Rifle Scope Information
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by making use of a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to take into account numerous natural elements like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many contemporary rifle optics have around eleven parts which are found within and on the exterior of the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of optics.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Picking the finest type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane glass (FFP) come with the reticle ahead of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on the level of magnification being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non amplified distance. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and also “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the exact same scale relative to the level of magnification being used. The end result is that the reticle measurements adapt based upon the zoom applied to shoot over lengthier distances because the reticle markings present distinct increments which differ with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These sorts of glass work for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture with less room taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Scope Magnification
The amount of zoom a scope provides is identified by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic and scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not fluctuate because it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power adjustment is handled by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Optic Power and Ranges
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they may be effectively used. High power rifle scope glass will not be as efficient as lower magnification level rifle scope glass considering that too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Optic Lens Coatings
All top of the line rifle scope and optic lenses are coated. Lens finishing can be a crucial element of a rifle system when considering high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
Info on Optic Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope brands likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use different methods, chemicals, polarizations, and aspects to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Glass Lens Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can even have different coverings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It needs to have a covering put on it so that it will be optimally usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while reducing 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 upon the scope producer and how much money you spent for it. Both the manufacturer and amount are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This suggests the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can show that a producer is taking several actions to fight different environmental factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally doesn’t necessarily suggest the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” depends upon the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coatings
Water on a scope lens does not improve keeping a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Lots of top of the line or premium optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It treats the exterior surfaces of the Steiner optic lens so the water particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Optic Installing Options
Mounting options for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the glass.
Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp-on design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These forms of scope mounts use a pair of detached rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for far away accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is effective for rifles which need to have a durable, unfailing mount which will not change regardless of just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should get for a faithful scope system on a reach out and touch someone hunting or competition long gun that will rarely need to be modified or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the scope mount’s screws to protect against the hex screws from wiggling out after they are installed tightly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set usually costs around $200 USD
Rifle Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and remove a scope from a rifle. If they all use a comparable design mount, a number of scopes can often be switched in the field. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach nicely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts come in handy for shooting platforms which are transferred between vehicles a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are chosen for use between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your highly-priced optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope’s tube. Many scopes prevent moisture from getting in the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these water-resistant scopes can be immersed underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample humidity prevention for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are concerned about the optic still working if it goes over the side and you can still salvage the gun.
Info on Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the buildup of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less affected by condition changes and pressure variations from the outside environment which could potentially enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
