Quoted: I keep reading how everyone loves the scopes that are 3-9, 4-12, 6.5-20, you get the point. I just bought a scope the other day that is a fixed 10 (going on a Fal by the way), and find it much nicer than variable's. What is everyone's preference and why? For me, I don't want to have to worry about adjusting the damn things every five minutes. Same reason I ditched the CompM for the Reflex. I prefer a scope matched to the effective range of the rifle. I can't ever see myself taking a shot much longer than 200 yards with .223, so maybe a fixed 4X or 6X would do the trick. My 24" bull barrel AR came with a 4.5 X 14 Leupold, but I really think it's too much scope for that gun. I am going to put it on my new hbar .308 Ruger, and buy a 6X or 8X for the bull barrel. I'll be putting a 4X on my 16" Hbar AR. |

Variables have an advantage of being able to be set to a low power for carrying around. For example, if you're out hunting, you'll want your scope set at the lowest magnification. This will increase your field of view, and allow quicker target acqusition. IF you come across a long shot, you'll be able to crank up the magnification if necessary.
Target shooters tend to want higher magnifications, as target acqusition speed isn't an issue, and they generally shoot from fixed, supported positions where a higher-power scope is useful. It can also allow the shooter to see the impact point (i.e., HOLE) in the target without needing a seperate spotting scope. A fixed scope is more rugged, as it has fewer moving parts, but variables are more versatle. -Troy |

On my 16" Bushy I have a 1.5-4.5 Bushnell cheapy. I leave it on 1.5x for fast aquisition at home, and turn it op to 4.5 when I'm at the range for groups.
