Information About Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to account for numerous natural elements like wind speed and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many modern rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are arranged internally and outside of the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Going for the perfect type of rifle glass is based on what type of 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 types of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” as well as “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of 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.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Scope Zoom
The level of scope zoom you need on your glass depends upon the style of shooting you plan to do. Nearly every style of rifle glass provides some degree of zoom. The volume of magnification a scope supplies is established by the dimension, thickness, and curves of the lenses within the rifle optic. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This denotes what the shooter is looking at through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not adjust since it is fixed.
About Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the magnification amount in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This also utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is achieved by employing the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the ranges where they can be effectively used. Keep in mind that higher power optics and scopes will not be as practical as lower magnification level scope and optics due to the fact that excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The same applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Details on Glass Lens Finish
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are layered. There are different types and qualities of glass lens finishes. Lens covering is an essential aspect of a rifle when thinking about high end rifle optics and targeting systems. The lenses are one of the most vital components of the glass considering they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The covering on the lenses safeguards the lens surface area and even improves anti glare capabilities from refracted sunrays and color presence.
ED Versus HD Scopes
Some optic producers additionally use “HD” or high-definition lense coverings that take advantage of different processes, rare earth compounds, components, and polarizations to extract a wide range of color ranges and viewable target visibility through the lens. This high-definition finishing is normally used with greater density lens glass which drops light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope suppliers use “HD” to describe “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable over objects with hard outlines as light hits the object from particular angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating for Scopes
Various optic lenses can likewise have different coverings used to them. All lenses normally 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 normally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends upon the scope producer and just how much you paid for it. The scope’s maker and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope makers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives several treatments, it can indicate that a manufacturer is taking numerous steps to combat various environmental aspects like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally does not always suggest the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in creating the rifle glass.
Hydrophobic Lens Coatings
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic anti-water finish.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Firearms
Installing options for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also normally can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly mount and remove the scope.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use double separate rings to support the scope, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for far away accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is effective for rifle systems which need a resilient, hard use mount which will not move regardless of just how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a faithful optics setup on a reach out and touch someone hunting or sniper competition rifle that will rarely need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the screws to stop the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted safely in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Optic Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and take off a scope from a rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten tightly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while maintaining the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts are useful and handy for shooting platforms which are hauled around a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are adopted between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most optics prevent wetness from getting in the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these water resistant optics can be submerged beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough moisture content prevention for standard use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are concerned about the optic still performing if it is submerged in water and you can still rescue the firearm.
Details on Rifle Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less influenced by condition changes and pressure variations from the external environment which could potentially permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
