Hi-Lux Optics Red-Dot Series 1×25 Riflescope with Rings, Matte Black
Product Description
There are hunting and shooting situations when open sights or a scope may not be the best choice. For those special purpose applications, the H-Lux Optics Red-Dot Series electronic sights could be the answer to your shooting or hunting needs. Hand gunners are discovering how much easier it is to simply place the illuminated dot of these sights on their target rather than attempting to align the front sight in the rear sigh notch and holding the sight picture as the trigger is squeezed. Turkey hunters appreciate being able to track the approach of an old gobbler without worrying about whether or not the front bead of the shotgun is high or low. And muzzle loading hunters in those states where telescopic sights are not allowed during the special muzzleloader seasons are now turning to non-magnifying Red-Dot sights for a more positive aiming point. Hi-Lux Optics Red-Dot Series sights are extremely compact and lightweight. The brightness of the dot can be easily adjusted for easier sighting in either bright or low-light conditions. These sights are fully shockproof and waterproof. Both the ES1X25 and the ES1X30 come with rings; while the ES1X30TP and the ES1X50TP come with integral mounts, ribbed rubber edge guards and flip-up lens covers.

What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through magnification by making use of a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for consideration of various environmental aspects like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many modern rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are found within and externally on the scope body. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
Rifle Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding upon the best type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scope Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Rifle Optic Zoom
The amount of zoom a scope provides is figured out 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.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not adjust considering that it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will note the magnification degree in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the zoom of the scope could be changed between 2x and 10x power. This additionally involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is accomplished by making use of the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Consider that high power scopes and optics will not be as efficient as lower powered optics since excessive magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The exact same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
About Rifle Scope Lens Finishes
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are layered. There are various types and qualities of glass coverings. When looking at high end rifle optical devices, Lens finish can be a crucial component of defining the capability of the rifle. The lenses are one of the most crucial parts of the glass as they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses shields the lens exterior and assists with anti glare capabilities from excess direct sunlight and color exposure.
HD Versus ED Optic Lens Coatings
Some optic producers additionally use “HD” or high-def glass finishes that take advantage of various procedures, polarizations, rare earth compounds, and elements to enhance different colors and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-def covering is normally used with increased density glass which lowers light’s ability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope suppliers use “HD” to describe “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable over objects with defined shapes as light hits the item from particular angles.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various coverings used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated 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 advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope designer and the amount you spent for it. Both the make and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can establish that a manufacturer is taking numerous actions to fight various environmental factors like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally doesn’t always mean the multi-coated lens is much better than a single covered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of components used in developing the rifle scope.
About Anti-water Covering
Water on a lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope whatsoever. Lots of top of the line or premium optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the surface of the Steiner glass lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads slide off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Mounting Optics on Long Guns
Installing solutions for scopes come in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scope.
Scope Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is excellent for rifles which require a durable, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
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 comparable design mount, several scopes can often be switched out in the field. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten tightly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving precision. These kinds of mounts are useful and convenient for rifles which are shipped a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are adopted in between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
About Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
About Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less impacted by temperature level shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which may potentially allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
