RHutch,
Are you that dense?
I would venture he meant a 1-6x?.....
You can venture all you want. Words and symbols mean things. If one wants to communicate, one should learn to communicate so that everyone knows what's being said. If he posted I want a 6X24 does he mean a 6X with a 24mm objective? It sure would look that way to me.
Did your parents have any kids that lived
Symbols do mean something.
But anyone with a 3rd grade education knows when you're talking rifle scopes the first 2 numbers are always the magnification range.
