[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 456272, member: 21068"] I don't know what the ML16 is, but 1/2 mil marks are good, 1 mil covers alot and isn't real precise IMO. 1/2 mils can easily be visually divided by 2 for a 1/4 mil if need be. For the shooting you're talking about. You could get it done quite easily with either FFP or 2nd (if 2nd is less money). You would just have to find a scope that's mil system works at somewhere in the 10X-14X range........leave it on that power for all shooting, near and far. Sight in at 200-250yds, and use the reticle to hold low by X amount at 100 and use the reticle to hold high by X amount at 300, 400 and 500 ect. This is usually what I do for most of my shooting out to 500 yds or so. I've done it this way for alot of years now. It works, it's simple, and it doesn't matter if you've got FFP or 2nd FP, because you just leave the power the same all the time. Just a suggestion if 2nd FP is less money (FFP is way more expensive here in the US). [/QUOTE]
