[QUOTE="Brent, post: 17306, member: 99"] [b]Re: 35 mm tube IOR\'s[/b] Originally posted by Magnumdude: [B]Brent, In the first focal plane the reticle subtends the same proportion of the target no matter the power. In a 2nd focal plane, the reticle will subtend proportionately less of the target as you increase the scope magnification.[/B] That's what I'm saying exactly. Another note: When I check the box in my Exbal program marked "Reticle Located in 2nd Plane", I can then modify the tic calibration by changing the power setting. Also, if it's checked, and my drop is 13.6 MOA at the target, I can hit the "optimize power" button and it will tell me what power setting to use with what tic mark to be dead on. Describe the adjustment procedure you recommend, if you will. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I'll call Jeff at NF Monday and see what his definition of first and second plane is too. [/QUOTE]
