[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 15198, member: 25"] For those who might be interested in a simple method of remembering what the hell first plane and second plane reticle location means: just think that Europeans are the older or "first" countries and they prefer that their reticles and objects change equally in size as the power is increased or reduced (as in Swarovski, Zeiss, Schmidts etc). If these scopes have range-estimating reticles they will work on any power setting. America is the "second" country in age and Americans prefer that their reticle stays constant while the object increases or decreases in size. Mildots or whatever only work on one power setting, usually the highest (unless you cut the power in half of course, then you times by 2). Not my idea, was told to me by an American representative of a European scope company. [/QUOTE]
