Rifle Scope Product Details
Vector Optics Marksman 4-16x44mm, 1/10 MIL, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP) Hunting Riflescope
First Focus Plane(FFP): FFP scopes place the reticle in front of the erector. They are more specifically designed for tactical shooters and hunters where the distance to target changes and is often unknown. With an FFP reticle, the size of the reticle will appear to change as the scopes magnification is changed. And it helps with calculating bullet drop and wind calls.

Scope Facts
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by making use of a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for the consideration of separate natural considerations like wind and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing via the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern-day rifle optics have about eleven parts which are located within and outside of the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
Rifle Scope Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The kind of focal plane an optic has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the scopes magnifying adjustments. It simply implies the reticle is situated behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the scope. Deciding upon the most ideal form of rifle scope depends on what type of shooting or hunting you anticipate doing.
First Focal Plane Optic Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are minor
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” plus “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the very same scale in connection with the amount of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle dimensions alter based on the magnification chosen to shoot over lengthier distances because the reticle measurements represent various increments which can vary with the zoom level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These sorts of glass are beneficial for:
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture with less room used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Rifle Optic Magnification
The level of scope magnification you need on your optic depends upon the form of shooting you wish to do. Pretty much every kind of rifle optic gives some level of magnification. The amount of magnification a scope provides is established by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This denotes what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Glass Facts
A single power rifle scope comes with 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 change given that it is set from the factory.
About Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power change is performed by the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some recommended scope powers and the distances where they may be effectively used. Highly magnified scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification level rifle scope glass considering that too much magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same idea goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs adequate power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finishing for Optics
All modern rifle scope lenses are layered. There are different types and qualities of glass finishes. When shopping for high end rifle optics and scope units, Lens coating can be a crucial component of a rifle. The glass lenses are among the most crucial parts of the optic given that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finishing on the lenses shields the lens surface and even helps with anti glare from excess sunlight and color exposure.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope companies will also use “HD” or high-def lens finishes that take advantage of various procedures, aspects, chemical substances, and polarizations to draw out different colors and viewable definition through lenses. This high-def coating is frequently used with higher density glass which brings down light’s potential to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how 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 noticeable over things with defined shapes as light hits the object from certain angles.
Rifle Optic Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in many types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This indicates the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can show that a manufacturer is taking several steps to combat different environmental factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not always mean the multi-coated lens is much better than a single covered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle optic.
Rifle Optic Lens Hydrophobic Coating
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Glass on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle operators to quickly install and dismount the scope.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Ring Mounts
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which require a resilient, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between several rifles.
About Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle glass can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and making residue inside of the scope’s tube. Most scopes protect against moisture from entering the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these water-resistant scopes can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough moisture content avoidance for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle boating and are concerned about the optic still performing if it goes over the side and you can still find the firearm.
Gas Purged Rifle Optic Tubes
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less altered by condition changes and pressure distinctions from the external environment which may potentially 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 look for.
