Fixed power rifle scopes are becoming rare these days since the majority of manufacturers moved forward and started producing riflescopes with variable magnification.
Nevertheless, fixed power rifle scopes still have some distinct advantages.
A small number of lenses in fixed riflescopes
Due to the small number of lenses used in fixed power rifle scopes construction, this riflescope tends to be brighter than its variable magnification counterparts are. Normally, such a comparison is only valid if both riflescopes have glass and coating of the same quality.
Easy to use
The second advantage is that fixed power rifle scopes are easy to use. There is no magnification setting, no parallax adjustment, or any other distractions before taking the shot. Just aim and shoot.
The disadvantage of Fixed power scopes
For some users, these two reasons are more important than the lack of field of view compared to variable power riflescopes.
