Vortex 6.5 2550 is a second focus scope when I change the magnification does that change the point of contact of the bullet or does it stay the same

Expert Answer

Answered by Bethany Kopel, Gear Expert, from UT, United States, on February 06, 2021

This exclusive reticle has been designed to minimize the need for guessing bullet hold-over at long distances. By selecting the
appropriate reticle hashmark, a shooter will have a reliable bullet-drop reference for all reasonable distances.
