[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 611264, member: 8873"] [FONT=Times New Roman]That should be a second focal plane model, which means the reticle’s designed sub tensions will work at a specified power. Changing the power will change the distances between mildots in correlation to the target. So if you wanted to use the mildots as intended it needs to be on a certain magnification, or do as TikkaMike stated and turn the power to make the reticle MOA.
