Optic Details
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for the consideration of varied environmental factors like wind and elevation 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 through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Most modern rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are located internally and externally on the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of scopes.
About Rifle Scope Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The type of focal plane an optic has decides where the reticle or crosshair is located in relation to the scopes magnification. It actually implies the reticle is behind or in front of the magnification lens of the scope. Looking for the most effective kind of rifle scope depends upon what style of hunting or shooting you plan on undertaking.
Info About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on the level 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. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” relationships for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (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 reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture with less room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Optics
The amount of scope zoom you need on your glass is based on the style of shooting you intend to do. Nearly every style of rifle glass offers some amount of magnification. The level of magnification a scope delivers is identified by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle optic. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This indicates what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not change since it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified settings. The power adjustment is accomplished using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Scope Power and Ranges
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Highly magnified rifle scope glass will not be as efficient as lower powered glass due to the fact that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea relates to extended distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Details on Lens Finish
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of lens finishes. Lens finish can be an essential element of a rifle’s setup when contemplating high-end rifle optics and scope units. The lenses are one of the most vital pieces of the glass given that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finishing on the lenses protects the lens exterior and also assists with anti glare capabilities from refracted light and color perception.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some glass suppliers even use “HD” or high-definition lense coatings that take advantage of different procedures, chemicals, elements, and polarizations to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable target definition through lenses. This HD coating is normally used with increased density lens glass which decreases light’s potential to refract through the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious over objects with defined shapes as light hits the object from certain angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can even have different coatings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic. Since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be efficiently functional in lots of types of environments, degrees of light (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you spent paying for it. Both are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has had numerous treatments applied to them. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can indicate that a producer is taking multiple actions to fight various natural elements like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also does not always mean the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single layered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in creating the rifle optic.
Anti-water Coating for Rifle Optics
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing.
Alternatives for Installing Optics on Long Guns
Installing solutions for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly install and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Rings
Normal, 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 separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is fine 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.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous 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 optics which are used in between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Details on Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Details on Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less influenced by climate changes and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which might possibly permit 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.
