Realistically most people don't shoot beyond 200m and even fewer are doing it on a gun that has a 1x purpose. A 3-9x scope for dedicated long(er) range gun, and then 1-4x type optics for other guns makes sense.
But some people are outliers or just want the options I suppose.
Indeed. A friend is adamant I put irons back on alongside the 1-6. Frankly, even at 6x I can still shoot at 25m. Anything under that and I can hit from the hip, so I don't see the point. I would like to play around on the 600m range, but that's going to be a different setup, rather than expecting everything from one kit.
