i have a 4-16X mil-dot scope.according to it's manual,the mil-dot reticle is accurate at 9X. i'm wondering,could i use the mil-dot at 9X to establish distance to target,make the necessary click-adjustments,and then increase magnification to enhance target size,and still fire accurately ?
another thing,this S&W scope i have has "rainguard" coated lenses.according to bushnells website,this coating is "exclusive and patented",and only used on their elite 3200 & 4200 models,the ones that were once bausch & lomb scopes. do you think it likely that the smith and wesson scopes were manufactured by them?
also, the manual states that at 9X, 1 mil-dot equals 3.44 MOA. any idea why it wouldn't be the 3.6 i believe it should be,and will the apparant discrepancy cause me problems ? thanks in advance for any help....
