[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1760931, member: 5219"] Rich, I would like to read those articles that you reference. Dave Miller set up a Leupold with custom reticle from Premier back when they worked on Leupolds. The scope's max power was 20X. He personally told me, he figured out exactly where 10X was and used it as a second set of stadia FOR DIM LIGHT. I have a wonderful Swarovski Z6 2.5-15 x 44. The stadia spacing is set up for max magnification, 15X. I glassed up a nice coues wt at 450 yds with my 15 x 56 Swarovski binoculars on a tripod. I went prone to use the scope and needed the stadia to make the shot. I could not see the deer! I was able to lower the magnification setting and find the deer but had no idea how to compensate for the drop as the stadia spacing changed radically on 6-8X where I could finally see the deer. I base my opinion on my experience and am willing to learn how others manage to make it work. After that debacle I switched to FFP and while the stadia would be useful across the magnification range, I choose to twist turrets for those longer coues wt shots. [/QUOTE]
