EBR-7B MRAD Reticle
The EBR-7B (Enhanced Battle Reticle) is a hashmarked ranging reticle using mrad based subtension lines for ranging, holdover, and windage corrections.
First focal plane (FFP) reticles are located within the riflescope near the windage and elevation turrets in front of the image-erecting and magnifying lenses. This style of reticle will visually grow and shrink as you change the magnification. The advantage of an FFP reticle is that the reticle subtensions used for ranging, holdovers, and wind drift corrections are consistent at all magnifications. Usually, the reticle will appear heavier at higher magnifications and finer at lower magnifications.
Illuminated reticle provides precise aiming under low-light conditions.

Rifle Glass Information
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through zoom by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for consideration of separate ecological considerations like wind speed and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing using the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many modern rifle optics have about 11 parts which are arranged internally and outside of the optic. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Finding the finest type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to stay at the exact same scale in connection with the level of magnification being used. The end result is that the reticle measurements alter based upon the zoom chosen to shoot over longer ranges because the reticle markings present different increments which vary with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular sorts of glass work for:
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who like a clearer optic picture without area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Zoom for Optics
The quantity of magnification a scope offers is figured out by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info About Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change because it is a fixed power scope.
About Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will list the zoom degree in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope could be changed between 2x and 10x power. This always involves the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is achieved using the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the ranges where they may be effectively used. Bear in mind that high magnification glass will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics since excessive magnification can be a detractor. The same goes for longer distances where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Scope Lens Coating
All state-of-the-art rifle glass lenses are covered. Lens finish is a vital aspect of a rifle’s setup when looking at high end rifle optics and scope setups.
ED Versus HD Optics
Some scope brands likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various methods, elements, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Details on Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various finishes used to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Finish
Water on an optical lens doesn’t assist with retaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It deals with the exterior of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The result is that the water beads slide off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Mounting Rifle Optics on Long Guns
Mounting options for scopes can be found in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is excellent for rifles which need a resilient, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Glass Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly take off a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between numerous rifles.
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Glass Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less altered by temp alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which could possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
