I second the reply above of reading the instruction manual.


Mil Dots were originally designed for fixed 10x military scopes., thus most models of variable powered SFP scopes with a high magnification over 10x the mildots are ONLY measuring true mildradians at 10x . Which means your 14x SFP scope will have to be turned to 10x to get true Mildot subtensions. This applies to most SFP variables.
On lower powered SFP variable scopes with a power range less than 10x,, usually the Mil dots measure true subtensions at the highest power. Of course, a First focal plane scope measures true mils at any power.


In any case ( with any model of scope) I recommend verifying your reticle's subtensions on a grid target at 100 yards. I do that with any drop compensating reticle I hunt with to avoid mistakes in the field that might cause missed shots / wounded game.
