Last year Atibal released a first focal plane (FFP) 1-10x optic, the X. And now they've come up with a cousin in second focal plane, the XS. For those unacquainted here's a two-sentence explanation: with an FFP scope, the reticle scales with the magnification level and with a SFP the reticle stays the same regardless of magnification. Invariably FFP scopes are more expensive because the degree of technicality required is higher. The Atibal XS has the same 35mm tube, 1/10th mil adjustments, glass, and locking turrets of the X. However, the reticle itself has been redesigned for SFP use. And as mentioned, the XS comes in at a lower price than the FFP Atibal X. Just as when the Atibal X was launched, if you pre-order you can either receive a complimentary Bobro mount, or $150 off of your order. Our take? Unless you're swimming in 35mm mounts–get the Bobro. Here's what they have to say about it: Atibal introduces the all new Atibal Xs 1-10x30mm Second Focal Plane low power variable optic. We have adapted the already popular Atibal X 1-10x30mm FFP scope into a second focal plane configuration. Featuring an intuitive second focal plane “Christmas Tree” style illuminated MIL reticle, locking target turrets, 1/10 MIL per click adjustments, an integrated low-profile magnification adjustment tab, fully multicoated lenses, extra low dispersion high definition ED Glass, and 10x magnification to make the Atibal Xs an exceptionally versatile low power variable optic. At Atibal we continuously push the envelope of affordable and dependable optics for almost every application. With insight from sportsmen and competitors in the world of firearms we work to develop superior optics with practical and sensible features. The Atibal Xs is our latest offering in the world of low power variable optics. Atibal is currently conducting a pre-order sale special for the Atibal Xs.
