[QUOTE="SamSpade, post: 145267, member: 2911"] [ QUOTE ] Who makes a first focal plane variable power mil dot reticle scope? That would be ideal for my purposes. I could find the elk on lower power and then zoom in as needed for precise aiming. [/ QUOTE ] Barska makes a the following: * 4-16X50 and a 6-20X50 * Etched Glass Reticle * Mil-Dot Reticle * Reticle on the First Focal Plan * Fully Multicoated lenses * Side Focus Price is between $180 to $250. I have one of each that I just beginning to test. So far the scope are bright and clear through all power settings. The clicks are positive and right on. One thing I don't like and not sure if it happens with the more expensive FFP scopes is the reticle gets larger as you increase the power. As of now I like the reticle on the 4-16 because it is thinner, going from very thin at 4X and about ideal at 16X. I haven't had the time yet to test the dots as to their correctness but hopefully as soon as the weather warms up I will give them a work out. [/QUOTE]
