Here is a review of the 2.5-15x50 to give you a feel for it.

I think your parameters for a FFP at $500 will be hard to meet. But a Vortex PST or Athlon are my recommendations for budget FFP scopes.

To answer your question...the beauty of ffp is that .2mil is .2mil. That never changes no matter the magnification or distance. If you are asking what .2” will be at different distances then you need to really reconsider the need for an ffp scope.

Vortex PST gen1 on closeout in 6-24, catch a deal on a PST gen2 5-25 they're great (that's what I use on my tikka NRL22 rifle). For a bit less money, the diamondback tactical is a pretty solid scope for 22lr use.

We have a couple of open box Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 - APLR3 FFP IR MIL on a deal, give a call 516-217-1000, if this is of interest

Save up till you can afford a non disposible optic or pick a different hobby. Thems is the breaks. Add in ammo, travel, accessories ,ect and the optic is the cheap part.

Most of the crap in that price range ( and yea it's mostly crap) is cheap China and asian imports with a history of failure, coupled with a product you won't be able to give away in 5 years. On the flip side, a quality optic will at least hold some value even after it becomes obsolete. 15 year old S&B's are worth about what they cost back then.

Subject FFP. 6-24 scope.If center dot is .2 at 100yds 24x.What would dot size be at 24x 50yds &200yds?

You likely won’t see a center dot that is .2 mil. A large dot would be considered .075 mil. That zero after the decimal makes a huge difference.

For the sake of example though, let’s say it was .2 mil. Also let’s say that linear measurements matter(they don’t).

1 mil = 3.6” at 100 yds.

So at 200 yrs it’s 7.2”

It’s 36” at 1000 yds. So, you get the idea.

.2 multiplied by 7.2” = 1.44” at 200 yds.

It would be 1.8” x .2 at 50yds.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions more detailed or take a look at some of the forum topics on this.
