What is the scope rated at? Like 2-6x, 2-7x, ?
Here's the deal... I wear glasses, I got a good dose of astigmatism, and had to get the dreaded bifocals a couple months ago. So in order to get a clear reticle and sight picture I have to adjust the diopter on every scope I have. But on the tact zone I had to run it way out, enough so that the whole scope cover pops off when you try to open it.
Which leads to my next question... Does that change the magnification level of the scope on the whole? Reason I ask is when I turn the speed dial all the way down till it stops, to my eye looks real close to a 1x power, just slightly more magnification than looking at an object with the naked eye. This is actually a good thing for me, I much prefer to shoot a crossbow with both eyes open, helps me track the arrow and helps greatly with gauging distances.
And the other part of that question, the lowest setting on my speed dial is 275, but my scope turns way past that. Is it supposed to do that? Just wondering...
but I thought it was kind of odd that scope dials down to almost 1x, it's nowhere near 2.5x. But for my shooting preference it actually works in my favor. I seem to be the odd man out but I don't want or see a need for a a whole bunch of magnification to shoot 40, maybe 45 yards tops. Target shooting is one thing, but when I'm hunting, the less variables I have to contend with the better off I am.
