ZEISS Riflescope School

Magnification The most basic characteristic of a given scope, magnification is simply a measure of how many times better you can see an object than with your naked eye. It's typically the first number you see in a scope's name. ZEISS also offers a line of variable power scopes, which allow a range of magnification for different hunting situations. In these scopes, the first two numbers, separated by a hyphen, indicate the range of magnification. On all ZEISS variable power scopes, the two designating numbers are listed from lowest to highest in magnification.
