[QUOTE="Tjscharp, post: 984838, member: 69123"] [SIZE=3][B][U]My[/U] understanding of rifle scopes is still pretty basic. I understand that if the rectical is mounted in the first focal plane it will either increase the size or decrease the size of the rectical as you adjust the magnification. This can be helpful if trying to range something without and range finder, but the crosshairs may also be too big for yout target. In the second focal plane the recticals maitain the same appearance regardless what magnification, but lose the ability to judge the range of the target. Here is my question (finally) would it be possible for a small rectical to be mounted on the first plane ,somewhat off center for ranging purposes, while having the main target rectical mounted in the second plane? Does manufacturer do this already? [/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
