“Locking Turret Feature – To provide the shooter with the confidence that the elevation turret cannot be moved even in the roughest of conditions
Simply lift the high profile elevation turret up to disengage the lock. Turn the elevation knob in the desired direction. Push turret back down to return to the locked position.
“Zero Stop provides the shooter with the assurance that he will not go past his zero.
After sighting in your rifle, simply insert the Turret Kit and set the zero stop module in place.
Once assembled, you now have a positive repeatable stopping point at your chosen zero point. Then, no matter how many elevation adjustments you make, turning the elevation knob down to the zero stop setting returns you to your original zero.
No counting clicks or need for visual reference. In poor or low-lighting conditions,you can return to your original zero stop simply by feel.
“The windage and elevation turrets can be turned without tools and have .25-MOA click-adjustments, 20 MOA of adjustment per revolution and a 50-MOA range. ”

Info Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by employing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for consideration of separate natural aspects like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing using the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are arranged within and externally on the optic. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a scope.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Finding the optimal type of rifle scope depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are very little
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” plus “lead” ratios for their rifles
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who select a clearer optic sight picture without room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Details on Scope Magnification
The quantity of scope magnification you need on your glass depends upon the type of shooting you plan to do. Virtually every style of rifle scope gives some degree of zoom. The quantity of magnification a scope provides is identified by the size, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This denotes what the shooter is checking out through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Rifle Optic Info
A single power rifle scope or optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not change given that it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the zoom degree in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope could be set between 2x and 10x power. This also utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is achieved by employing the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they could be efficiently used. High power glass will not be as beneficial as lower powered rifle scope glass since too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The very same idea applies to longer distances where the shooter needs adequate power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
Lens Finish for Optics
All modern rifle optic and scope lenses are layered. Lens coating is an important aspect of a rifle system when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some glass makers also use “HD” or high-definition glass coverings which take advantage of various procedures, chemicals, components, and polarizations to enhance various color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-definition finishing is typically used with increased density glass which decreases light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious around things with well defined outlines as light hits the item from various angles.
Single Scope Lens Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering 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 producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can establish that a manufacturer is taking numerous actions to fight different natural factors like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” hinges on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of glass used in creating the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coverings
Water on a scope’s lens does not improve maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Many top of the line or high-end scope producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It deals with the exterior surfaces of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Installing Rifle Optics on Firearms
Installing options for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically are made in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Scope Rings
Basic, clamp-on type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use two individual rings to support the scope, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for long distance precision shooting. This kind of scope mount is good for rifle systems which are in need of a resilient, unfailing mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you want for a specialized scope system on a far away hunting or interdiction rifle that will rarely need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on screws to prevent the hex screw threads from backing out after they are mounted tightly in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics company. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for long guns which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between multiple rifles.
Details on Rifle Optic 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 creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Info on Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less impacted by temperature changes and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which could possibly enable 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 look for.
