| I have a question what is the scope reticle called that does not change point of impact when I change scope zoom |
|
Quoted:
Neither should change POI appreciably. That would be a faulty scope. Changing size of reticle relative to target size is described well in the illustration above. My first post was a smartass one to that effect, but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't necessarily aiming using the center of the reticle. |

Pezboytate does a great piece of work in this discussion.
It's his graphic, and it's awesome. |

Always made me go  when adj zoom scopes had SFP reticles that had the aiming hash marks below the center. So, your reticle is only good at one magnification??? Really? Mechanical engineer come up with that idea all by himself?

Set the zoom to its maximum. |

Like if it's a 4-14, hashmarks are 1 mil/moa at 9x, 2 mil/moa at 4x and 1/2 mil/moa at 14x (or similar, this is just an example.) |

Set the zoom to its maximum. Same goes for measuring features. So, you mil something and set your clicks only you forgot to dial the zoom to the correct setting so your measurement is off. It's a stupid thing. That's why there was a company whose main business was fixing Leupy scopes and putting the reticle in the SFP, until Leupold screwed them.
