On a varible power scope (lets just say a vortrx viper pst 6-24x50 sfp) if I shoot at (x) yards. (example 200yrds) on (x) power (lets say 8x power) and a observer on a spotting scope with mil dots observes the shot. Will his mil dot correction call out match mine?

Re: Mil dot in relation to varible magnigication match
On a SFP scope the mils only work on 1 power, if you have a spotter with a Mil Reticle his mils are most likely correct, yours will not be.. You have to also "map" the SFP scope, just because the manufacturer says it works on 10X it might not be exactly on 10X or with a 6-24X it would be Max power, but you have to test it.
On a FFP scopes the mils are correct on all powers, so you will match whoever is calling for you.
Even two SFP may not see the mils the same way on the same power, as power rings are not Calibrated.

Re: Mil dot in relation to varible magnigication match
the PST 1mil in scope = 1mil down range @ 24x
at 12x 1mil in scope = 2mil down range
at 6x 1mil in scope = 4mil down range
look on the dial, it will say x1, x2, x4
on FFP 1=1 at any mag, but the cross hais will look smaller at low mag.. like this
22x
20x
10x
3.8x

Re: Mil dot in relation to varible magnigication match
Ring;
So assuming if my spotter is using this
http://www.optics4birding.com/barska-tactical-11to33x50-wp-angled-spotting-scope-kit.html
And im at 6x shooting at 100yrds
My spotter observes impact at 4 mils low on x15 magnification does he call a 1mil holdover?
Or do our magnifications have to "equal"

its listed in the vortex manual.. page 2

providing the Mil Dot on that spotter is FFP he would call his mils as he sees them...
2 mill low
you on 24X would hold 2mil
on 12x hold 4 mil
on 8x hold 6 mil
on 6x hols 8mil

Since both your spotter and scope are sfp you need to map both no matter what the manual says.
