What do the 2 knobs on a scope do?

What do the knobs on sniper scopes do?

These knobs are used to sight in or “zero” your scope. The knob on the top is the elevation adjustment and the one on the side affects your windage. These knobs are in most cases actually covers on the adjustment mechanism and can be removed by simply unscrewing them.

Is a 4×32 scope any good?

The Prime 1-4×32 is an excellent example of quality for the money. Yes, it’s super cheap, but it will be more than adequate for many hunters and shooters. If you’re shooting close ranges or want something with a little more flexibility than a fixed 4x scope, the 1-4×32 is the ideal choice for the many tasks ahead.

Does scope tube size matter?

What is a 4×32 scope used for?

If you are going to be carrying your rifle around a lot, shooting while standing or on the move at targets from 10 yards to 300 – the fixed power 4×32 will be a good choice.

What magnification is 4×32?

Are 30mm and 1 inch rifle scopes interchangeable? No, they are not. But it is possible to mount a 1 inch scope in 30mm rings using spacers that decrease the inside inner diameter of the rings. It is not possible to mount a 30mm scope in a set of 1 inch rings.

What size rings for a 1 scope?

The scope rings have to match the tube diameter of the scope. So a 1-inch scope needs 1-inch scope rings and a 30mm scope needs 30mm rings.
