What You Need to Know About Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through zoom by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account many environmental factors like wind and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are viewing with the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most modern-day rifle optics have about eleven parts which are arranged within and externally on the optic. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of optics.
About Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The form of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies in regard to the optic’s magnification. It actually implies the reticle is located behind or before the magnifying lens of the scope. Considering the most desired kind of rifle optic is based upon what style of hunting or shooting you intend on doing.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane glass (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to stay at the same size in relation to the quantity of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements shift based upon the magnification chosen to shoot over longer distances due to the fact that the reticle markings represent different increments which change with the magnification 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. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Magnification for Glass
The amount of magnification a scope supplies is determined 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.
Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not fluctuate since it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Optic Facts
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power adjustment is handled by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Scope Power and Ranges
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Highly magnified optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level glass given that too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The exact same idea goes for extended distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Rifle Optic Lens Covering
All top teir rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. Lens finishing is an important element of a rifle’s setup when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some rifle scope producers even use “HD” or high-def lense coverings which use different processes, polarizations, rare earth compounds, and components to extract numerous color ranges and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-definition coating is normally used with increased density glass which decreases light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible over items with defined shapes as light hits the item from various angles.
Rifle Optic Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have various coverings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them prior to 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 is part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be optimally usable in many types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope manufacturer and just how much you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
What to Know About Hydrophobic Covering
Water on a lens doesn’t improve maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the surface of the Steiner scope lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also usually come in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly mount and remove the scope.
Hex Key Rifle Glass 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 two different 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 mount is excellent for rifles which require a long lasting, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for long guns which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Info Around Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Optic Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less altered by climate alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which may potentially enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
