aaron airgunner Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 i should imagine full magnification. im not sure though. what model is it as i may be able to help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeymagic1969 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Most Mildot scopes are true mildot at x10 power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shot shot Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) is it first focal plane, or second focal plane? because if it's the former, the 3.6" will be the same regardless of magnification chosen Edited February 16, 2010 by shot shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tungsten Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Jesus what a response - thanks. Model 4-12x50AO NMM41250AO Focal plane yes I understand what you mean however the rectle size changes with magnification (just tried it!!)

Then i would suggest it will be correct at x10 power as i said earlier - seems to be what most American scopes use and almost all others follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron airgunner Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 no meant like, 'mountmaster'or 'gameking' not the model number. sorry if i was unclear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi, As a rule, it's 10 but that may not apply in your case. Sorry I can't be of more help. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'd go with the consensus here, I'm pretty sure you will find it 10x on the Nikko Sterling range. But if all else fails have a look here, or have a word with them... http://www.nikkostirling.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tungsten Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 no meant like, 'mountmaster'or 'gameking' not the model number. sorry if i was unclear MOUNSTAR AO. However, i have encountered a problem! while bore sighting this scope I found i needed to raise the horizontal rectlile line to bring the scope to a bore sighted "zero" So turning the elevation turret in the up direction as indicated on the turret the line actually went down further away from the bore sighted point of impact!!!

casts_by_fly Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 then turn it the other way. 'Up' in that case means bullet impact. 'up' puts the crosshair lower, which forces you to aim higher and thus a higher bullet impact. Forget abot bore sighting anyway. Just shoot it at 25 yards at a piece of A3 and see where you are.

Thanks Rick He's right - think of "up" as moving the pellet impact point up, not the crosshair. I had a Nikko Stirling Gameking 4-16x50 AO IR and I'm sure it was @ 10x zoom. Do bare in mind it's 3.6" @ 100 yards for one milliradian (or mil dot) so should be circa 1.2" at 33 yards.

Paddy Galore! Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I hate milldot! For just this reason! That, and i'm too stupid to work out the maths! much easier to guage the distance and hold over or under by sight. Ignore the milldots i say, to hell with them!
