Rifle Scope Information
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnifying the target by employing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to account for varied ecological elements like wind and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern rifle optics have around 11 parts which are located inside and externally on the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
About Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding upon the best type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scope Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture without space used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Details on Scope Zoom
The quantity of magnification a scope offers is determined by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info About Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change since it is fixed.
About Variable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will list the zoom degree in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally incorporates the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is achieved by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power and Range
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they can be efficiently used. Consider that higher magnification scopes and optics will not be as effective as lower magnification level scopes because increased magnification can be a bad thing. The same goes for longer distances where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
About Glass Lens Finishes
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of glass finishings. Lens finishing can be an essential aspect of a rifle when considering luxury rifle optics and scope equipment. The lenses are one of the most significant parts of the glass because 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 area and even assists with anti glare from refracted sunlight and color perception.
ED Versus HD Glass
Some scope manufacturers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different techniques, components, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Rifle Scope Lens Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have different finishes applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a finish placed on it so that it will be efficiently usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while minimizing 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 on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coverings
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing.
Alternatives for Mounting Scopes on Firearms
Mounting solutions for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also usually are made in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scopes.
Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, 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 a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope install is fine for rifles which require a resilient, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles.
Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your costly optic by causing fogging and developing residue inside of the scope’s tube. The majority of scopes prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these water resistant scopes can be immersed within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of humidity prevention for standard use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle sailing and are concerned about the optic still functioning if it goes overboard and you can still find the gun.
What to Know About Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by temperature shifts and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which may potentially allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
