2-12x50

The “2-12×50” optics configuration typically refers to a rifle scope. It has a variable magnification ranging from 2 times to 12 times and a 50mm objective lens diameter. This configuration is designed to provide shooters with a versatile optical solution suitable for a wide range of shooting scenarios.

The variable magnification allows users to adapt to different distances and also target sizes. At the lower end of the magnification range (2x), the scope offers a wider field of view. It facilitates target acquisition as well as situational awareness in close-quarters or dynamic situations. As the magnification is increased to 12x, shooters can achieve more detailed visibility for precision aiming at longer distances.

The 50mm objective lens diameter is significant for light-gathering capability. This allows the scope to perform well in various lighting conditions. It can even perform well in low-light situations such as dawn or dusk. The larger objective lens diameter contributes to a bright as well as clear sight picture.

Scopes with a 2-12×50 configuration are often chosen for applications like hunting, long-range shooting, or tactical scenarios. The balance between magnification range and the size of the objective lens makes these scopes versatile for scenarios where adaptability and moderate light gathering are essential.

When considering a scope with these specifications, users should also take into account factors such as the scope’s weight, size, and mounting requirements. The 2-12×50 configuration provides a flexible and capable optical solution for shooters engaged in a variety of shooting activities.
