Fixed Magnification Riflescopes

FIXED MAGNIFICATION RIFLE SCOPES

Fixed magnification rifle scopes (i.e. with fixed power) have a permanently set magnification level that cannot be changed during shooting. This means the scope does not include a ZOOM function and the target image cannot be manually zoomed in or out.

Their main advantage is a simpler construction, which results in higher reliability, a stable image, and a more affordable price. For this reason, fixed magnification scopes are especially popular among recreational shooters, air rifle owners, and users of rimfire firearms.

How to read fixed magnification markings

• 4× → the scope has fixed 4x magnification
• 6× → the scope has fixed 6x magnification

Unlike variable magnification rifle scopes (e.g. 4–12×), where the magnification range can be manually adjusted, a fixed magnification scope always operates at one constant power, optimised for a specific shooting distance.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FIXED MAGNIFICATION RIFLE SCOPE?

Choosing the right fixed magnification depends on the shooting distance. For short-range shooting, lower magnification is recommended (e.g. 2x, double magnification). For medium distances (e.g. 50 to 100 m), parameters such as 6x (six-times magnification) are ideal. Higher magnification is suitable for very long distances. As a rule, the lower the magnification, the wider the field of view and the better the light transmission. Conversely, higher magnification means a narrower field of view and lower light transmission.
