What range is a 4x scope Good For?
At the 4x magnification I think this scope is as good as my ACOG. The eye relief stays the same at either magnification so that’s one less thing you have to worry about. With the ability to get an accurate sight picture from 100-500 yards this scope is perfect for close quarters combat and mid-range situations.22-Aug-2022
What does 6 24×50 mean on a scope?
What does 6 24×50 mean on a scope? With these rifle scope numbers this is a variable powered scope with 6x as the lowest magnification setting.

What kind of scope do I need to shoot 1000 yards?
If you’re looking to save some money and don’t plan on shooting at 1000yds often then a fixed 10x scope will do. That’ll work well for target shooting especially if the target you’re aiming for is fairly large. I was able to reliably hit a 10” steel plate at that distance at 10x mag.22-Aug-2022
What magnification do snipers use?

How far can you shoot with 10x magnification?
General rule of thumb is you want to magnify the target so it appears 33 yards away so a 10x scope is truly designed for shots out to 300 yards. A 12x is designed for shots out to 400 yards.10-Mar-2021
