does the mil dot zoom in when you increase magnification? like the mil dots at 1x appear smaller and at 4x they appear bigger?

No the reticle's size does not change with the zoom. Thus estimating distance with the mildot will change for different magnifications.

It's a fixed mil-dot regardless of zoom x. The scope diameter does shrink when zoomed in though

Concur with other responders: 'mil-dot' has specific meaning. This is a good value scope that has non-specific dots for 'reference'.

No it does not. The dot size stays the same no matter the magnification. This is a great scope and would highly recommend it.

While there are tactical sights which can change sight picture between different settings, this is not one of them... even so after using this sight over a period of a few months a 7x magnification is pretty much pointless for most targets. A good zoom, in my opinion, would be 5x at the most. If you do get this item, be sure to get a very sturdy mount for your rifle.

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.

As far as I can tell - it does not have any 1/2 zoom increments. I have used the Zoom a few times and haven't seen those type of increments. Hope that helps!

I have this scope on my 223. It is a 2nd focal plane reticle and the mil dots are only at the correct spacing when at 9x magnification. The 9x position is noted on the zoom dial with a small dot. I drew a 10cm grid on a board at 100 meters to verify. 3.9" at 328'.

It says 1.25x4, but I have heard it is more like 1.5x4. Decent scope, but I sold mine and I am going back to a true red dot with an unlimited field of view.

I think you're asking if they magnify. Yes, they do. See the details here: http://www.gunnars.com/gunnars-vs-alternatives/

Another possibility. The lens will actually zoom (optically) to 28X+ mag at lower resolutions. As stated in the owners manual with possible (I forget the exact wording) degradation of the image. Is it possible you may using a lower res?

Depends on what you want to mount in it. If it's a 1x scope you will see the front sight. If it's 4x and above you won't see it because at that magnification the scope can't focus on something that close. At 3-4x you may see a slight blur at the bottom of the scope, but at higher magnifications you likely won't see anything.

No, adjusting the magnification will not move the zero although the higher the mag the smaller the field of view. Zero is set when you adjust the windage and/or elevation nobs.

The scope is variable, as you know but the aiming point (dot within a circle) does not change in size with power change. It is, strictly, not a "reticle"--which connotes a crosshair. I don't know what you mean by a magnified red dot.

It depends on both the scope and the eyepiece. While the Barlow will increase the magnification by that amount you don't want to exceed the resolving power of the scope since you'll lose image quality and not gain additional detail. There are web calculators available that can help you figure out magnification and resolving power.

I turned my light on and adjusted it to see. I am not an expert but can only tell you what I do see when I adjust the lighted magnifying glass to different distances and it appears to magnify the specific items one focuses on to three times larger. Bear in mind I already wear glasses so this is what I see wearing my glasses and I do realize that it is different under different circumstances and different distances. What is important to me is that I can adjust the distant to what is helpful and applicable to my sight. At the same time I can only assume it will be the same for others

Unfortunately it is fixed at 4 magnification. The only thing that is adjustable is the ocular focus and the parallax. 4x zoom still has a nice field of view.

with out the 3x magnifier I wanted the two dot easy to see . with out the 3x magnifier over two dots hard to see them . yeah with 4 dots and no &#9726;3x magnifier looks like a straight line. I dint want the weight and pay the extra cash. my friend has the 4 dot and 3x magnifier really nice set up. hope this helped you :)
