I have a 1-8 sfp scope with 1 mil subtensions. 1 through 5 mils. I'm taking 8 ÷ 6 = 1.33. So my 1 mil drops on 6x would equal. 1 mil = 1.33 2 mil = 2.66 3 mil = 3.99 4 mil = 5.32 5 mil = 6.65 Does this sound correct. Thank you. |

| That's a good ballpark, but best would be to get a "grid" target/paper, post that and measure gridlines with your scope at the various distances. |

| I don't do math but the reticles are usually set on the max magnification not the bottom. So I'd think the numbers are right for 6x. Unless I'm misunderstanding you. |
