[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 711901, member: 10414"] First focal plane Whats the optic? I can most likely tell you off the top of my head what focal plane it is. Chance are you have a second focal plan optic, which means that all your adjustment need to be (for simplicity) made at the highest magnification setting on your optic to make these adjustments. Due to the fact that when you turn up or down the power the rectical actualy changes size in relation to your target. Meaning if you are zeroed at 300m and 10x and then you dialed to 4x, and you make an adjustment to your optic it will not be the same adjustment as it would have been if you where on 10x when you dialed. So unless your a human calculator (I'm borderline special) all adjustments need to be made at max power. Then adjusted for if you dial down the power. If you optic is a FFP model then the magnification setting is not a factor in you adjustment range, as the size of the rectical does not change in relation to your target. The values are the values. I think I got that feel free to pic out any incorrect data guys as I only do the FFP thing. [/QUOTE]
