[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1511602, member: 85987"] Yo You will have to shoot a SFP scope to find out what the offset is. Each mfg will have a different offset due to ratio of zoom, distance from magnifier to reticle and I'm sure a host of other things. I just use the shv's I have because I know them off the top of my head from using them. Offset is when you have a zero for a ammunition and choose a different ammo that has a different zero. Or in the case I was talking about. The zero for 4x power is the 0 on the turret. The offset for shooting 14x is 1 moa up and 1/2 moa left. for the zero yardage. I use 100yds for my competition guns and 200 yds for my hunting guns. Mostly because I usually don't dial hunting due to very close shots being the norm for me. For you to start in mrad is fine. Makes no difference. Mills are a product of 10 10 clicks =1 mil. You need 1.5 mils of lead for a walking target out to about 700yds for most standard cartridges. 3 mils for a jog/trot and 4.5 for a running target.
