This style of reticle does not visually change in size when you change the magnification.

The turret on the right-hand side of the riflescope is the Windage Turret and is used to adjust the point-of-impact left and right.

STRIKE EAGLE ® RIFLESCOPE Eye Relief and Reticle Alignment To Visually Bore Sight a Rifle: After installing the bottom ring halves on the mounting base, place the riflescope on the bottom ring halves and loosely install the upper ring halves. Before tightening the scope ring screws, adjust for maximum eye relief to avoid injury from recoil: 1. Place the rifle solidly on a rest and remove the bolt. 1. Set the riflescope to its highest magnification. 2. Ensure the riflescope is centered in the rings.
STRIKE EAGLE RIFLESCOPE 3. Carefully fire another three-shot group and see if the bullet group is centered on the bullseye. This procedure can be repeated as many times as necessary to achieve a perfect zero. Indexing the Elevation and Windage Turrets Strike Eagle® riflescopes feature Elevation and Windage Turrets that allow you to re-index the zero indicator after sight-in without disturbing your zero setting.
