What's the difference: MIL-DOT or P4 SNIPER??

Mil dot has marks of dots evenly spaced on all four sides of the crosshairs. The p4 has straight lines till close to the middle were then they have the hash marks or dots. NcStar p4 is what I have and they say it has been developed to be used as a range finder. Such as, the thin line that makes up the crosshairs should fill up a 18 inch target at 500 yards(18inces is the average width of a normal adult combatant between the shoulders) the first mark is slightly wider than the crosshairs and fits inside a 18 inch target at 400 yards. And the next one slightly wider for 300 so on so on till 100 the last and widest mark.100 yards is what they want the scope to be zeroed in at since there is a drop compensator built in to the scope for out to 500 yards using the xm 193 or 55gr. Bullet. I have had mine out to 300 and it does well. Hits inside the 18 inch target that far. You probably won't be putting bullets inside bullets like splitting a arrow but it works. Worked for me till I found someone selling a acog that used to be uncle Sammys for 400 bucks. Good entry level if you don't want to shell out a ton of cash.

Mil dots are designed to help with range estimation and in my opinion helps with follow up shots. I don't have much experience with range finder scopes. If it's on the the coitac scope go with mil dot or a simple cross hair.

Mil dots. I use it for a 22, and it works pretty well. Especially for the price.

Dave, as far as I know the sights have to be for your specific weapon. I purchased one for my MP Shield. Personally, I didn't like it at all, aim point sucked. it's a fixed sight. Had to aim way high to hit my target. Looks great though..Removed it immediately when I got home from the range.

There's a few. The APT has a mil dot reticle while the APV is duplex style. The APV has a 1 inch tube, APT has a 30mm (30mm is larger, more light) and the APT has a 44mm objective lens over the APVs 40mm (more light again). Another difference is the APT has exposed turrets for quick windage and elevation adjustments while the APV is capped.

Yes, defiantly. I actually sent mine back though and got the UTG 30mm SWAT 3-12x44 Compact Mil-dot. Very nice optics. They also have a 4-16x44. The Barska was too big for just a 4-16...in my opinion.

I've searched for your answer,and no true answer other than being pin size. I use it from 100m to 600m,and have a delta point on a 45 degree mount. It's a eighth of size compared to the mil dots beside it. What are you trying to make sure of,that it doesn't cover the target?

JJ350, I have a AimPoint with a magnifier on a M-4 platform, works well, but you have to swing the magnifier into place to go from 1X to 3X. I bought the Burris for 3-gun competition and is mounted on Colt 3-gun ready platform. The Burris XTR 1x4 scope comes with a holographic red dot that i mounted on top and good for close targets, for targets 50-200 meters downrange, I get into the scope and I added a speed ring for quick access from 2X to 4X. I can dial it up shooting or running. The glass is very clear and has held up very nicely so far. (6mos) Well worth the money and comes with the mount as well. You mount it, zero it, shoot it.

No. It is the Tasco Vital Zone reticle. I don't get why Amazon hasn't got that right yet, Tasco does not offer the mil-dot in that scope.

There is no parallax adjustment. Only windage and elevation turrets and the illumination dial. If you haven't already bought it don't. Mine won't hold zero through the cleaning of my rifle. There is no direction marker on the turrets, you have to guess. Also the mil-dot is a gimmick. The dot size does not increase in respect to your target as you move up in power therefore you cannot properly use your mil-dot calculations to range your target. Scope rings are a little cheap too. Hope this helped.

It all depends on what you are wanting to do with te scope. On first focal plane the reticle size changes with the magnification. This allows for the Mil Dot or other hold off/ranging functions to stay consistent through the full range of magnification. 1 Mil or MOA at 4x is the same at 16x. A second focal plane scope the reticle is the same size no matter what the magnification is. 1 Mil or MOA is only that at a set magnification, usually the highest on the scope.

I purchased the red/green dot. The green dot is easier for me to see on some of these very bright Arizona days, especially if your target has a red or orange center. Brightness settings work for both.

Well the eagle is older then the PX4, PX4 can have more extras on like lights lasers things like that not for the eagle as much the eagle shots faster about 410 fps to the PX4 at about 340 fps you can fire 16 pellets or BB's with the PX4 not with eagle at 8 before re-load I like bigger and faster you make the pick

If you are going to use the rifle for hunting the Tasco will do fine. If you plan to do long range shooting I would go with the Mil-Dot scope. Hope this helps..........

Hi there, the mil-dot reticle is very fine and is black without being illuminated. It has gradients of one and a half. Full dot then a small line to indicate the half mil dot. When powered it is green and there are several levels of illumination. It can be turned either way so you can turn to the brightest setting with one click or opposite and illuminate it gradually with each click. The clicks on this and the turrets are good and solid, ideal if shooting with gloves. Just to add the focus ring on the left side is large but very easy to adjust for maximum clarity. I have been a photographer for over thirty years and always use high end lenses. The scope is heavy with lots of glass which is a good sign to me. The clarity is excellent and I would compare this to an expensive Nikon lens for a professional camera. I'm extremely impressed with its build and will be hunting and putting it to the test in a few weeks. I like my cameras and I choose only the best lens (glass). So far it has met my standards very well. I have checked out some of the overly priced scopes and this one feels as though it is made to last where others feel like they should be mounted on an air-rifle; light and flimsy. The high end scopes I have looked through did not match this scope in anyway shape or form. Good clean crisp vision equates to good clean crisp and precise shots. Great value for the price. A little blurred at full sixteen power but is easy for me to handle. No scope is totally perfect across the board. So far it has my seal of approval. Will update after the hunt if you would like me to do so. Stay safe and well BruceM

I suggest you visit a gun dealer and let you try both, I find target acusistion faster and the adjustment for the red dot is very easy to adjust while you're on target. But tr both.

Pro is best value, but m4 is best technically. Average shooter will do very well with Pro!
