I am new to scopes, but like the scout scope concept of shooting with both eyes open. My only reason for interest in a scope is aging eyes. I have just never liked scopes and have had little exposure to them.
I see that most scout scopes range from 1x to 2.5x in power. If I understand correctly, 1x is no magnification. Is that correct?
Is a fixed power 2.5x (think Leupold) too powerful to use with both eyes open? What about its suitability for extremely close range (think short range self-defense).
I plan to put a scout set up on a .22 for fun, then move it to a, yet to be purchased, centerfire of some sort for deer hunting. My longest shot would be 150 yards. Most shots would be in the 50 to 100 yard range.
Thanks for any input.
