What You Need to Know About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through zoom by utilizing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for consideration of varied environmental aspects like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. The majority of modern rifle optics have around eleven parts which are found within and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The kind of focal plane a scope has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the optic’s magnification. It actually means the reticle is situated behind or ahead of the magnifying lens of the scope. Choosing the most ideal type of rifle optic is dependent on what form of hunting or shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Facts
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature 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 reticle measurement.
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture without space taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
About Rifle Glass Zoom
The quantity of magnification a scope provides is identified by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Fixed Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not adjust given that it is fixed.
About Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification increments. These types of scopes will note the zoom amount in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers imply the zoom of the scope can be changed between 2x and 10x power. This also involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is achieved by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range of Glass
Here are some advised scope powers and the distances where they can be successfully used. Highly magnified scopes will not be as efficient as lower magnification scopes since too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The exact same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
About Lens Covering
All top of the line rifle optic and scope lenses are coated. Lens finish is a crucial element of a rifle system when considering high end rifle optics and scope setups.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some optic producers also use “HD” or high-definition lense finishes that make the most of different procedures, aspects, polarizations, and chemical applications to enhance different color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-definition coating is often used with more costly, high density glass which drops light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable over things with hard outlines as light hits the item from particular angles.
What to Know About Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered 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” covered. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Info on Hydrophobic Finishing
Water on an optical lens doesn’t help with keeping a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Many top of the line and high-end optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the exterior surfaces of the Steiner scope lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Optic Installing Alternatives
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally come in quick release versions which use manual levers which allow rifle operators to quickly mount and remove the glass.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Standard, clamp design 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which need a resilient, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Glass Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less influenced by condition shifts and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which could possibly enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
