Optic Facts
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnification by utilizing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted for consideration of various environmental considerations like wind and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. The majority of contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are found within and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
About Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The type of focal plane an optic has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies in regard to the optic’s magnification. It actually means the reticle is located behind or before the magnifying lens of the optic. Deciding upon the most effective style of rifle optic depends upon what style of hunting or shooting you intend on undertaking.
First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane glass (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on the level of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non magnified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and also “lead” relationships for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture with less space used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Scope Zoom
The level of scope magnification you need on your scope is based on the form of shooting you wish to do. Just about every kind of rifle glass offers some level of magnification. The amount of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This denotes what the shooter is checking out through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Info About Fixed Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not fluctuate given that it is a fixed power optic.
Info on Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will list the zoom degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope could be changed between 2x and 10x power. This also incorporates the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is achieved by making use of the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Glass Power and Ranges
Here are some suggested scope powers and the distances where they can be efficiently used. Bear in mind that high power glass will not be as effective as lower powered scopes because excessive zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same concept relates to extended distances where the shooter needs increased power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Details on Lens Finish
All modern rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens finishing can be a crucial aspect of a rifle’s setup when buying high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some rifle scope companies will also use “HD” or high-definition lense finishings that take advantage of different procedures, polarizations, rare earth compounds, and aspects to enhance separate color ranges and viewable definition through lenses. This high-definition covering is normally used with higher density lens glass which decreases light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable around items with defined shapes as light hits the object from specific angles.
Single Optic Lens Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or covering used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Rifle Optic Lens Anti-water Coating
Water on a lens does not help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing which is water repellent.
Alternatives for Mounting Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also usually can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which enable rifle operators to quickly mount and remove the scopes.
Rifle Optic Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design 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 are developed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is wonderful for rifles which require 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 Ring Mounts
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 also be switched out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used between several rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Scope Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes prevent wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Scope Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is currently occupied by the gas, the glass is less influenced by temp alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which may potentially permit water vapor to seep 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.
