I have a nightforce nxs 5.5-22x56 with a mildot reticle. The power setting for the mildot is 11x. My question is at 22 power will the mildot still work? Will a 36" object at 1,000 yards become 1/2 mil? I could find any info in their manual. Thanks
 
Re: Mildot power settings on nightforce

The mil scale should be true at 22x not 11x. At 11x you will have to double everything so one mil is actually two mil.

On the power ring of the scope it has a solid dot at 11x. I assumed that this ment that it is the power it should be set of for ranging with the mildot.

I believe Varmint Slayer is correct.
The MLR and the NP-R1's and 2's are true at 22x and doubled at 11x. I've never owned the mildot, but I've never seen anything to indicate that they are different.
