Vector Optics Veyron 3-12×44 First Focal Plane (FFP) Ultra Short Riflescope, 30mm Tube, 1/10 MIL Per Click Adjustment, Turret Lock System, Free Mount Rings, Lens Caps, Honeycomb Sunshade
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 scope’s magnification is changed. And it helps with calculating bullet drop and wind calls.

All About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target by employing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted for the consideration of numerous ecological elements like wind speed and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many contemporary rifle optics have around 11 parts which are located inside and outside of the optic. 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 a rifle scope.
About Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Opting for the optimal type of rifle glass depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Glass
First focal plane glass (FFP) feature the reticle before the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the extent of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non magnified distance. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at 100 yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture without room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Scope Magnification
The quantity of zoom a scope provides is determined by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info on Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic 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 type of optic can not adjust since it is a set power scope.
Info on Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the zoom degree in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers imply 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 shift is accomplished by employing the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power and Range of Scopes
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they may be successfully used. Consider that high magnification scopes and optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level scope and optics since excessive magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The very same idea applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finishing for Scopes
All current rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. Lens covering can be an essential element of a rifle’s setup when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Rifle Glass
Some optic companies also use “HD” or high-definition lense coatings which make the most of different processes, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to extract different colors and viewable target visibility through the lens. This high-definition covering is frequently used with more costly high density glass which reduces light’s potential to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles 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 noticeable around items with hard outlines as light hits the object from specific angles.
Details on Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Various scope lenses can even have various finishings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some kind of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a covering applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently functional in lots of kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coating
Water on a lens does not assist with preserving 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 which is water repellent.
Rifle Glass Mounting Options
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also usually are made in quick release variations which use manual levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scope.
Hex Key Scope Rings
Normal, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is excellent for rifles which need a long lasting, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Ring Mounts
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and take off a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach solidly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while preserving accuracy. These kinds of mounts come in convenient for rifles which are carried a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are chosen for use in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
About Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Glass Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less affected by condition alterations and pressure differences from the external environment which may potentially enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
