While the reticle is technically fully visible, its a first focal plane reticle which means at the low powers it will look small and the higher powers will magnify the reticle and allow you to see the reticle in much finer detail.

At 4x you can see the whole reticle but is very tiny - the "horseshoe" is the main object in view. The MOA numbers become clearly visible and usable at 8x and beyond.

Yes this is a first focal plane scope which means then reticle enlarges as you magnify
