Which scope ?

Normally it will be on Max power, unless otherwise marked.

Once you get it, calibrate your reticle. Then you will know for sure. Good Luck.

Cheers,

As Doc said, calibrate the reticle.

Be aware, with some cheap scopes a mil may never equal a mil. I had a 6-24 power that would have had to be at about 26x to be correct. However, you could do the math and figure out where it works for 1/2 mil.

It's not just on cheap scopes that error occurs. I and a friend of mine have seen that happen to two of the biggest scope manufacturers in the U.S.

Check every scope, especially the second focal-plane scopes, to avoid surprises.

I did some checking and mine ended up being 9x for ranging. So make sure you check it.
