[QUOTE="Stainless, post: 158259, member: 8713"] [ QUOTE ] For everything else, it doesn't really matter about magnification or anything with concern to aiming/settings. The magnification would matter if you were using a mildot or other ranging reticle or a point of aim different from the center of the cross hairs. [/ QUOTE ] Supermag, Thanks for the response. Let's see if I've got it. Basically, if I want to shoot a group at 100yds using 10x then shoot another group at 500yds using 15x, the change in magnification used at the different ranges makes no difference in applying my MOA calculations. As long as I've dialed MOA correctly for each partiular range, the magnification can be whatever I'm comfortable using. I dial it up for the range and wind, select the power of magnification, put the dot on the target, and then squeeze the trigger. Do you guys agree these are the basic steps to be followed? I'm not trying to minimize the skill and practice involved to accomplish this. I'm trying to understand the theory that I'm wanting to employ. [/QUOTE]
