I have a Vortex Strike Eagle on my AR15. I’ve noticed that I am always using it at either 1x or 6x magnification, never in between. I’m just curious if you find the same thing or not. If not, and you use the 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x magnification, when and why do you use it?

I have a Nikon 3-9x40 scope and I tend to do the same thing. Lowest magnification when scanning then highest magnification when the target is identified. About the only time I use an intermediate magnification is when I need a little more detail while scanning.
