About Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnification by utilizing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to account for varied natural elements like wind and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters 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 intended point of impact. The majority of modern rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are found internally and externally on the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Considering the finest type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” ratios for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnification 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 reticle measurement.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic picture without space used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Rifle Optic Magnification
The extent of scope zoom you need on your optic depends on the sort of shooting you want to do. Nearly every type of rifle optic supplies some degree of magnification. The amount of magnification a scope supplies is determined by the dimension, thickness, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This suggests what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is magnified times the power element of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic and scope uses 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 magnification of this type of scope can not adjust because it is a set power scope.
Info on Variable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will note the zoom degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the zoom of the scope can be adjusted in between 2x and 10x power. This also includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is accomplished utilizing the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Optics
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they may be successfully used. Keep in mind that higher power scopes and optics will not be as efficient as lower powered optics because increased magnification can be a bad thing. The same concept relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have enough power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Lens Covering for Rifle Scopes
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are covered. Lens finish can be a crucial element of a rifle system when looking into high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope producers will also use “HD” or high-def lens coatings that make the most of different procedures, rare earth compounds, polarizations, and aspects to enhance various color ranges and viewable definition through lenses. This high-definition coating is often used with higher density lens glass which reduces light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be noticeable around objects with hard edges and outlines as light hits the object from various angles.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Scopes
Various scope lenses can also have different finishings 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. This is since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives several treatments, it can establish that a maker is taking numerous actions to fight different environmental factors like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not necessarily suggest the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle optic.
Anti-water Rifle Scope Lens Coating
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing.
Choices for Installing Scopes on Firearms
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally are made in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the scope.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Hex Key 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 a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which need a durable, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Rifle Scope Mounting Solutions 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. Several scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used in between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less altered by climate alterations and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which could potentially enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
