Fits my needs - NcSTAR Compact Rifle Scope - 2-6x28 Scope / Blue SC26287B Rifle Scope

Hopefully, the durability of this scope will match its usability features.
I had some fun working with the mil dot distance estimating feature. The literature I got on the scope didn't mention at what power the scope was calibrated for in using the mil dot -distance method.
Here's what I did:
I found a target some distance off- it's a patio door about 7 feet (2.1 m) from base to top, on a house that's 200 meters from my sighting point (I used Google satelite maps to determine the distance).
I rearranged the mil dot formula (see wiki) to solve for the number of mil dots: 10.6.
Sighting the patio door, I went from 2X to 6X to see where I got about 10.6 mil dots for the height of that patio door.
It was at 4X. Most scopes are calibrated to use their highest power for this method, but there is an advantage in using the middle power- it lessens the error if the shooter forgets to select the correct power at which he counts the mil dots on his distant object.





Pros: compact, quick 2 eye sighting at 2X
