Is this a FIXED 4X scope or does it actually have a magnification dial? So many different accounts and reports on this? Can you please clarify. Thanks

This is a FIXED 4 times multiplication scope. It is not adjustable as far as visibility is concerned

I think that what is confusing you is some are saying it has "visibility" dial and some are saying that it does not. The "visibility dial" is used to focus in your cross hairs only. You would want your cross hairs as clear and crisp as possible. However, you CANNOT adjust the magnification of this scope. IT is a straight 4X magnification. If you buy a scope with magnification adjustment, it will say something like 3 x 9 adjustable magnification.This is a good scope for a .22 caliber up to 75 to 100 yards. I have seen these mounted on .22 caliber handguns with raised rings so that the shooter can use the Iron sight or the scope.

No problem...If you are looking for a Good QUALITY scope that has 3x9 magnification (brings target 3 or up to 9 times closer), try the new "Simmons Truplex Magnum Riflescope". It has a 3x9 magnification and the cross hairs can be illuminated (either red or green...your choice). I bought this scope and it is excellent.I had it zeroed in in no time at all. You can get it on Amazon.

The Tru plex is great for a .22 caliber @ 100 yards but I don't shoot much further than that.I also went with the Centerpoint from Walmart 3x9 (mil dot). I actually got a chart to use which uses distance vs windage and drop. But, then again, I don't shoot much further than 100 yards.

This is a fixed power scope, it's awesome on .22's or even on an sks. I use one on my sks.hope this helps.

This is a 4x magnification scope with visibility adjustment.It also comes with windage and bullet drop compensation dials.

The magnification is stated as 5X. I purchased this for my father in-law who has macula degeneration, it has helped his situation somewhat. Hope this helps...

It's a 4 plex reticle. No mil dot, no hash marks of any kinds. Looks like 4 arrows pointing towards dead center. The glass is flawless, the light absorption is awesome, the turrets are great. Being that Redfield was bought out by Leupold it is made by their standards but not with their price. The Objective Diameter is pretty big. I had to buy Ultra High rings to mount to my AR. I'm pretty pleased with the scope. I would like a mil dot reticle but for the price it's pretty solid. Anything else I can help you with?

I did not save the box, and the Magnifer itself doesn't say what the magnification is. I would hazard the guess that it is 2X or 3X, with greater magnification in a small spot within the larger glass. Whatever the magnification is, I find it to be what I need for doing beading work...but I am nearsighted and so don't need much correction to do close-up work. Someone who is farsighted, or who uses reading glasses, might need something stronger. I hope this helps!

From the description I believe you have a variable power scope. Mine is a fixed 3x and does not have those markings.

I'm estimating about 2.5x to 3x. For higher magnification, you may have to go for a smaller diameter. I like the wide field of view the 4" glass gives. It's a beautiful magnifier and comes in a very nice box (in case you have gift-giving in mind).

It is a 3-X optical magnifier. there's supposed to be a 5-X too, but I haven't been able to find one. It does have a 5x bubble but it tends to be a distraction.

sorry have not had mine long enough to answer that. but i will tell you that the magnification is not what i expected.would have sent it back but my husband 'hard wired' it and i did not have the heart to tell him i was not happy with it. don't buy it!

Depends on what you want to mount in it. If it's a 1x scope you will see the front sight. If it's 4x and above you won't see it because at that magnification the scope can't focus on something that close. At 3-4x you may see a slight blur at the bottom of the scope, but at higher magnifications you likely won't see anything.

This scope is weird. When I first got it in the mail, I went outside with just the scope and played around with the magnification. Around 18/20x, the sight picture would be slightly blurry, like someone who is slightly nearsighted. However, when I took it to the range, at 50 and 100yds, I could see my target paper just fine. I think the problem is using the 40x magnification to look at something thats only 30 ft away will cause a blurry image.I've only used this on my 10/22 and does not require a lot of adjustments between trips to the range. I would recommend this scope, but only when it's on sale. This scope is weird. When I first got it in the mail, I went outside with just the scope and played around with the magnification.

A fixed four will likely be cheaper and will work fine. With a 22 and its range, a 2x option would be good, but you will not need the magnification at 7x. If it were me, I would go for a fixed 4x for a 22. Hope this helps.

My ATN has no magnification. In perfect conditions (full moon) I'm comfortable taking shots at stationary targets at 50 yards. Using a 980nm IR illuminator works well. Source is invisible to the human eye but the scope sees it well.

I cant tell you the distance as I returned mine. This info isn't included in the listing. The mount will place your magnifier 7mm below the centerline of your sight.(i.e. Eotech, etc). It is for the lower 2/3 of the view. There is another swing mount manufactured that has the same part number. The name of the manufacturer has slipped my mind as of right now, but it can be purchased from Primary Arms. Go to their web sight and read your descriptions. They also have the spring loaded push button and the magnifier flips to the side. That is what I bought instead. It is tighter and more stable as far as holding the magnifier. The Vortex has too much play and wobble for my taste. I cant tell you the distance as I returned mine. This info isn't included in the listing.

with out the 3x magnifier I wanted the two dot easy to see . with out the 3x magnifier over two dots hard to see them . yeah with 4 dots and no &#9726;3x magnifier looks like a straight line. I dint want the weight and pay the extra cash. my friend has the 4 dot and 3x magnifier really nice set up. hope this helped you :)

Their are more differences than the reticle. The 4x is really pushed being asked to see a target at 100 yards. So you need the higher magnification past 100. At that range the BDC starts to be useful. 25 to 100 yds 4x, 75 to 200 9x. So the reticle comes with the scope magnification you want; dictated by the range you want to see across.

JJ350, I have a AimPoint with a magnifier on a M-4 platform, works well, but you have to swing the magnifier into place to go from 1X to 3X. I bought the Burris for 3-gun competition and is mounted on Colt 3-gun ready platform. The Burris XTR 1x4 scope comes with a holographic red dot that i mounted on top and good for close targets, for targets 50-200 meters downrange, I get into the scope and I added a speed ring for quick access from 2X to 4X. I can dial it up shooting or running. The glass is very clear and has held up very nicely so far. (6mos) Well worth the money and comes with the mount as well. You mount it, zero it, shoot it.

While there are tactical sights which can change sight picture between different settings, this is not one of them... even so after using this sight over a period of a few months a 7x magnification is pretty much pointless for most targets. A good zoom, in my opinion, would be 5x at the most. If you do get this item, be sure to get a very sturdy mount for your rifle.
