This ones a bit complicated (for me)
Situation: I have a Chinese scope on my cricket. It holds zero superbly well and I like it. I also have a MTC Viper connect but I don't have the rings to mount it on the cricket yet. So coming back to the Chinese scope. This one claims to be a 3-9X scope. But at 9X it's about half as big as a proper 9x scope. So I know it's not truly a 9x scope. I shoot it at 9X power.
The problem: I have been trying to figure out what is the true min and maximum magnification on the scope so I can enter the values on sterlok. My target size is 3.6 inches which means it should cover 1 mildot at 100 yards or 2 mil dots at 50. However in reality at 9X the target actually covers only half a mil dot at 9X magnification (50 yards)
Other data available:
1. Scope at 9X is zeroed at 60 yards
2. At 100 yards it shoots exactly 1 mil dot holdover.
3. At 30 yards it shoots more or less 2 mil dots hold under.
The question: Is there any mathematical way of figuring out what is the TRUE min and maximum power on my scope assuming I only shoot it at 9 X and at a 3.6 inch target. I wanna enter these data points on sterlok so I can use this scope properly. Tried a couple of random combinations of min and max but wasn't able to figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated here. I know this one could be an easy fix for the experts here and to be honest I am banking on that. Thanks in advance.
