Thread: Aim with variable power scope?

What am i talking about using 2.5x on a 4-16x scope ? Usually for linger shots i use 12x or 16x but to use mildots i wind back to 10x or 5x which is ok for short shots but in general top mag is best for shots beyond your sight in range. Winding back mag is a very second best solution and limts the effectiveness of all holdover reticles on SFP scopes. By the way mildots were originally designed for range estimation not holdover aim so they are a bit far apart for precise shooting.
