Rifle Scope Product Details
Vector Optics Marksman 6-24x50mm, 1/10 MIL, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP) Hunting Riflescope
First Focus Plane(FFP): FFP scopes place the reticle in front of the erector. They are more specifically designed for tactical shooters and hunters where the distance to target changes and is often unknown. With an FFP reticle, the size of the reticle will appear to change as the scopes magnification is changed. And it helps with calculating bullet drop and wind calls.

What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They do this through magnifying the target using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to account for varied environmental elements like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are viewing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are located inside and outside of the optic. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
About Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Considering the finest type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These types of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are small
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture without area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Scope Zoom
The level of scope magnification you need depends on the kind of shooting you like to do. Practically every kind of rifle glass offers some amount of zoom. The volume of magnification a scope supplies is established by the diameter, density, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle optic. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This denotes what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not change since it is set from the factory.
About Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification increments. These types of scopes will note the magnification degree in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the zoom of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally utilizes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is achieved by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Rifle Scope Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Consider that higher power optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level glass because excessive magnification can be a detractor. The exact same concept goes for longer distances where the shooter needs increased power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
Scope Lens Covering
All current rifle glass lenses are coated. Lens finishing is a crucial element of a rifle system when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Scopes
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different techniques, components, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Info on Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be optimally functional in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Finishing
Water on a lens does not assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish which is water repellent.
Optic Installing Alternatives
Installing options for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally come in quick release variations which use toss levers which enable rifle operators to quickly install and dismount the scope.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Basic, clamp-on design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use double independent rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for long distance accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is effective for rifle systems which need a long lasting, rock solid mount which will not shift despite how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should get for a faithful optics system on a long distance scouting or sniper competition firearm which will rarely need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used to keep the hex screws from backing out after they are installed tightly in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics company. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Rifle Optic Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and remove a scope from a rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect firmly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping precision. These types of mounts are useful and convenient for rifles which are moved around a lot, to take off the glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are adopted between multiple rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It normally costs around $250 USD
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can spoil a day on the range and your costly optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope’s tube. Many scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these water resistant optics can be submerged under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample humidity prevention for conventional use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle on a boat and are concerned about the scope still functioning if it goes overboard and you can still find the firearm.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less impacted by condition changes and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which might potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
