Next to the scope it says "6X magnification"; in product description it says "true 2X magnification;" what am I missing?

Your missing out on 300 bucks if you buy this thing. Plus the price of replacing the batteries every five minutes. But to answer your question, it is 6x magnification

I really like the scope, but like several others that I have had, night vision is not equal to a daylight glass scope in magnification. If you need 4x then get the 5x. We are using them on crossbows and the 4x works just fine

2.25X according to the Amazon.com listed description. I got it for my wife. She loves it! To me, it has more than enough magnification.

Hello Joy,The magnification of this product is 2X. Complete information about it can be found at the following URL: http://www.opticsplanet.com/carson-magnifold-lighted-magnifier-mj50.htmlIf you need more magnification, try the more compact 5X magnification "Carson® 5x MiniBrite LED Lighted Slide-Out Aspheric Magnifier with Protective Sleeve (PO-55)" Also sold by Amazon.I own both of them and use them both of them everyday, and they are each extremely useful!I hope this is helpful to you!Matt K

Hi Anthony, The correct magnifications are 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x and 3x. The magnifications in the current video needs to be updated. We sincerely apologize for any confusion.

Magnification is the focal length of the scope (in this case 650mm) divided by the focal length of the eyepiece. The shortest included eyepiece is 10mm. So with what's included the maximum is 65x. If you get shorter eyepieces or a barlow you can easily more than double that. But you'll rarely use such high magnification. Atmospheric distortions become very visible at high magnifications. It has to be a pretty clear evening for me to even WANT that much power. (On most nights the limiting factor is the viewing conditions, not the telescope...)

I don't know the magnification, I looked on the web-site, and it wasn't there. I bought it for my husband to read maps, his globe, and other things. He says it is good for that, plenty strong. I looked through it at some very small print, with my glasses off and I could make it out. It's a very nice gift, or for yourself...

Hi, I purchased and mounted this scope and love it on my 6.5 Creedmoor. Clear optics (I'm able to see bullet holes easily at 300/400 yards) and great transferrable lifetime warranty. I reviewed the the offer description and there are a couple of items missing in the description that make me nervous. FFP and SFP products are not separate offerings and the description/offer is not clear which reticle is offered. Vendor has a high rating - Caveat emptor.

The whole thing is one magnifying lens. There isn't an insert that magnifies more than the rest of the lens. I don't think this magnifies to a power of 5x, but my mother finds the magnification perfect to compensate for her macular degeneration.

I am thinking two. It's been awhile since I ordered this. I know that it worked for my scope really well.

This has 30x ~ 60x. It's great as a spotting scope at 30x, and I can imagine using it to view game at long ranges at the 30x setting, but that would be quite difficult . . . the field of view is much too small for the hunting I've done (30x is just too much magnification).

You can only see 2X or 5X magnification. The 2X magnification lens is about 3 3/4" in diameter, and within that is a 3/4" diameter 5X magnification lens. I bought this magnifying glass to read some really small print books I bought, but I find that the 5X lens location makes it troublesome to use for that purpose. I will probably buy one that is rectangular and not round so that I can have more area without the small higher magnification lens.

2.5x means that an object will be two and one half times bigger when viewed through the magnifier, thus 2.5x is the magnification.

I believe this item may be an older edition. When I bought mine I price compared on their site too and didn't find the exact scope on it. They had a newer version with some bells and whistles that cost an extra couple hundred bucks and did the same thing as this one. I love mine. If I were going to do anything differently I might have chosen an optic that had up to 6X zoom instead of 4X. But for rapid target acquisition and precision at around 50 yards or less it's amazing. Still had a fist sized group at 100 yards this past weekend, but it's definitely not designed for precision shooting at that distance. I believe this item may be an older edition.

No it is a 2X magnification with a 5X bifocal area ( about the size of a half dollar) for fine detail

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!

My best guess would be 7x. There are no markings so I can't be sure. It's very good magnification, but if you're really concerned you'd have to contact Conair.
