Probably a dumb question but If I am target shooting say 200yds on 4x magnification and then increase to 16x magnification at the same target will that affect my shot placement?
Why is my scope inaccurate when I turn it up in magnification
Vortex- I have a RRA BT3. Wife bought me a 5-25×50 PST gen II. I plan to shoot some 1000, but mostly 300 and closer. Will probably dd a offset red dot optic for close up. I think I have more scope than I need. Thinking of sending it back for the 3-16. Thoughts?
Any fixed power scopes in the future?
Does changing my magnification effect my zero?
If I wanted to know what scope would be best for 30-06 shooting at targets around 400-800 yards what would be best?
What exactly is a 1 power in a scope – is it just slight magnification or is it actually no magnification at all?
you answered exactly no questions… typical
Love my crossfire ii. Just started to take it to 600 yds from 100 and 200 yard targets, but I’ve ran out of clicks to get it zeroed. Do I need another scope?
Very interesting and helpful video!
But what if I want to see the craters on the moon with my scope?
My issue is is that I wear glasses and I just don’t know what the frick to use because of that. Though I’m highly interested in the crossfire 2 3-9×40. I’m hoping I can try one out in the store before buying it…
4-16X50 Diamondback Tactical
For most hunters – 3-9×40 – and high quality – is perfect.
Great stuff Vortex. Keep it coming!!
I will be shooting an AR-7 up to 50metres away. To shoot game on the farm in Africa. Is a 4 x 32 suitable for my needs. Thanks

What kind of magnification do I need for 200 yards max?
Just a heads up for optics/scope companies making YouTube videos. Those of us that look to YouTube videos for our sighting needs only want to know two things.
#1: Which one are snipers using to take out jihadi from two miles away?
#2: Where can we get one for under $199.99?
😳
You guys need to make some non-fitted shirts for us athletically-challenged Vortex users!
I’m new to scopes. So what can you tell me about 4x 32 scope
VORTEX #-F’N-1! I have 4 now.
Ditch the spandex shirt man, it’s not doing you any favors.
Built in the same factory with the same material as primary arms optics but PA is half the price.
what is up with you idiots and music and these videos
Can you make a video on how to clean scope lens?
Can a vortex 4-12×40 diamondback be used for long range shooting to 1000yrds
