Highest Magnification

what is the highest magnification on a factory made scope? I was sitting in bed this morning and this popped into my head.

42 is the highest I know of for sure. I thought I saw somewhere there was a 60x.

Somewhere in the 40's. Leupold makes a fixed 45x.

March makes some 60x rifle scopes (fixed and variable).

Just think of a 60x! It's hard enough with a 24x sometimes to keep the vibrations to a minimum....

heart beats are for suckers, 60x scopes are not.

Aim small miss small.
