Hello everyone -
I successfully sighted-in my new CVA Plains Rifle last week, and I was able to consistently hit the bulls-eye at 100 yards.
When I got home from the range, I realized that the magnification was only set on 4x or 5x power.....I'm not certain.
My question /concern is regarding Nikon's BDC information. I used Nikon's "Spot-On" website in an attempt to print a ballistic report for the four circles located below the cross hair.
From what I can determine, when sighting-in, the magnification is the determining factor in regard to the yardage for the circles below the cross hair. Am I screwed because I didn't have the scope set to 9x when sighting-in?
If a person can hit the bulls-eye consistently at 100 yards with the cross-hairs on the bulls-eye, does it matter if the magnification is set to 4x, 7x, or 9x? (this is kinda' hard to put into words)
Conversely, it appears that in regard to Nikon's Spot-On information, I might be screwed because I can't verify what the exact magnification was when I sighted-in my CVA. (please tell me I'm wrong) I really wanted to make use of those BDC circles for distances greater then 100 yards - the only thing I can be certain of is that at a magnification of 4x (or 5x) I'm dead-on at 100 yards.
Unfortunately, I have no time to head back to the shooting-range before gun season starts this weekend.
Any thoughts here?
