[QUOTE="Richwv, post: 534944, member: 31100"] I am looking o buy a new variable scope and had a question about focal planes. It will mainly be used for hunting right now but someday may hopefully serve double duty asa medium to long range competition scope. I thought I understand the difference but am not sure. A lot of things I read say the point of impact changes at different magnificfations in a rear focal plane, i understand how the holdover dots on a mil dot reticle would change but I don't understand how the center of the crosshairs would change their POI? I like the advantages of a 2nd focal plane reticle not being as large at high mag or small at low mag, but do not want to have to take all hunting shots at the same magnification I sighted it in on.
