Facts About Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of numerous natural considerations like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing with the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many contemporary rifle optics have about 11 parts which are arranged inside and externally on the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The form of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair is located in connection with the optic’s magnification. It actually indicates the reticle is situated behind or before the magnifying lens of the scope. Considering the very best sort of rifle scope is based on what kind of shooting or hunting you plan on undertaking.
About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are minor
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Details
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to remain at the exact same dimensions in connection with the level of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle measurements adjust based upon the magnification employed to shoot over lengthier distances given that the reticle measurements represent distinct increments which vary with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These types of glass are handy for:
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture with less space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Scope Magnification
The amount of zoom a scope offers is figured out by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not change given that it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the zoom level in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers mean the zoom of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This also utilizes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is achieved by employing the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power and Ranges
Here are some suggested scope powers and the ranges where they can be successfully used. Bear in mind that high magnification glass will not be as practical as lower magnification level scope and optics because excessive magnification can be a detractor. The same goes for longer distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Rifle Scope Lens Coating
All modern-day rifle optic and scope lenses are coated. Lens coating can be a significant element of a rifle’s setup when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some rifle scope suppliers also use “HD” or high-def lense finishings that use various processes, components, polarizations, and chemical applications to extract different color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This HD covering is often used with higher density lens glass which decreases light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious over items with hard edges and shapes as light hits the object from particular angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various coverings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some kind of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a covering put on 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 reducing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope designer and how much you spent for it. Both are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Coating
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t improve preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end scope producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It provides protection for the surface area of the Steiner optic lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Installing Scopes on Firearms
Mounting options for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also normally can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
Basic, clamp-on style mounting optic rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use a pair of separate rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are manufactured for far away accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is excellent for rifle systems which are in need of a long lasting, hard use mount which will not shift no matter how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you want for a dedicated scope setup on a long distance hunting or sniper competition rifle that will rarely need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on screws to stop the hex screws from backing out after they are installed securely in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics brand. 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 connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for rifle platforms which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Info on Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less impacted by temperature shifts and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which could possibly allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
