Scope Details
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnification by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account various environmental aspects like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing using the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many modern rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are arranged inside and on the exterior of the scope. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
About Rifle Scope Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Picking the optimal type of rifle glass depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Glass Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their firearms
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same dimensions in connection with the quantity of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle measurements shift based on the magnification used to shoot over greater distances considering that the reticle measurements present various increments which differ with the zoom level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular types of glass are handy for:
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture without area taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Glass Magnification
The quantity of scope zoom you require depends upon the type of shooting you wish to do. Practically every type of rifle scope gives some level of magnification. The quantity of zoom a scope provides is identified by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This means what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not adjust considering that it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power adjustment is handled by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Optics
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they could be effectively used. Always remember that high power glass will not be as efficient as lower magnification level glass because too much magnification can be a detractor. The very same idea goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Details on Lens Coatings
All present day rifle scope and optic lenses are coated. Lens finishing is an essential aspect of a rifle system when looking at high end rifle optics and scope setups.
Details on Optic Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some optic manufacturers additionally use “HD” or high-def glass coatings that use various procedures, aspects, chemical substances, and polarizations to enhance separate colors and viewable target visibility through lenses. This high-definition covering is commonly used with greater density lens glass which brings down light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious around objects with hard shapes as light hits the item from certain angles.
Rifle Glass Lens Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various coverings used to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while reducing 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 maker and the amount you spent for it. Both are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can establish that a maker is taking numerous steps to fight various environmental aspects like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of glass used in creating the rifle glass.
Anti-water Glass Lens Coating
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Many top of the line and premium optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Optic Installation Options
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also normally can be found in quick release versions which use manual levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Glass Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount 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 is created for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope install is perfect for rifles which require a long lasting, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and take off a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and developing 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.
Details on Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the accumulation 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 optic is less altered by climate alterations and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could possibly allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
