I have a strike eagle 1-6x24, it’s nice to about 100-200m. I would be curious to see it go to 10, but mine only cost about 180, so that extra magnification is unlikely to be worth almost 4x the cost to me.
Realistically most people don’t shoot beyond 200m and even fewer are doing it on a gun that has a 1x purpose. A 3-9x scope for dedicated long(er) range gun, and then 1-4x type optics for other guns makes sense.
But some people are outliers or just want the options I suppose.
Indeed. A friend is adamant I put irons back on alongside the 1-6. Frankly, even at 6x I can still shoot at 25m. Anything under that and I can hit from the hip, so I don’t see the point. I would like to play around on the 600m range, but that’s going to be a different setup, rather than expecting everything from one kit.
