What magnification 10x, 12x or 16x or other #x should be put on to figure out bullet drops in mils for this SFP scope? I understand mil dot Edit | Del

Yeah, I use 10x, too, for zero ... since I'm not a real 'professional' shooter I use trial & error plus drop info online for the loads I use at 50 meter increments for the first two BDC lines/dots then at 100 meters each for the rest ... once I know where the bullet goes it's easy to correlate actual performance to the BDC indicator. My method may not be the smart/smartest way to make the marks useful but it works for me.

I got an answer indicating the highest power 16x should be used for ranging or bullet drop compensation. Is 10x power specified on the owner's manual by the factory? Thanks

I believe this is a Second Focal Plane scope which makes ranging only possible at one specific power. This Millet is a poor choice because of this. A Mildot Master Card is best used with a First Focal Plane scope. Some long range tactical courses INSIST that you show up with a FFP Mil/Mil scope. You simply can not do what is required by the course for drills on ranging, hold overs, and hold offs with out a FFP scope. Look at Falcon Menace scopes for $449. They are FFP and even better glass. Search. There is only one USA dealer for Falcon.

Yes it will work fine for that caliber. For the bullet drop compensation to be accurate, it must be set according to caliber and ballistic coefficient (there's a chart for look up) and the scope must be zoomed in to 10x. Good scope with those caveats.

I use .12 but if you're going to use it on airsoft games i'd use .20 (white are best)

When I contacted the manufacturer, I spoke to one of the engineers who admitted that although the parts are from China this is a high quality scope with the reticle in the first focal plane. In short FFP. I noted at high magnification, I had near zero distortion at 200yds. I still shot <1/4" MOA. That is to say, at 200yds, I put bullets through holes.

No problem...If you are looking for a Good QUALITY scope that has 3x9 magnification (brings target 3 or up to 9 times closer), try the new "Simmons Truplex Magnum Riflescope". It has a 3x9 magnification and the cross hairs can be illuminated (either red or green...your choice). I bought this scope and it is excellent.I had it zeroed in in no time at all. You can get it on Amazon.

Anything past 10 to 12x gets abit hazy. Reticle also isnt as sharp. But for the price u cant beat it. Hold zero. I shoot at 200 yard on my ptr

I have M&P; 15 and it brings you to the perfect height. Works well with both scopes I have. Red Dot and UTG x9.

JJ350, I have a AimPoint with a magnifier on a M-4 platform, works well, but you have to swing the magnifier into place to go from 1X to 3X. I bought the Burris for 3-gun competition and is mounted on Colt 3-gun ready platform. The Burris XTR 1x4 scope comes with a holographic red dot that i mounted on top and good for close targets, for targets 50-200 meters downrange, I get into the scope and I added a speed ring for quick access from 2X to 4X. I can dial it up shooting or running. The glass is very clear and has held up very nicely so far. (6mos) Well worth the money and comes with the mount as well. You mount it, zero it, shoot it.

Believe it's 2nd focal plane if my understanding of the two types of scopes is correct. The reticle doesn't change when you magnify the view i.e., the reticle will not grow or shrink when you change the magnification. Adjustments for distance will have to be made by placement of the mill dots on the target as specified by the manufacturers stated MOA in the scopes product circular. With the FSI Sniper scope you'll have to perceive the actual distance on your own. Conversely, a single plane scope would actually help you to determine the distance.

I couldn't find any documentation for the magnification, but I would hazard a guess at around 3x. It works well for me, I use it for paper craft.

My wife owns an 18x50IS and a 10x42LIS. I own a 15x50IS. Never any issues. Have never dropped them. Knock on wood. We use lithium primaries only. The spotting scope gathers dust since we bought the 15 and 18 power binoculars. The 10's are MUCH brighter (4.2 exit pupil) and have a good field of view. The image stabilization is really worth it.

Wikipedia tell me that 1220+ deg. is the milting point. No idea, good luck!

Hi KC, Sorry l gave you the wrong scope info for one of my three ones. The one you are asking about has top, left and right mil-dots. I would send a picture but don't know how. Sorry about that. It is a great scope.

Remember, the minute you go from 1x1 up the power scale, you change your field of view!! If you have vision problems, then who cares!! Target acquisition during combat is probably 75% reflex. Good vision, good reflex, breath control, and trying to control adrenelean rush is paramount, but if you are shooting 300 yards or more then acquiring your target should not be a problem with a 2x magnifier. For closer targets stick with the 1x unless you have severe vision problems. ENJOY!!!

Thanks! Well, milling is done to your Mil-Master card / slide rule at 10x, however, strelok pro for android or iPhone will do any magnification! Any questions: RAF@RobertFosterMusic.Com ... if you want how to's or videos bro. YES, this glass is great. Leapers & USO did an amazing job on it.

The FFP optic will allow you to use mil or moa reticle to range and adjust zero. If you get SFP, your reticle will not magnify throughout it's zoom therefore your mildot, milscale, moa reticle has little more value than a standard duplex reticle. If you can afford it, get the FFP. Even if you are not into ranging or dialing in scope for specific shots at distance using turrets (vs Kentucky windage)...you will still have this option. The only thing you lose with the FFP is money, but you gain capability.
