[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1202333, member: 78762"] If it's a second focal plane scope, then it's pretty useless..... I know someone will chime in and say, " it's calibrated for such and such power." But if you adjust the power dial, there's a good chance that the power setting isn't going back to the same place each time. I never figured out why they would offer a BDC, MOA and Mil reticles in the second focal plane. Or at least have index points that "click" into place and will stay when bumped... Don't get me wrong, you can do it, and be close, but being precise is almost impossible. A fixed power or setting your power dial all they way up to its highest power, and leaving it would be the only way to figure it accurately... [/QUOTE]
