Rifle Scope Product Details
Vector Optics Continental 1-6x28mm, 1/10 MIL, 34mm Tube, Red Illuminated Reticle, First Focal Plane (FFP) 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 scope’s magnification is changed. And it helps with calculating bullet drop and wind calls.

Rifle Optic Info
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to take into account separate environmental aspects like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are arranged inside and outside of the scope body. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets, focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
Rifle Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Going for the perfect type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane optics (FFP) include the reticle ahead of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non amplified range. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same size in relation to the volume of magnification being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements adapt based upon the magnification used to shoot over greater distances due to the fact that the reticle markings represent different increments which vary with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These particular sorts of glass work for:
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less area taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Scope Magnification
The extent of scope magnification you need depends upon the style of shooting you want to do. Practically every style of rifle optic gives some amount of magnification. The quantity of zoom a scope supplies is established by the size, density, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This signifies what the shooter is looking at through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle scope and optic uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not change since it is a set power scope.
Info About Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is performed by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Optic Power Level and Ranges
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the distances where they can be successfully used. Always remember that higher power scopes and optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level optics due to the fact that too much magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same concept applies to longer distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Scope Lens Coating
All contemporary rifle optic lenses are covered. Lens coating can be a crucial aspect of a rifle system when looking at high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Rifle Scope Lens Coatings
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use different procedures, aspects, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Rifle Optic Lens Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have various coatings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It must have a coating placed on it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in lots of kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard 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 layered lens depends upon the scope producer and how much you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives several treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking numerous actions to combat different natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally does not always mean the multi-coated lens is much better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” hinges on the manufacturer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of glass used in developing the rifle glass.
Scope Lens Hydrophobic Finishing
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t support retaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and premium scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It treats the exterior surfaces of the Steiner scope lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads slide off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Optic Mounting Options
Mounting solutions for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use manual levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly mount and remove the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope install is excellent for rifles which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Optic Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another part of preventing the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less influenced by temp shifts and pressure variations from the outside environment which could potentially enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
