What You Need to Know About Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through zoom by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account separate environmental things like wind and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of contemporary rifle optics have around 11 parts which are found internally and on the exterior of the optic. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of a scope.
Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Choosing the best type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture with less room used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Optics
The quantity of zoom a scope provides is determined by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not change given that it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scope Facts
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification increments. It will note the zoom level in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers mean the zoom of the scope can be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This additionally utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is achieved using the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range Correlations
Here are some advised scope power settings and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Consider that higher power optics and scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics and scopes due to the fact that increased zoom can be a detractor. The exact same idea relates to longer distances where the shooter needs enough power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
About Lens Coatings
All modern-day rifle glass lenses are coated. Lens finishing is a vital element of a shooting platform when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Scopes
Some rifle scope producers will also use “HD” or high-def glass coatings that use various processes, rare earth compounds, components, and polarizations to enhance various color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-def coating is typically used with more costly, high density glass which brings down light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious over things with well defined shapes as light hits the item from certain angles.
Rifle Optic Lens Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is due to the fact that the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a coating applied to it so that the lens will be optimally functional in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends upon the scope developer and the amount you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope makers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has had numerous treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can show that a maker is taking multiple steps to combat different environmental factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also doesn’t always mean the multi-coated lens is much better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of materials used in creating the rifle glass.
Hydrophobic Lens Finishes
Water on an optic’s lens doesn’t improve retaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line or high-end optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the exterior of the Steiner scope lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Installing Optics on Long Guns
Installing solutions for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also normally come in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Glass Ring Mounts
Normal, clamp style 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 separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which require a durable, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less affected by temperature changes and pressure variations from the outside environment which could potentially permit 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.
