[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 293308, member: 4885"] Only the ballistic reticles. The center crosshair should remain on the same point, however other aimpoints will change with different powers. Some of the very expensive scopes are FFP (first focal plane) and this means that the reticle will change sizes to match the change in magnification; in this case, all the aimpoints will impact in the same place regardless of the magnification. Most common scopes are SFP (second focal plane) and the crosshairs and entire reticle don't change size as you change the magnification, so every aimpoint except the center crosshair will move on the target as the magnification is changed. Hope I explained that well enough to be understood, sometimes my explanations get people more confused (normally just my kids when I try to explain math to them :D) AJ [/QUOTE]
