POSP 6x42. Sniper Rifle Scope for SVD Side Rail. 1000m SVD Reticle. Grey Harmed

A 6x42 scope refers to a type of rifle scope that has a fixed magnification of 6 times and an objective lens with a diameter of 42mm. The magnification of the scope means that the target will appear six times closer than it would to the naked eye. The larger objective lens allows for more light to enter the scope, providing a brighter image and a wider field of view.

This type of scope is often used for mid-range shooting, such as hunting, target shooting, or tactical applications, where the shooter needs to engage targets at distances of up to a few hundred yards. The 6x magnification allows for greater precision and accuracy than a lower magnification scope, while the 42mm objective lens provides a balance of light gathering ability and ease of use.

Fixed magnification scopes like the 6x42 are generally more rugged and reliable than variable magnification scopes, as they have fewer moving parts and are less prone to damage or misalignment.
