[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2856648, member: 12443"] That was the reason for my question about the focal plane. As you have said, the reticle will be correct on only one power setting with a second focal plane scope. I would assume that with your scope, since its a factory installed reticle, that it would be correct on the highest power setting. However, and assuming your scope also has a target type elevation knob that can be dialed, you should also be able to dial from any of those subtentions as well. In other words you can treat the 1000 yard mark as though it were the 100 yard mark and dial from it. Same goes for all the others, rather than holding high for a 750 yard shot, you can hold on the 700 and just add some clicks if you prefer. I personally prefer holding, but not everybody does. So you can hold the 1000 yard mark and then dial out to 1200 or whatever from there. And since your scope is zeroed for a closer distance, say 100 yards, you will never run out of clicks since your starting at 1000 for your zero. If you havent tried that i suggest you do rather than playing around with the power setting. You might also know that if your scope dosent have target knobs you can send it to Leopold and they will install one or both for about $100 each. [/QUOTE]
