What You Need to Know About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through zoom by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to account for varied environmental elements like wind speed and elevation 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 viewing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern-day rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are found inside and externally on the scope. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Choosing the perfect type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” plus “lead” relationships for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Facts
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Glass
The extent of scope zoom you require is based on the form of shooting you want to do. Virtually every type of rifle scope delivers some level of zoom. The level of magnification a scope gives is established by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle optic. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This means what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is magnified times the power element of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Scope Info
A single power rifle scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not adjust considering that it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will note the zoom amount in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This always involves the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range of Scopes
Here are some advised scope power levels and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Highly magnified optics will not be as useful as lower magnification rifle scope glass considering too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Lens Finishing for Optics
All present day rifle optic and scope lenses are coated. Lens covering can be an essential element of a rifle system when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope producers additionally use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings that use different procedures, polarizations, rare earth compounds, and components to draw out numerous color ranges and viewable definition through lenses. This high-def finishing is typically used with increased density glass which lowers light’s chance to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable over items with well defined shapes as light hits the object from various angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different finishings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect 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 manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has numerous treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives several treatments, it can prove that a company is taking several steps to combat various environmental aspects like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally doesn’t always suggest the multi-coated lens is much better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of products used in creating the rifle glass.
Hydrophobic Covering for Rifle Scopes
Water on a scope’s lens does not support retaining a clear sight picture through a scope whatsoever. Lots of top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It treats the surface of the Steiner glass lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Glass on Long Guns
Installing approaches for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the glass.
Scope Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Normal, clamp style 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 different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is perfect for rifles which need a resilient, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between several rifles or are situationally focused.
What to Know About Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Details on Rifle Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less impacted by climate changes and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could 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 seek out.
