Scope Facts
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically aim a rifle at different 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 adjusted for consideration of varied ecological aspects like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many contemporary rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are found within and outside of the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
About Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Considering the finest type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Optic Facts
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These types of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are very little
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and “lead” relationships for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of 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 measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture without space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Optic Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope supplies is figured out by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info on Fixed Single Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle scope and optic uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change because it is set from the factory.
Variable Power Lens Optic Details
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is performed using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range Correlation of Scopes
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Highly magnified rifle scope glass will not be as useful as lower powered scopes due to the fact that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same concept applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs adequate power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
About Lens Finishes
All modern-day rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of glass lens coverings. Lens finishing can be an essential aspect of a rifle when thinking of high-end rifle optics and scope systems. The lenses are among the most critical parts of the glass as they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finish on the lenses protects the lens exterior and improves anti glare capabilities from excess light and color exposure.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some glass makers also use “HD” or high-definition glass coatings which take advantage of different procedures, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to draw out a wide range of color ranges and viewable target visibility through the lens. This HD coating is typically used with more costly high density glass which decreases light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable around things with hard shapes as light hits the item from various angles.
Rifle Optic Lens Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have different coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to 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 coated lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This means the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets several treatments, it can establish that a producer is taking numerous actions to fight various natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This additionally does not always suggest the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of products used in creating the rifle scope.
Optic Lens Hydrophobic Covering
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic anti-water covering.
Glass Mounting Choices
Installing approaches for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly mount and remove the scope.
Scope Mounts with Hex Key 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 different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is perfect for rifles which need a resilient, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Rifle Glass Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a complementary style mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect solidly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while retaining the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts come in practical for shooting platforms which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are used in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It typically costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Optic Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle optic can spoil a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and generating residue inside of the scope’s tube. Most optics prevent moisture from going into the optical tube with a system 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 ample moisture avoidance for standard use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are concerned about the optic still working if it falls overboard and you can still rescue the rifle.
Glass Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less influenced by condition shifts and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which could potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
