[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 162618, member: 1522"] I'll agree with you that a second focal plane scope set at 18X isn't going to be 3.6" at 100 yards. More than likely that scope was calibrated for using the mil-dot reticle for ranging a given power setting such as 10X or some other value. That's why it's important to verify what the real power setting is if you're gonna use it for ranging. The factory mark on your power ring is one thing, but I've seen too many scopes where the factory marked setting was off. Any new scope we were given was always verified and more times than not we had to re-marked it. That's why for the longest time I was a fan of a 10X fixed power scope. Even to 1000 yards we didn't need more than that. Are you saying that at 18X the value between hash marks is 1.047 inches? In my head (ok a scratch piece of paper) I come up with roughly 1.58" at 18X or 1.51" at 17.5X. Now 14.2X would get you close to 1.047", if I'm following the logic here. Again trying not to flame you, just trying to understand the reasoning. [/QUOTE]
