What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through magnifying the target by using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account various environmental aspects like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Most modern rifle optics have around 11 parts which are found inside and outside of the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials or turrets, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The sort of focal plane a scope has identifies where the reticle or crosshair lies in regard to the scopes magnification. It actually means the reticle is situated behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the optic. Considering the very best kind of rifle optic depends upon what sort of shooting or hunting you intend on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the level of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and “lead” equations for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the exact same dimensions relative to the volume of magnification being used. The end result is that the reticle measurements evolve based on the zoom applied to shoot over greater distances given that the reticle measurements represent different increments which can vary with the magnification level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These styles of optics are handy for:
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture without room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Scope Zoom
The measure of scope zoom you need on your glass depends upon the style of shooting you choose to do. Virtually every type of rifle optic delivers some degree of zoom. The level of magnification a scope delivers is determined by the diameter, density, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle optic. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This means what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Optic Facts
A single power rifle scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not change given that it is fixed.
Adjustable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification levels. It will list the zoom amount in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the zoom of the scope can be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished by applying the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they can be successfully used. Highly magnified optics will not be as beneficial as lower magnification glass due to the fact that too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The very same idea relates to longer distances where the shooter needs adequate power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
About Lens Finish
All cutting-edge rifle scope lenses are layered. Lens covering can be an essential aspect of a shooting platform when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle scope makers also use “HD” or high-def lens finishings that apply various procedures, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out different color ranges and viewable definition through lenses. This high-def covering is normally used with higher density lens glass which brings down light’s potential to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible over things with well defined outlines as light hits the item from particular angles.
Optic Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have different coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It needs to have a coating applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in many types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less helpful 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” covered. This suggests the lens has multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens gets several treatments, it can indicate that a manufacturer is taking several steps to fight different natural aspects like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This additionally does not necessarily indicate the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in creating the rifle optic.
Hydrophobic Lens Finish
Water on a lens does not assist with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering.
Options for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Firearms
Installing solutions for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted 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 shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounts
Standard, clamp design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for far away precision shooting. This form of scope mount is good for rifle systems which need a durable, hard use mount which will not shift regardless of how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a faithful scope setup on a long distance scouting or sniper competition firearm that will hardly ever need to be modified or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the mount’s screws to protect against the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted securely in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type made by Vortex Optics. The set usually costs around $200 USD
Rifle Optic Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a similar style mount, a number of scopes can often be switched out in the field. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect firmly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while retaining accuracy. These types of mounts are useful and convenient for shooting platforms which are transferred between vehicles a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are employed in between multiple rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It normally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Rifle Optic Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less influenced by temp changes and pressure differences from the external environment which could possibly allow water vapor to leak 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.
