When searching for a rifle scope, there are three former considerations. Probably the most prominent observation is the type of gun a man owns. For instance, you would not put a powerful, costly scope on an air rifle, or a 22 rifle for that matter. In fact, a good rule of thumb is to spend about half as much for your scope as you spend for your rifle. The second observation is the type of shooting you are planning on doing. If you are a hunter going after white tail deer you might use one type of rifle scope where as a hunter finding for mountain goat would use an additional one type. The final observation is your personal preference. Do you prefer a fixed or changeable rifle scope?
The fixed rifle scope maintains a constant setting of magnification. As a corollary you need to know the magnification for the length you plan on shooting. Magnification is expressed in terms of power. Power being the factor you is visually reducing the length between you and the target. To explain this, if the magnification is 5x, a target 100 yards away will appear only 20 yards away. If the power is 10x, that same target will appear only 10 yards away.

There are some advantages to using a fixed rifle scope and one great disadvantage. Most important, they are less costly than changeable scopes with the same power. Also, fixed power maintains a constant setting causing less eye strain. Since the power does not change, the point of impact, which is what you see through the scope and where the shot hits are the same. The major drawback is that you are stuck with one magnification for all your shooting.
Variable rifle scopes have varied degrees of magnification. The most popular changeable scope is a 3x-9x. This is the rifle scope that most white tail deer hunters choose. The 3x means a target would appear three times larger than when seen with the naked eye. The 9x means the target would appear nines times larger. The shooter can make adjustments everywhere between the 3x and the 9x, thus the target can be viewed at varied sizes... This is true with any changeable scope. The 3x-9x rifle scope can prove deadly for up to 500 yards.
For longer shots, such as hunting for mule deer or mountain goats, you need a higher magnification up to a 12x or 14x. Caution, these high power scopes should only be used by very experienced and exact shooters. The infer being, the slightest movement by the shooter will cause the point of impact to be off. Some competitive target shooters will use a 24x, 36x or even a 40x during competition. These are the best of the best when it comes to shooting.
When it comes to hunting, almost all hunters prefer a changeable rifle scope because it makes it easier to hunt game at varied distances. Most will concur, however, that if you can not afford a higher capability changeable scope, stay away from cheap ones. There magnification will nott adjust well, nor will they hold the point of impact. A fixed scope at the same price will be more dependable and accurate. Whichever rifle scope you prefer, I just want to add one last thing. Good luck and good hunting.
