but will be very soon.
