Overview
Vector Optics built the Continental x6 5-30x56 VCT-34 FFP (model SCFF-30) as a first focal plane riflescope on a 34mm monotube, aimed at hunters and competition shooters who want a wide zoom range in one scope.
The first focal plane design means the VCT-34FFP reticle subtends the same value at any magnification, which matters for shooters who dial or hold over at varying power. Vector Optics pairs that with a 7075 T6 turret system rated to handle the recoil of a .338 Lapua Magnum, plus a zero stop and turret lock so settings hold under heavy recoil. It sits at the more affordable end of FFP scopes rather than a boutique price point.
- 34mm monotube built from 6061 T6 aluminum
- True 6x zoom factor, 5-30x magnification
- Constant 4 inch eye relief
- Etched glass VCT-34FFP tactical MIL reticle
Who it's for
Long range and competition shooters who dial or hold over at varying magnification get the most from the first focal plane reticle here. A fixed low-power hunting scope covers the same ground more simply for shooters who never zoom past mid range.
Strengths and trade-offs

- First focal plane reticle scales at any magnification

Performance notes
The scope uses German Schott HD glass with VePRO fully multi-coated lenses rated above 90 percent light transmission, aimed at low distortion and low dispersion in dawn, dusk and low-light shooting. Turrets move in 1/10 MIL clicks across a 26 MIL elevation range, with a zero stop and turret lock to return to a known setting and prevent unintended turns. Side focus parallax adjustment runs from 10 yards to infinity, and the illuminated VCT-34FFP reticle offers 6 red illumination levels for low-light aiming.
