1200 yards
I’d, probably, want to use that thing for planet watching and star gazing!
The answer is, ‘as far as you can see’. Realistically, the benefit is being able to see more of the target and exactly where your bullets are hitting at normal shooting distances. 40X magnification is going to make the target appear to be very close at, even, 200 yards.
What’s going to shrink way down, though, is the useable field-of-view. (Not a good choice for rapidly moving game at normal shooting distances. )
You’re talking about a rifle scope that would be best used, ‘out West’ or in some place like Afghanistan. With that large an objective lens you should be able to, literally, see in every light condition except total darkness.
Generally scopes don’t project laser beams to aim. They just passively receive light from outside sources. A scope set on 10x probably isn’t going to focus on anything close, but there’s no limit on the other end. I think you’re confusing optics with ballistics.
Johnny, the Dr. is right on! However you should understand that the scope itself doesn’t determine the shooting accuracy. You must understand the “trajectory” (path) of the bullet. For instance, if you sight in your rifle at 25 yards, the bullet will cross the direct line of sight at 25 yards and again at 100yards. So the distance at which your rifle is accurate depends on how it is sighted in.
The scope aim is endless, the problem is how far the bullets and gun your mounting it on shoot. On a 30/30 beyond 200 yards is a wast, 30/06 better choice but still the scope will reach out well beyond the sound shooting rang of the bullet and gun, 7mm Mag or 300 Win Mag even a better choice still the scope will out reach the Gun’s and bullets rang. So you will be seeing far beyond what you can shoot. Also a high magnification scope will pick up your hart beat making it hard to hold point of aim. Go to less scope like a 3×9 and you will be better off in the long run.
It depends. On high magnification if it is a cheap scope, you may not be able to see 300 yds. A decent 10x will get you to about 600 yds on a deer size target. Figure maybe about twice that far at 40x unless it is a multi-thousand dollar scope.
It’s not so much the scope, or even the rifle, . . . . but the shooter.
Good luck effectively using a scope like that on the highest magnification setting. Even from sandbags on a bench, your breathing is going to make the cross hairs seem like they are dancing all over the place.
On my variable power scopes, like a 4-12x, I normally set the magnification at about 6x for shooting at 100 yards.
I’ve seen plenty of highpower rifle shooter hitting their intended targets out to 1,000 yards using the open military sights on their M1 Garand rifles.
