Barska’s Multi-Rail Electro Sight riflescope is specifically designed for tactical shooters that need a versatile scope for both short-distance, quick-acquisition shooting and medium- to long-distance shooting. The scope is equipped with integrated Weaver-style 7/8-inch Picatinny tactical rails, which allow you to customize the scope with additional aiming accessories, such as a laser sight, flashlight, or secondary sight. For example, a laser sight helps you zero in the scope at a short distance (50 yards) and then zero the scope reticle in at a longer distance (100 yards). This allows you to instantly shoot targets at two different distances. Other features include an IR cross dot reticle, adjustable rheostat settings, and a variety of accessories, including a flashlight, red laser sight, scope caps, battery, and lens cloth.

Rifle Optic Facts
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to account for numerous natural elements 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 upon the sight picture you are viewing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most contemporary rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are located within and on the exterior of the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of an optic.
Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding on the finest type of rifle glass is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non magnified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” ratios for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Facts
Second focal plane glass (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the very same overall size in relation to the volume of zoom being used. The effect is that the reticle measurements shift based on the magnification used to shoot over longer distances due to the fact that the reticle measurements present different increments which fluctuate with the magnification level. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular kinds of optics work for:
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture with less space used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Rifle Scope Zoom
The extent of scope magnification you need on your optic depends on the kind of shooting you desire to do. Practically every style of rifle optic supplies some amount of magnification. The volume of zoom a scope provides is identified by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle optic. The zoom of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This suggests what the shooter is observing through the scope is magnified times the power element of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Info About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not adjust given that it is fixed.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the zoom degree in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope could be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is achieved using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Optic Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Keep in mind that high magnification optics will not be as effective as lower powered glass due to the fact that too much zoom can be a detractor. The exact same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Glass Lens Coating
All top of the line rifle scope lenses are coated. Lens finish can be a significant aspect of a rifle’s setup when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope setups.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some rifle scope producers even use “HD” or high-def glass coatings which apply different procedures, polarizations, rare earth compounds, and aspects to enhance a wide range of colors and viewable definition through lenses. This high-def coating is typically used with higher density glass which lowers light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to describe “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often visible around items with hard edges and shapes as light hits the item from particular angles.
What to Know About Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can even have various coatings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some kind of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It needs to have a finishing put on it so that it will be optimally usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing 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 optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends upon the scope designer and how much money you spent for it. Both are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope makers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Details on Hydrophobic Finishing
Water on a scope lens does not support retaining a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Numerous top of the line or premium optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior surfaces of the Steiner optic lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Mounting Optics on Firearms
Installing options for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically come in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle operators to quickly install and remove the optics.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use a pair of independent rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for long distance precision shooting. This form of scope mount is good for rifle systems which need a long lasting, hard use mount which will not shift no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you really want to have for a devoted optics system on a far away hunting or competition long gun that will pretty much never need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used to stop the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted safely in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from Vortex Optics. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Optic Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used in between multiple rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Scope Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Scope Tubes
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by condition shifts and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which might possibly permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
