What does 4x32 scope mean?

by Richard Douglas Updated October 6, 2021. The 4×32 is the magnification and objective lens of a rifle scope. So the '4x' is magnification and '32' is the diameter of your objective lens.

What range is a 4x32 scope Good For?

4×32 scope has 4 times magnification and 32mm objective. This makes it ideal for usages between 10 and 300 yards. Some claim that it can be used for a distance up to 400 yards and that is possible. However, you will need better skills in order to use this scope at this distance.

What magnification is 4x32?

Power expresses the magnification as a factor compared to the naked eye. So in a fixed power scope, such as the 4x32, the object in view is magnified four times. An object would appear to be four times closer than it would with the naked eye.

What does 3.5 x35 mean on a scope?

The Trijicon ACOG 3.5×35 is a fixed 3.5x magnification scope. That means your sight picture through the optic will appear 3.5 times larger than it would to the naked eye at the same distance.

What distance is ACOG good for?

It's advertised as a combat optic, so I expect it to provide combat effective accuracy at ranges from 5 to 500 yards.

What is 4 12X44 scope?

4-12X44 – This scope would be have a power range from 4X power up to 14X power with a 44mm ocular bell.

Is a 4x32 scope any good?

The Prime 1-4x32 is an excellent example of quality for the money. Yes, it's super cheap, but it will be more than adequate for many hunters and shooters. If you're shooting close ranges or want something with a little more flexibility than a fixed 4x scope, the 1-4x32 is the ideal choice for the many tasks ahead.

What does 3x32 mean?

The size of the objective lens is usually found at the END of the numbers (or after the x). For example: 3x32 means it has a 32mm objective lens. What about if it's a variable scope?

What magnification is best for deer hunting?

Minimum Requirements for a Deer Hunting Scope

For closer range situations and daylight shots, a basic 3-9×40 scope should be plenty good enough for whitetails, mule deer, or elk. In fact, that's probably the most common and best scope magnification for deer hunting.

How much scope magnification do I need?

Get a magnification between 9-12x.

Good. To find how much magnification a scope has, look at the first number (or range of numbers) before the x. For example, if a scope says 2×30, that means the magnification is 2x.

What do scope sizes mean?

In a 3-9x40 scope, the 3 means three power, or 3x. This means that the image you see through the scope appears three times (3x) closer than it does with your naked eye. The 9 means nine power, or nine times (9x) closer than it appears with your naked eye. The forty (40) is the objective lens diameter in millimeters.

What scope do I need for 800 yards?

As a general rule, 1x magnification per 100 yards of distance has been the prescription for some time. By that standard, one could adequately take an 800 yard shot with an 8x rifle scope. On the contrary, if you've looked through a scope at 8x, you'll soon realize that more magnification is nice to have.

How far can a 3-9x40 scope See?

You can shoot out to 1,000 yards just fine with a 3-9x40 if it has good turrets and decent optical quality, so it's tough to pick just one perfect magnification range for long-range shooting because everyone will have their own preferences.

How does an ACOG scope work?

ACOG reticles are illuminated at night by an internal tritium phosphor. Some versions have an additional daytime reticle illumination via a passive external fiberoptic light pipe or are LED-illuminated using a dry battery. The first ACOG model, known as the TA01, was released in 1987.

What does 4x12 scope mean?

The 4 to 12 marking mean that the scope is a variable powered scope. Normally the magnification range is marked with 2 numbers separated by a dash, but in this case the dash was left off. So, the 4 to 12 means that the scope has a magnification range that starts at 4x and adjusts all the way up to 12x.

Whats better MOA or Mrad?

Which is easier to use: MOA or MRAD? The short answer: it's the shooter's preference. If you think in the metric system (yards/inches) then it is easier to deal with MOA. If you measure in the empirical system (meters/centimetres) then MRAD may be easier.

What does 4x40 scope mean?

For example, a 4x40 scope will pass more light to the exit lens and your eye's pupil than a 4x32 scope will allow. This can be determined in a relative way by dividing the magnification (4) into the objective lens' diameter (40), determining that a 10mm diameter of light passes through to the eye in a 4x40 scope.

Are Bushnell Prime scopes any good?

For example, all Prime optics have 1-inch maintubes, which limits elevation and windage travel in the scope, and the turrets are capped. That means they're made to be zeroed at one distance and left alone. In our testing, the optical image quality was good, making these scopes a great value.

What is a fixed scope?

About Fixed Scopes

As their name suggests, fixed or “fixed-power” scopes have no adjustment in the amount of magnification they offer.

How far can you shoot with 4 12x44?

Many factors affect maximum shooting range including the shooter's abilities, rifle, ammo, and weather. However, with ideal conditions and shooter experience with the right rifle and loads, you can get out to 1,000 yards.

What magnification do I need for 600 yards?

With 30x magnification, seeing your targets clearly at 600 yards is no problem. It's a good thing that the scope is FFP, because 30x is more than I like in most cases.

Is an ACOG good for hunting?

The ACOG is a great scope for hunting hogs. It is light and reliable in every environment. It is one of the best crossover tactical tools that I believe serious hog hunters should look at.
