This is a second focal plane, so in other words, the reticle will be consistent through the magnification.

"Expert" Ben didn't understand the question. In a SFP scope, an MOA or Mil dot reticle is only accurate for measuring purposes at one magnification power. In a FFP it is accurate through out the power range. That's why a FFP reticle seems to change size as you change power, where as in an SFP, the reticle stays the same size. My Sightron SIII 8-32x56 is calibrated at 24x. So I guess I have to go to Sightron to get the answer.
