Um, no - it's -8x



No, 338rules is right. 10 divided by 2 is 5, not 8. The base magnification is 2x and the zoom factor is 5X, which takes the base magnification of 2X to the max of 10X. An 8X zoom would take a 2X to 16X.

I have a hot water heater.
Except for when it was new, the water in it is always hot.
It just makes the, mixed with cool water, hotter.



Some of these will get me,
But then I remember,
Being far from perfect, I make mistakes also.


So you heat hot water again?



The water runs around 140F.
When you run hot water, it's replaced by cool.
But the water mixes somewhat as it runs in, so it's still warm/hot.
The element brings it up to the 140 set point.

So, yeah.
I've got "hot" water, and it makes it hotter.

our boat floats.😉

Corectomundo ! Easily confused though .

The hyphen in the Zoom ratio denotes a range of magnifications :
HiX / LoX = ZoomRatio

Interestingly,

Exit pupil diameter = Objective Lens Diameter / Selected Magnification

So from our example scope 2 - 10 X 50 , the Objective lens diameter is 50 mm, And

at 2X Exit Pupil. = 50 / 2 = 25 mm. ;
at 10 X Exit Pupil = 50 / 10 = 5 mm

Clear as Mud

We were doing Algebra, dude. 2x minus 10x is negative 8x.
You were too busy trying to prove me wrong that you failed to see the Alebra class taking place. Pay attention! 😉

I have two teenage daughters. So our water heater doesn’t do any is that fancy mixing. It just pulls cold water into a completely empty friggin tank and heats it!

With two teenage daughters, I’d invest in an inline on-demand heater on the warm/hot water outlet line of the hot water tank.

Run the tank a little cooler for economy, and charge the girls by the minute of hot water consumption !

Let me know how it works out, I have 2 teen boys . ;-)

Here is an unfortunate truth. Those on this site that attempt to emulate the resident bag of dicks, but don’t even do a very good job of it, are sad and unfortunate people. There are far better examples in life than the ones they are following.

triggernosis: I think the sounds of your own wheels has made you crazy!
In deference to you, or in spite of you, I will continue to express scope descriptions as I have for more than half a century now (as do most knowledgeable gun types I know) thusly = Leupold 6.5x20, 3x9, 2x7, 4x12 etc etc etc!
Sheesh.

I prefer to state the eye piece Diameter, the tube the low power, the number of turrets the high end the the objective.....
My favorite is a 28mm/1"2.5(2)-8X36.

Spite me if you wish, kind sir - but do manufacturers list their scopes as 3x9 or 2x7, etc? Nope, they don't. So you go right ahead with your spiteful ignorance. 😉
