shooting out to 600 yards? I usually shoot paper targets at 100 yards but hopefully the local range will open the 600 yard range soon. How much power would be good for shooting at that distance? Would a 2-10x or 3-15x scope be enough?

In the 1980s there was only a 4x. Most, but not all, of the military contracts are 4X. Now they’re 1.5-6x. I have one 3.5x acquired in the late ‘90s that needs the tritium recharged.Last I remember acogs typically come in 4x.
Thanks! I've been more into shooting small groups so far at short distances using Vortex GE scopes with bolt guns and thought I might branch out into shooting bigger targets at a longer distance if the range would finally open the 600 yard range.to me its all about what you like and want some people are happy shooting at 16x's others like to see more details . to me it all depends on what you want and are willing to pay for me I liked paying 1/2 the price of my scopes my friends bought and I got double the usable mag . Good luck to you sir and may what ever you get work the way you want it to .
Thanks!! That's very helpful.This might help you for reference-

Mine is scoped with a Nikon P.223 and I can also shoot iron sights/old school. I've shot many out to 300 yards with it with no problem. I'd love to find a place to try further.Thanks again for all the great info. I have a spare 6-24x AMG that I'll stick on there for now and see how that works.
My Mossberg MVP LR in 5.56 is currently wearing a VISM 30mm tubed 2.5-10x. My AR has a VisionKing 1.5-5x with 30mm tube. Not fancy or expensive, but no issues so far.shooting out to 600 yards?

They got all sorts of flavors these days 3x 4x 5.5x 6x.Last I remember acogs typically come in 4x.
Military generally considers 1x per 100 yds about right. But, most of those users have young eyes. My really old store bought eyes generally prefer having the option of 2x per 100 yds.

I have a 3.x15 x50 NXS nightforce scope on one rifle and a Tract 4x20 x 50, the tract is a far superior scope in my opinion i also use the Tract out to a mile on a .308.shooting out to 600 yards?

I'll take the NF and skip shootting a mile with the .308I have a 3.x15 x50 NXS nightforce scope on one rifle and a Tract 4x20 x 50, the tract is a far superior scope in my opinion i also use the Tract out to a mile on a .308.
