SFP POI - 2 questions

[Taidog1]

Will do my best to make these SFP scope questions as simple as possible. Pls understand, NOT asking to compare MIL / MOA / FFP / SFP.

Here are the HYPOTHETICAL particulars at the bench.

1. SFP scope – 6x24x50 – Xmas Tree Reticle.
2. Scope on 24x at 100 yards.
3. Under MOA groups follow.
4. I use the tree reticle hashmarks for 300, 400 & 500. ALL POI’s line up nicely. (Yes, I know, only in a perfect world. Remember, I said hypothetical :-)
So far – so good.

4. Turn the power down to 6x (or 8x, 10x, 12x etc).

FIRST QUESTION: Will my POI change at 100 yards at the lower power levels?

SECOND QUESTION: At the lower power levels – will my tree reticle hashmarks / POI’s still work at 300, 400 & 500 yards?

Hope I haven't confused everyone. Just answers to those 2 questions would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

1- yes at 100 yards it will be the same
2- no they will not be the same with a SFP scope.

That is the big problem for SFP is the change in reticle size vs magnification. For hunting and field use the FFP is favored by many for that reason. Windage hold based on the reticle will change the same way.

When you see an SFP reticle diagram it will note that the measurements are for full magnification only.
