I found that with just about perfect vision I had to spin the focus ring all the way in. It's what I've been using to do my load development on 3 different uppers. I think it's at home on the grendel though and will probably stay there. I'm fixin'a grab a Zeiss 3-9x40 since they're stupid cheap and I get a discount thanks to some family that works there so my 6x45 won't wear a .223 specific scope anymore. In any case, I've used 18x scopes for load dev and really any higher than 10x the heartbeat becomes distracting. My pops was a military sniper and he seemed to be satisfied with a straight 10x. Besides, with miils fixed 10x makes the math easy and eliminates the whole spinning to an index magnification to range then back to a shooting magnification for engagement.
I get to dial 10MOA out of it with an eccentric change (Burris signature series rings) tonight which puts me about 3MOA off the bottom at 100yrds.
Crosshairs are about .2 or thereabouts. It's not shown in the manual with the rest of the subtend info so that's based on it occluding the target a particular amount when I was last shooting on 1" grid targets.
