[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 631254, member: 10832"] I assume he means this. I believe the hashmarks on the TMR reticle are 1/2 MIL. If so this equates to about 1.7 MOA approximately. On an SFP reticle the subtentions (measurements) of the distance between the hashmarks change as the magnification is changed so there is only one power setting where they will be correct, which is usually at the highest power setting. So if a guy was to drop the power a bit he could get the hashmarks to grow in size in relation to the target and you could come up with a 2 MOA subtention per hash which in a way makes it an MOA reticle. The thing I don't like about all SFP scopes when using the reticle for aiming is that you better be sure you have the power ring set to the exact same spot each time or else your reticle subtentions will be different every time and so will your POI. That is one of the reasons that many manufacturers use the highest setting or have a detent for the proper setting so it is more repeatable. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
