Optic Details
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by lining up 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 alignment can be dialed in to take into account varied environmental factors like wind and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are found inside and externally on the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Selecting the finest type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are very little
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” plus “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture without room used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Zoom for Scopes
The extent of scope magnification you need on your scope is based on the kind of shooting you wish to do. Pretty much every style of rifle optic delivers some degree of magnification. The amount of magnification a scope provides is determined by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This signifies what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope or optic comes with a magnification 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 kind of optic can not fluctuate because it is set from the factory.
Adjustable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified levels. The power modification is handled using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope powers and the distances where they may be effectively used. Keep in mind that higher power scopes will not be as efficient as lower powered optics since excessive magnification can be a detractor. The same concept goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs to have increased power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
Details on Scope Lens Finishes
All present day rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens finishing can be a significant aspect of a shooting system when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Scope Lens Coatings
Some rifle scope makers additionally use “HD” or high-def lense coverings that use different procedures, chemicals, polarizations, and components to extract numerous colors and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-def coating is frequently used with more costly high density glass which decreases light’s ability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable over things with well defined outlines as light hits the object from certain angles.
About Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can even have various finishings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of light (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it. Both are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has had multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can show that a company is taking several actions to fight various natural factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This additionally does not always imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single layered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the producer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle glass.
Anti-water Finish for Rifle Optics
Water on a lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and high-end scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating which is water repellent.
Options for Mounting Optics on Firearms
Installing options for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also usually can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the scope.
Hex Key Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
Basic, clamp design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two individual rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for far away accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is good for rifle systems which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not change no matter just how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you really want to have for a dedicated optics system on a reach out and touch someone scouting or sniper competition long gun that will rarely need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the screws to prevent the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted tightly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from Vortex Optics. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and take off a scope from a rifle. If they all use a comparable design mount, a number of scopes can also be switched on the range. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten solidly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while retaining the original sighting settings. These types of mounts come in practical for shooting platforms which are shipped a lot, to take off the scope from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are adopted in between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It normally costs around $250 USD
Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Info on Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less altered by temp shifts and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which might possibly permit water vapor to seep 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.
