Scope Details
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for separate ecological aspects like wind speed and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of modern-day rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are located internally and outside of the optic. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
About Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The type of focal plane an optic has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located relative to the optic’s zoom. It literally means the reticle is behind or before the magnification lens of the optic. Choosing the most suitable form of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the extent of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non amplified distance. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Glass
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 would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture without space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Zoom for Optics
The quantity of zoom a scope provides is identified by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not fluctuate because it is a fixed power optic.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power change is achieved using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Scopes
Here are some advised scope powers and the distances where they could be effectively used. Remember that high magnification optics will not be as practical as lower magnification level glass because excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have enough power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Info on Scope Lens Finishes
All modern rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. There are different types and qualities of finishes. Lens finishing can be an essential element of a rifle when contemplating luxury rifle optics and targeting units. The glass lenses are one of the most key pieces of the glass as they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The covering on the lenses shields the lens surface and helps with anti glare from refracted light and color perception.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope producers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different methods, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Glass Lens Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and boosting 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 scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope developer and the amount you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets several treatments, it can prove that a maker is taking multiple actions to fight different natural elements like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally doesn’t necessarily suggest the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends upon the maker’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle glass.
What to Know About Anti-water Finish
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic anti-water finish.
Optic Mounting Alternatives
Installing solutions for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Glass Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These styles of scope mounts use a pair of individual rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for far away accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is exceptional for rifles which require a resilient, unfailing mount which will not change no matter just how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should have for a dedicated optics system on a reach out and touch someone scouting or competitors long gun which will rarely need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the mount’s screws to keep the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted tightly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for long guns 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 Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes avoid wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Optic Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less affected by climate alterations and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which could potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
