It was durastic and sometimes very minimal. But the authors opinion was that it will change in almost all except high end glass. I dont remember it mentioning different reticles. He basically had me convinced most scopes will change unless they are in the first focal plane. My bad....
Not a bad, as it can get quite confusing. Sometimes even the point of aim will appear different . For all intents and purposes a SFP 'scope will induce some POI shift. It can be checked on any 'scope if you have a Collimator. The only way to avoid it completely seems to be FFP.
I always zero my SFP's at the max magnification .. where you really need the enhanced accuracy at longer ranges.
