[QUOTE="Princess, post: 929161, member: 78333"] Thanks for the input. Matt, you mentioned "You may need to be a little more specific in your question" Probably a good idea. Every second focal plane MilDot reticle scope I have ever used provides a one mil (3.6 inches) spacing of the dots at 100 yards when the scope is on its highest power level. I have come to understand that there are some second focal plane "MilDot" scopes that use some other dot spacing factor and that, regardless of what power the scope might be set at, there is never one mil spacing for the dots at 100 yards. Perhaps I'm obsessed but I can't understand how a scope manufacturer can call their recticle "MilDot" when the spacing of the dots in their scopes don't match the miliradian formula. [/QUOTE]
