Check out this article on the subject. Mil-dot scopes. Hope this helps FixYa up.

in a word you cant,,,,,its a 4x28mm so its a fixed scope at 4x's mag with a 28mm lens

Most BDC scopes have you line up a small set of wires on a target and then compensate for that range, some will be a holdover, some will have you raise the stadia to the zero. Basically a mildot, except the mildot is already set for an 18 inch target, you just raise the dots up. That is if you know your range. It can be confusing, A little practice and a bunch of ammo should have yo shooting ducks on the wing in no time. The range increments are usually 100 yards, maybe 4 dots, I don't think they would go much more than that.

I think the mildots only go so far, you have to do your homework on these things. Your 22.250 zeroed in at 100 yrds, velocity 3800, drops 7.4 inches at 300 yards, and 37 inches at 500 yards, so your mildots being set at x number of inches per dot, will not hit at 500 yards, your bullet is not enough. Even sighted in at 400 yards, the bullet drops 13.6 inches at 500 yards. But,,, with the same 400 yard zero, at 100,+4.7,200,+7.7,300,+6.6. That is about the flatest you'll get. And your mildots will be set likewise. You know they made the mildot scope for the trajectory of the 308. They changed everything for that bullet.

Mount the rifle with the scope and make a mark on the backstop right where the crosshairs are pointed at

Shoot several times, several shots will surley jolt the scope some.

If the crosshairs have moved much past your mark then this would indicate the scope is the issue.

If the crosshairs are still pretty well centered to the mark, its not the scope.

If at the same time your grouping looks terrible, and your scope still is on the mark, and the gun is WELL mounted, then the issue is with the accuracy of the rifle.
Make sure the rifle is mounted good for this to ba accurate .
Hope this helps

I found this info posted on another site. I saved it and will re-post for you. I hope this is what you were looking for: "the two lines across the top in your scope represents 18" which is the standard size for a deer's body from the top of his back to the bottom of his stomach. If you see a deer feeding in a field and you want to know how for he is, you turn your power up till the top of the deer and his stomach fit between the two lines at the top in your scope. You then look at the scale at the bottom of your scope and it will tell you how far he is in yards. I have one of these scopes on my 30-06. I am from East Texas and went on a hunt in West Texas several years back and everything out there looked like a 1,000 yards to me.
I saw these deer going around the end of a draw, and like I said it looked like they were out of range. I put the scope on the bigest and it said 250 yards, using it like descrided
above. I fired, killed the deer and when I steped it off it was 247 steps. I hope this answers your question."

One Milliradian (mil dot) is one onethousandth of a unit (1000 yrds its 1 yrd, 1000m its 1m)

No, the cross hairs remain fixed. The zoom serves only to magnify the field of view.

Robert, I have the Simmons 6-21x44 MilDot # 511056 scope on my Savage model 10FCP Law Enforcement issue rifle. I think you should check it out. It has 90 MOA internal adjustment and you could get you something like a 15 MOA or 20 MOA tactical rail and push your adjustments out to 1000 meters!!!
