Pay attention, you jackwads - this may be confusing to some of you slow kids, so get a friend to help you with this lesson if you need to.
When referring to a scope it's a "3-9x40", which is pronounced "three to nine by forty". It is not a cotdam 3x9x40, or simply a 3x9. A 3x9 would be a fixed magnification at 3x with an objective of 9mm, about the diameter of a soda straw - probably not good for low-light hunting, BTW. 😉
Another example: a 4-15x50 is a "4 to 15 by 50". And so on, etc.
Just had to get that off my chest. Carry on, maggots!
The one that grinds my gears, and it is more on facebook than here, is someone who has something for sell. They want to sale their car. It is actually very common... how do you use the work opposite from the way it was intended to be used.
