red_stag88 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 6 - 24 is the magnification 42 is the diamiter of the objective lense (mm) Mildot is the recticle px is parralax also known as AO (ajustable objective) Most people dont go much about 10x for an airgun, I have mine set at 6x Is your gun a springer? If so make sure the scope is airgun rated! 60yds is a long way for an airgun, espshally for a .22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baikiel boy Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 HI red , Is 6 original size 24 what its fetched up to. Mildot , the dots on x hairs px adjust clarity (as on binos) Whats set at 6x. Gun's a stealth .22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 6x is the lowest mag, yes and yes. A .22 has a lot of drop at 60yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
