Info About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to account for varied environmental elements like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many modern-day rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are located within and on the exterior of the scope body. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The style of focal plane a scope has decides where the reticle or crosshair lies in connection with the scopes magnifying adjustments. It simply indicates the reticle is located behind or before the magnification lens of the scope. Looking for the most beneficial form of rifle glass is dependent on what style of hunting or shooting you anticipate doing.
First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their firearm
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Details
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same overall size in connection with the quantity of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements alter based on the zoom employed to shoot over longer ranges considering that the reticle markings represent different increments which vary with the magnification level. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These particular sorts of scopes are handy for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture with less space used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Glass Zoom
The quantity of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not fluctuate because it is a fixed power optic.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optic Details
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is handled using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they may be successfully used. Highly magnified glass will not be as useful as lower powered optics due to the fact that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have enough power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Info on Lens Coverings
All modern-day rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. There are different types and qualities of lens finishings. When researching luxury rifle optical setups, Lens finish can be a vital element of a rifle. The glass lenses are one of the most vital components of the scope as they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses safeguards the lens surface and improves anti glare from refracted natural light and color perception.
ED Versus HD Optics
Some scope brands also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various processes, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Glass
Various scope lenses can even have different coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in lots of types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield 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 covered lens depends on the scope developer and how much money you spent paying for it. Both the make and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope makers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has several treatments applied to them. If a lens receives several treatments, it can indicate that a company is taking numerous steps to fight different natural aspects like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally does not always imply the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Finish for Optics
Water on a lens doesn’t help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing which is water repellent.
Options for Installing Rifle Scopes on Firearms
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally come in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle operators to quickly mount and remove the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Scope 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 separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is created 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.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect tightly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while maintaining the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts are useful and handy for rifles which are carried a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are employed between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle optic can spoil a day of shooting and your pricey optic by inducing fogging and creating residue within the scope’s tube. Many scopes protect against humidity from going into the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these water resistant optics can be immersed underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient humidity avoidance for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you anticipate taking your rifle on a boat and are worried about the scope still working if it goes over the side and you can still salvage the rifle.
Optic Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the buildup of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less affected by temp alterations and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could potentially permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
