X4 and X6 Scopes

[busanga]

4 x magnification 6 x magnification and 3 to 9 times magnification.

nope !! they call a 3 x 18 a 6X scope and a 5 x 30 also a 6X scope...my guess is 18/3 and 30/5

and a 6 x 24 x 50 is 24/6 4X scope

to do with the primary optical lens magnification i suspect....

all conjecture is why am asking

[Shed tuner]

are you talking about the zoom range ?

i.e. 3-9 is 3x, 2.5-10 is 4x ?

If so , then that's pretty clear..

Ah yes i guess that is what they mean. zoom range

Do you mean this ?

An exit pupil is the small circle (column) of light that is visible in the ocular lens when you hold your scope (or binocular) at arm's length. The larger the exit pupil is, the brighter the image that will be entering your eye. To find the exit pupil for your scope, divide the objective lens diameter in millimeters by the magnification. For example, if your scope is four power (4X), and your objective lens is thirty-six millimeters in diameter (36mm), divide 4 into 36 and it equals 9. Nine would be the exit pupil size in diameter in millimeters.

no i was talking about this http://mtcoptics.com/viper-pro/ which is the zoom range i guess

scroll down to Viper pro features you will see it says X6 scopes talking about their 3x18 x 50 and their 5x30 x50

I'd ignore that it's probably just a mistake , don't think about it too much you'll only hurt your brain.

no is not mistake have seen scopes described like this many times.

was always wondering why they described a variable mag scope as a 6x or 4x. but now is see they mean the zoom range

a 3-9 x50 means it can be 3x magnification 4 x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x ,and 9 times magnification. the 50 is the exit lens size in mm
