[QUOTE="aroshtr, post: 773240, member: 9176"] I wish I knew more about scope manufacturing to know if my idea is even possible. Wouldn't it be cool [B]IF[/B]: You could have a reticle in [B]both[/B] focal planes? This would open up a whole lot of options. One idea would be to have only vertical and horizontal hash marks in the 1st plane. Then have the crosshair in the 2nd plane. That way ranging would be accurate at all powers, and the crosshair would "appear" to be bigger on lower magnifications. As long as the hash marks were taller/wider than the reticle on low power it should work. At max power the hash marks could be a little annoying because they would appear to be really tall/wide. For me this would be the end all, of a perfect scope theory for almost all disciplines (Hunting, Long range precision, Tactical competitions, and Military). If someone who knows more about the manufacturing process could chime in and let us know if this would even be possible, that would be great! For the purpose of the discussion I will call this imaginary scope the "Dual" focal plane. Joel [/QUOTE]
