[QUOTE="MachV, post: 221058, member: 93"] The Leupold site was not very helpfull either but they do make the mark 4 6.5-20x50 in both first and second focal plain?? The easiest way I can explain how to find out is to put a yardstick or an inch square target @ 100 yards, then set the scope to 18x and see how far apart the mildots are? If the dots are about 3½" apart then your scope is front focal plane and will stay that distance @ all powers. If the dots are 2" apart its second focal pane and the dots should be mills @ 10x. For me its easier to set the dots to MOA but you can use the yardstick to check it out and see what works best for you. Most bulistic programs will read out in Mills and MOA but the thing is to find out what power you plan to use and how far apart the dots are,then get out and make sure it works for you in the field!
