[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 535231, member: 10391"] Your point of impact only changes when the distance from the muzzle to the target changes. For instance let's say you sight your rifle dead on at 200 yards while having the power set to 10. Now when you crank it down to 4 and your still shooting at 200 yards' it will hit in exactly the same place just harder to see the bull but you have a better field of view. This holds true for both 1st and 2nd plane scopes. I would suggest you go to the web site of the scope you are looking to buy and down load the user manuals for both the 1st and 2nd focal plane scopes. They explain pretty well the difference between the two sub tensions. It may get a little technical but it's not brain surgery. Here is a link to the Viper PST scope user manuals for their scopes. If your undecided maybe these will help. They are at the left at the bottom.
