What do the different numbers mean on scopes? 4x32, 3-9x40? I'm looking for a couple of new scopes, one for my .22 and one for an SPR build I'm working on. CDNN has some pretty good deals on scopes. I'm looking at a cheap simmons for my .22, it's $30. Is that a decent brand? What should I be paying for a Swarovski? I've got a friend who goes to Russia once a year and he says he can get them cheap. |

First numbers are the magnification, then the objective lens diameter in millimeters. 4x20 is a four power scope with a 20mm lens. Variable power scopes are labelled the same, i.e. 3-9x40 means scope zooms from 3x to 9x, and has a 40mm lens. CDNN has some decent plinking scopes from time to time, but I've also seen them advertise a lot of no-name Chinese junk scopes as well. For a .22, a Simmons should be fine. |
