Rifle Scopes Newbie question for using a FFP spotting scope

[kennesawhunter]

Hello I have a question on using a first focal plane spotting scope and say its hits 2 mils left. If you have a Nightforce 5.5x22x56 Zero Stop and high speed turrets in MLR Mil.
do you have to adjust your rifle scope power to 11 or 22 to make the 2 mil adj to right?? Or can you just hold 2 mils right at 18 power just for example?
Thanks for any advice It is appreciated.

I have the same NF scope. The MLR reticle for the NF 5-22x scope is set for the 22X power. If you use any lower magnification, you will have to do some calculation. Look at the NF user manual. It tells you how much you need to factor down.

Stone842,
Thanks I did read about the subtensions but I was wondering if using the 11 and 22 power would make this easier and help speed up the process . I should have went with the Nightforce F1 FFP and made life a little easier.
Thanks again
