[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 567797, member: 319"] Folks, things may not be so simple with this reticle. When people ask about their "zero changing" they're typically referring to the 100 yd zero. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/guns762/P1030742.jpg[/img] As you can see with this reticle, the "zero" is 500 yds (assuming it's centered). That means the 500 yd zero won't change with power (unless the reticle is installed offset such that the 100 yd mark is actually in the center which it doesn't appear to be). In such a situation, if the scope is on low power and a deer jumps out at 100 yds and you use the 100 yd mark, you'll likely put the bullet at its feet. In my opinion such a reticle in a SFP scope is an accident waiting to happen unless all you do is target shoot on max power. In FFP, so all the marks are valid all the time, I could really like it. Again, that's assuming the reticle is centered which any owner should be able to verify easily. [/QUOTE]
