[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 170976, member: 1133"] A lot of guys use the 2nd FP mil-dot reticle at the calibrated power, but it certainly doesn't need to be so, assuming the optic is calibrated at 10 or 12X and goes higher to maybe 14, 16, 20 and 24X's. The rangefinding features will be more accurate at the scope's highest power most of the time anyway, and r just great applied as a ballistic reticle at the higher powers. Look at the optics companies catalogs (especially Nikon), most of them provide the reticle subtensions at the lowest, calibrated, and highest powers. A lot of guys r critical of the mil-dot size relative to a pr. dog--this is another advantage to a 2FP mil-dot reticle that goes to 16, 20 or 24X--the dot size gets smaller relative to the tgt.
