Information Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of various environmental aspects like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are viewing via the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Most modern-day rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are found inside and on the exterior of the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Opting for the finest type of rifle glass is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to remain at the exact same overall size in connection with the level of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle dimensions alter based on the zoom chosen to shoot over longer ranges since the reticle measurements present different increments which can vary with the magnification. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture with less room used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Details on Scope Zoom
The measure of scope zoom you require depends on the kind of shooting you want to do. Nearly every style of rifle scope provides some degree of zoom. The level of zoom a scope gives is identified by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This implies what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom 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.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified settings. The power adjustment is performed by the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Optics
Here are some advised scope power levels and the ranges where they could be efficiently used. Always remember that high power scopes and optics will not be as efficient as lower powered optics and scopes since excessive zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The exact same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Lens Coatings
All contemporary rifle optic and scope lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of glass lens coverings. When considering high end rifle optics and scope units, Lens coating can be a very important component of defining the rifle’s capability. The lenses are one of the most important pieces of the glass because they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The covering on the lenses protects the lens surface and also assists with anti glare from excess light and color profiles.
Details on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use various procedures, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have various coverings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or covering used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered 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 minimizing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope company and the amount you spent for it. Both are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Finishing
Water on a lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and high-end scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic anti-water finishing.
Rifle Optic Mounting Choices
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly install and dismount the scope.
Glass Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use double detached rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for long distance precision shooting. This kind of scope mount is very good for rifle systems which require a resilient, unfailing mount which will not change despite just how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a specialized optics system on a long distance scouting or sniper competition rifle that will pretty much never need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on screws to keep the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are installed tightly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm style from Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a similar style mount, several scopes can often be swapped out in the field. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten tightly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while keeping precision. These types of mounts are useful and practical for shooting platforms which are carried a lot, to remove the glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are adopted between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle glass can ruin a day on the range and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and creating residue within the scope tube. A lot of optics prevent wetness from going into the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these water-resistant scopes can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of humidity prevention for common use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle boating and are worried about the scope still performing if it falls overboard and you can still rescue the firearm.
Rifle Scope Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the buildup of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less influenced by temp alterations and pressure differences from the external environment which might potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
