This specific riflescope has a second focal plane reticle where the subtensions of the reticle will be true only at 16x max magnification.
At 16X, each Mil-dot is exactly 1 MIL (milliradian). The subtensions on the reticle are still usable at other magnifications, if the shooter is willing to do a bit of math. For example, at 8X, each dot is exactly 2 MIL; at 4X, each dot is 4 MIL. In general, the simple equation is: each dot = (16 / magnification) milliradians.
First Focal Plane reticle rifle scopes can be used for ranging and applying appropriate holdover at any magnification. Second Focal Plane Scopes are to be used as simple cross hairs at low magnification and are set up for ranging and holdover application at the highest magnification.
