3-12x32

The “3-12×32” optics configuration typically refers to a rifle scope. It has a variable magnification ranging from 3 times to 12 times and a 32mm objective lens diameter. This configuration is designed to provide a compact and also versatile solution for a variety 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 (3x), the scope provides a broader field of view. It aids in target acquisition and situational awareness, especially in close-quarters or dynamic situations. As the magnification is increased to 12x, shooters can achieve more detailed visibility for precision aiming at moderate distances.

The 32mm objective lens diameter, while smaller than some scopes, contributes to a more compact and lightweight design. This can be advantageous for users who prioritize portability as well as maneuverability in their shooting setup.

Scopes with a 3-12×32 configuration are often chosen for applications like rimfire shooting, airgun shooting, or scenarios where a more compact scope is desired. The balance between magnification range and the size of the objective lens makes these scopes versatile for situations where a lightweight and streamlined design are important.

When considering a scope with these specifications, users should also take into account different factors. These factors can include the scope’s weight, size, and mounting requirements. The 3-12×32 configuration provides a compact and flexible optical solution for shooters engaged in diverse shooting activities.
