Magnification Adjustment
The Firefield 1-6×24 Riflescope comes equipped with variable magnification options. By rotating the magnification ring to the desired setting, shooters can find a magnification that is appropriate for their shooting scenario. Note: Do not loosen the screw located on the magnification ring, doing so will cause problems with the variable magnification function.
Mil-Dot Reticle
The Firefield 1-6×24 Riflescope uses a mil reticle. Mil stands for millradian. A millradian is 1/6283.2th of a circle or 3.438 MOA. The millradian represents one unit at 1000 yards. To simplify, a target that is one yard tall at 1000 yards would measure 1 milradian.
Windage and Elevation Adjustment
The windage and elevation adjustments are 1/2 MOA, meaning that 1 click moves the point of impact 1/2 inch at 100 yards. Adjustments can be both felt and heard allowing the shooter to make adjustments without looking at the dials.

What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through magnification by using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to take into account separate environmental considerations like wind speed and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. The majority of contemporary rifle optics have about 11 parts which are found within and outside of the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets or dials, focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The kind of focal plane an optic has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies in relation to the optic’s magnifying adjustments. It literally indicates the reticle is behind or before the magnifying lens of the optic. Considering the most desired sort of rifle optic is based on what variety of shooting or hunting you intend on doing.
About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the extent of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at 100 yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are minor
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Details
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to remain at the same dimensions relative to the quantity of zoom being used. The effect is that the reticle dimensions shift based upon the magnification chosen to shoot over lengthier ranges because the reticle measurements present different increments which can vary with the magnification. In the FFP illustration 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 varieties of scopes work for:
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots take place within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture without space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Glass
The amount of magnification a scope provides is identified by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Rifle Scope Facts
A single power rifle scope comes with 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 magnification of this kind of optic can not fluctuate because it is fixed.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified levels. The power modification is achieved by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range Correlations
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the distances where they can be effectively used. Keep in mind that high magnification scopes and optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level scopes due to the fact that increased magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same concept applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Lens Coating
All modern-day rifle scope and optic lenses are covered. Lens finishing can be an essential aspect of a shooting platform when buying high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Rifle Scopes
Some scope producers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different methods, polarizations, chemicals, and elements 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.
Rifle Glass Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have various finishings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has had several treatments applied to them. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can establish that a manufacturer is taking numerous steps to fight various natural factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This additionally does not always indicate the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single coated lens. Being “better” hinges on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in developing the rifle optic.
Glass Lens Anti-water Coating
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating.
Rifle Optic Mounting Options
Installing approaches for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also normally are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly install and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Standard, clamp type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These forms of scope mounts use two individual rings to support the scope, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for long distance accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is ideal for rifle systems which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not move despite just how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a specialized scope setup on a reach out and touch someone hunting or interdiction long gun that will seldom need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the scope mount screws to stop the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted safely in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and take off a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, multiple scopes can also be swapped out. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach securely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts come in beneficial for shooting platforms which are moved a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are adopted in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics brand. It generally costs around $250 USD
What to Know About Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about 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.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another component of avoiding the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by climate changes and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which could potentially enable water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
