Does changing the magnification change the zero?

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.

Technically no...the zero is where the cross hairs are set and the bullet meets, which is the center of a curved lense, as you move away from the center of the lense the image gets distorted, so zero is never changed but point of impact can change if you are shooting way past your zero and "holding the cross hairs over" target. parallax comes into play as well, longer conversation. ..in short, not on any shooting normal people do.

No, it's a fixed magnification. You can adjust the focus by getting closer or farther away from the object you're magnifying.

It's my understanding that you should set it to zero after use to maintain its calibration. That pretty much goes for all the "click" type torque wrenches.

No magnification. I sent mine back. You can get dual zone magnification for $30 or so from other vendors.

Yes. Have not made any further adjustments to scope since it was zeroed. Scope is very well designed.

If you go to Nikon's website, they will be able to tell you how to adjust your zero based on the yardage, the rifle, and the specific ammunition you are using. The website is great. http://spoton.nikonsportoptics.com/spoton/spoton.html

I also noticed the "200" and assumed that it meant 2.00. Turns out that it did: the glasses are indeed a +2.0 correction. I'm not sure whether they just left out the decimal point after the 2, or maybe "200" is just what they call it.

Yes. This measurement means that it has variable magnification. It will magnify from 20x to 60x zoom. The "x80mm" number describes the diameter of the objective lens ( the one farthest from your eye) . the larger the objective lens, the more light it captures = brighter picture.

I think -4.0 and -4 are the same. If you are near-sighted, you should choose negative.

John, to the best of my understanding (and I'm no expert) this is a 2nd focal plane scope. The reticle does not change size as magnification changes. If that isn't an issue for you I can assure you this is a fine optic. I've put hundreds of rounds through my Varminter (AR platform) using varying magnifications and I love the way this scope performs. Just one enthusiast's opinion.

This is NOT a magnifying scope. It is intended for sighting only. Technically, this would be a "sight", not a "scope", and would have a power of x1. It has two adjustments to zero the reticle. There could be another adjustment for intensity and size of the reticle, but there is no magnification on this model. I hope this was helpful.

If you wear reading glasses...the kind you purchase at the drug store, get the same magnification. If you don't need reading glasses get the 0.0.

No you dont. The term 'focal length multiplier', and I am assuming you are referring to this number, does nothing to your focal length. It is a horrible term. It is your FOV (field of view) that changes.

Yes! I works well but the magnification is different from the standard eyepiece.
1969020
No, it is the modification number of the model itself. If you need corrective lenses, choose a different model which would have "correction" or "optical" in its name, like "Vanquisher Optical".

That's a good question. So I checked it out with my Nikon D600 to see what happens. It turns out that the effective f-stop does change through the full magnification range. I set the aperture to f-2.8 at infinity and then focused up close on a small object. The camera was set to Aperture Mode so mechanically, the aperture was fixed the whole time. The effective f-stop was reduced to f-4.8 at 1:1 magnification. This result is expected due to the drop off in light at this high magnification. Hope this helps.

My experience is that it adjusts the focal length and this the magnification increased, but you must move the subject closer or farther from the end. You may have to move the small object into the window if it comes into focus. Depth of field gets very tight at higher mag.
