All About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnifying the target by using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for consideration of various natural things like wind speed and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. The majority of modern rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are located internally and externally on the optic. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of optics.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The sort of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies relative to the optic’s zoom. It simply suggests the reticle is behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the scope. Selecting the best sort of rifle glass depends upon what type of hunting or shooting you anticipate doing.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are minor
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” plus “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Info
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the same size in relation to the amount of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle dimensions alter based upon the zoom employed to shoot over greater ranges given that the reticle markings present different increments which fluctuate with the zoom level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These kinds of glass are convenient for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture with less room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Scope Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope provides is determined by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info About Fixed Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification 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 fixed.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification levels. It will note the magnification level in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the zoom of the scope could be changed between 2x and 10x power. This additionally involves the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is accomplished by operating the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power and Range of Scopes
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they can be effectively used. High power scopes will not be as effective as lower powered rifle scope glass considering that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs to have increased power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
About Optic Lens Coverings
All modern-day rifle scope and optic lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of glass coverings. When looking at luxury rifle optics and scope units, Lens covering can be an essential component of defining the rifle’s capability. The glass lenses are one of the most important parts of the scope because they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The covering on the lenses safeguards the lens exterior as well as assists with anti glare capabilities from refracted daylight and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Glass Lens Coatings
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different methods, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out different colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various coatings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This suggests the lens has several treatments applied to them. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can establish that a company is taking numerous steps to combat different environmental aspects like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally doesn’t always mean the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends upon the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Finishing for Scopes
Water on a lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing which is water repellent.
Rifle Optic Installation Options
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Ring Mounts
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 is designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is excellent for rifles which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are handy for long guns which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used in between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Scope Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another part of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less affected by temp alterations and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could possibly 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 seek out.
