Helping Checking a mil dot scope

[BrunoDK]

Hey guys, I've got a variable mil dot scope from Victoptics (Vector optics) PAC 3-9x40 (OPSL20) and I'm trying to figure out at which zoom the mil dot are at true size.
My backyard is 25 meters (Sorry I use Meters) Here are some photos of what it looks like looking through the scope, also I did a vector to be easier to look.
Each close line in the paper are 5cm and the more apart one are 10cm.
anyone got any ideas?

Your pictures are too poor to judge anything. It appears to be second focal plane, in general the reticle is at scale at max power.

10 cm @ 25 meters = 4.0 mils

 

[BrunoDK]

Yeah I tried to take better photos but it's hard, so I think it's max scale at 6x, I will get a 10cm object to confirm.

That's really strange, here a 10cm box, I'm at 9x zoom and the box is only 2~ mil dots, are the traces considered dots too?

The value of a Mil will be 2.5cm at 25 Meters.
Draw you a bar on paper 2.5cm long and view at your 25m distance. Find the magnification that matches your reticle grid to the bar.

As stated above, it will usually be the highest X.

MILs Simplified: Your true Mil value will always be 1/1000 of the distance you are viewing your object at.

This scope doesn't make sense for me, I printed a zeroing-target that's supposed to have a mil dot true size, this is how it looks like.

This is basically saying none of the zoom settings make the reticle true mildot. What you might end up doing is use the half mil as the true mil and adjust the turret to be 2 tenths of a mil per click or whatever your turrets adjust by.

That target says scaled for 25 yards not meters, move it in to 22.86 meters and try again.

On the reticle each increment is supposed to be 0.5 Mil

Given that scope lists for like $30 it is quite possible that nothing on it is an accurate measurement (reticle scale, magnification, clicks etc.)

Yeah I'm at 25 yards in the last photo.

Then you're out of magnification to scale the rule correctly. It is like a toy scope. Send it back. For some odd reason it comes with a warranty.
