I know....weird title.....but I struggled to summarize the topic. This is the deal.....
I have a Vortex HS-T scope - 6-24x. It is a second focal plane scope. So the MOA tick marks on the reticle are only valid when the scope is on 18x.
I'd like to figure out what those tick marks would equate to (measured in MOA) for various distances at, say, 24x. I'm starting to shoot 1,000 yds on occasion. I'd like to have the scope be on 24x. But if I do so (at least right now) I don't know what those tick marks are measured in MOA.
Does anyone know if there is a way to figure that out, without actually shooting at 1,000 yds? For example, if I shot at 100 yds and figured out that tick that is 2 MOA on 18x is really 1.7 MOA (or whatever) on 24x, could I then use that same value when shooting at 1,000 yds?
Thx.
