What You Need to Know About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnification by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for varied ecological factors like wind and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing via the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are located internally and outside of the optic. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The kind of focal plane an optic has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the optic’s zoom. It literally means the reticle is located behind or ahead of the magnification lens of the scope. Deciding on the most effective form of rifle glass is dependent on what form of shooting you anticipate undertaking.
First Focal Plane Scope Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified range as they are at the non magnified distance. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without having “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Details
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include 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 reticle measurement.
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture with less area used up by the bigger FFP reticle
About Optic Zoom
The quantity of magnification a scope supplies is figured out by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not adjust since it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Scope Facts
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the magnification degree in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes 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 rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Rifle Optic Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. High power rifle scope glass will not be as effective as lower magnification level rifle scope glass since too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Details on Lens Covering
All present day rifle optic and scope lenses are covered. Lens finishing is an essential aspect of a shooting system when buying high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use various procedures, elements, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out separate colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Optic Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various coatings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer 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 “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Coating
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing.
Alternatives for Mounting Glass on Firearms
Installing solutions for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally come in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly install and remove the optics.
Optic Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, 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 different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which need a durable, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between several rifles.
Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day on the range and your pricey optic by resulting in fogging and generating residue inside of the scope’s tube. The majority of optics protect against humidity from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Normally, these optics can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of humidity avoidance for common use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are concerned about the scope still functioning if it is submerged in water and you can still rescue the gun.
Scope Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less affected by temp changes and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which could possibly allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
