Reticle help

Can someone dumb this down for me. I’m trying to use reticle #4. Does this mean the values change with the increase in magnification or do the values stay the same?

FFP scopes maintain reticle subtension values throughout the viable magnification range. More common second focal plane viable scopes will specify a magnification setting and corresponding values( exa. a hash mark space equals 2 moa at 20x) typically the power(magnification) specified is at the top end. The subtension values will increase as the magnification power is reduced. You can use a grid target at 100 yards(moa) to learn your scopes(sfp) reticle marking values at different magnification settings. Sorry, didn't realize you are probably asking about digital scopes. A grid target would work for a digital scope reticle check.

My Burris thermal the reticle covers more area as distance increases, zooming the image will make the target larger in relation to the reticle.

When I zoom I can’t even seem the hash marks on the reticle once I get past the second zoom level. My scope is a agm varmint ts50 384
 
Never use that reticle but assume it means the hashmarks 'grow' with magnification. I.e., it's 4 mil no matter what the mag., basically NO reticle manipulation at higher mag.
 
Synchronously : happening, existing, or arising at precisely the same time. Zoom up or down, hash mark maintains 13 moa reference. Put insulated tape grid at 100 yards(2 horizontal pieces 13.611" apart outside to outside) see if the hash marks are actually correct and if the reference is static through zoom range. 50 yards hash should be 6.5 moa or approximately 6.8 inches.
 
Totally depends on what scope you have and the reticle choice. Should be explained in the manual. l would take a piece of alum foil (if this is a thermal) 13” square and place it on a cardboard backer then test it out as you are zooming at 100. Be aware that it will probably “ bloom” larger than 13” but should be proportionate,

Ok this is perfect thank you. I did look up the definition of synchronously. And came to the same conclusion. I will do exactly this and make a couple targets.
