All About Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account various environmental factors like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function 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 line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. A lot of contemporary rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are found within and on the exterior of the scope. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Picking the optimal type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scope Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non amplified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the identical tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are practical for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Facts
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture without area taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Zoom for Rifle Optics
The quantity of scope magnification you need is based on the form of shooting you intend to do. Nearly every style of rifle scope supplies some level of magnification. The volume of zoom a scope delivers is identified by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This suggests what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not adjust because it is set from the factory.
Variable Power Lens Optic Info
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification power levels. It will list the magnification degree in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers imply the zoom of the scope can be adjusted in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is accomplished by employing the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they can be effectively used. Bear in mind that high magnification scopes and optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level glass due to the fact that too much magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The exact same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Rifle Scope Lens Coating
All modern rifle optic lenses are covered. Lens finishing is a significant aspect of a shooting system when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope makers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different methods, polarizations, components, and chemicals to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Rifle Scope Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various finishes applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in lots of types of environments, degrees of light (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to 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 covered lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Covering for Rifle Scopes
Water on a lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish.
Glass Installation Alternatives
Mounting options for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also typically are made in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Rings
Basic, clamp-on style mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These types of scope mounts use two individual rings to support the optic, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are manufactured for far away precision shooting. This type of scope mount is excellent for rifle systems which need a long lasting, rock solid mount which will not shift regardless of how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you want for a specialized optics setup on a far away hunting or sniper competition firearm which will almost never need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used to keep the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted tightly in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Rifle Glass Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less affected by climate changes and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which could potentially enable 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 seek out.
