2.5-8x36

The “2.5-8×36” optics configuration typically refers to a rifle scope. It has a variable magnification ranging from 2.5 times to 8 times and a 36mm objective lens diameter. This configuration is often chosen for rifles used in various shooting scenarios. This provides a balance between a wider field of view at lower magnifications and enhanced detail at higher magnifications.

The variable magnification allows shooters to adapt to different distances and target sizes. At the lower end of the magnification range (2.5x), the scope offers a wider field of view. This feature makes it easier to acquire and track targets. As the magnification is increased to 8x, shooters gain more detailed visibility for precision aiming at greater distances.

The 36mm objective lens diameter contributes to light-gathering capability. While not as large as some scopes, the 36mm size still allows for effective light transmission. This is particularly important during low-light conditions such as dawn or dusk.

Scopes with a 2.5-8×36 configuration are versatile and can be suitable for a range of shooting applications, including hunting, target shooting, and tactical scenarios. The compact and relatively lightweight design of the scope makes it well-suited for rifles where keeping a balance between size and performance is essential.

In summary, a 2.5-8×36 rifle scope provides shooters with a flexible tool capable of addressing various shooting scenarios. Its variable magnification as well as its moderate objective lens diameter strike a balance between a wider field of view and detailed visibility, making it a practical choice for versatile use.
