A while back I posted that I decided to get some work done on my scopes by Premier Reticles. I just got them back the other day and it looks like they did great work! I'll be able to confirm it after I get them re-zeroed
Additionally, there was a thread about scopes with mil-dots discussed here.
Which leads to this observation: Upon the return of my 6.5-20x50, Premier Reticles had marked both the scope and power setting adjustment ring with white dots. When the white dots are lined up, the mil-dots will subtend correctly. The funny thing was that the marking was more in the 13x range than at 10x where I thought it should be.
So, I called them up to find out what the scoop was. They told me that the power markings are only "approximate" and that the location where they put the dot is the exact location of the 10x setting and where the mil-dots will correctly subtend.
So, if you have one of these scopes and your range estimation just isn't working out, check to see if your scope and power adjustment ring have markings on them. If not, you may want to consider contacting the manufacturer.
