Gun Optics: Understanding magnification in optics: a beginner's guide?


Listen Later

If you are looking for an optic for your gun then you will be seeing this quite a lot, or you'll be seeing numbers and dashes and digits within the products title. I did some digging and learned a few things, which have proved to be helpful when considering a rifle scope and its magnification. 

Magnification is an important specification to consider when choosing a rifle scope. It refers to the level of detail that the scope is able to provide when looking at a distant object. A higher magnification allows for a more detailed and closer view of the target, but it can also make the image more difficult to stabilize and may reduce the field of view. A lower magnification provides a wider field of view, but the image may be less detailed. The appropriate magnification for a rifle scope depends on the intended use of the scope and the distance of the target. Some scopes have a fixed magnification, while others have a variable magnification that can be adjusted. It's important to choose a magnification that is suitable for the intended shooting range and purpose.

Our reflex red dot is 1x magnification so perfect for close quarters. You can find it on sale here:
