Thread: Help on scope magnification range??

It's not so much the power it's the clarity and resolution of the scope the better the glass the less power you need to see your target, for many years the US Marines and other snipers
used 10X fixed power scopes and made hits passed 1000 metres, I have an old S&B 10x42 sniper scope that I would use on animals at 500 metres it's clear as a bell,
Buy the best scope you can even if you can really afford it you can't shoot what you can't see, If money was not an issue I would buy a Zeiss Victory 1.5-6x42.
