What You Need to Know About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of many ecological factors like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing with the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many contemporary rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are located within and externally on the scope. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials or turrets, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
About Rifle Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Choosing the optimal type of rifle glass is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Optic Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Details
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Far away kinds 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 prefer a clearer optic picture with less space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Rifle Scope Zoom
The extent of scope magnification you need is based on the style of shooting you desire to do. Practically every type of rifle scope provides some degree of magnification. The amount of magnification a scope delivers is established by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This indicates what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not change since it is a set power scope.
Info on Variable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power adjustment is performed by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the distances where they can be effectively used. High power glass will not be as efficient as lower magnification level rifle scope glass because too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs to have increased power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finish for Rifle Scopes
All modern rifle scope and optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of finishes. When shopping for luxury rifle scope systems, Lens coating can be a very important element of defining the capability of the rifle. The lenses are among the most significant parts of the glass because they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses protects the lens surface area and also assists with anti glare capabilities from refracted sunrays and color presence.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some optic manufacturers even use “HD” or high-def glass coverings that employ various procedures, rare earth compounds, polarizations, and components to enhance a wide range of colors and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-definition finish is often used with more costly, high density lens glass which decreases light’s potential to refract through the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious around objects with hard shapes as light hits the item from certain angles.
Single Rifle Scope Lens Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various finishes used to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or covering used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope producer and the amount you spent for it. Both are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
About Anti-water Covering
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 military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating.
Choices for Installing Rifle Optics on Long Guns
Mounting options for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally come in quick release variations which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
Standard, clamp-on design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use two independent rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are manufactured for long distance accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is ideal for rifle systems which require a resilient, unfailing mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should get for a faithful scope system on a reach out and touch someone scouting or sniper competition rifle which will seldom need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used to prevent the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are installed tightly in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from the Vortex Optics company. The set typically 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 rapidly remove a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
About Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can spoil a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and developing residue within the scope’s tube. A lot of optics prevent moisture from going into the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Generally, these scopes can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of wetness avoidance for basic use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are worried about the scope still performing if it goes overboard and you can still salvage the gun.
Glass Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less affected by climate changes and pressure variations from the outside environment which could possibly permit water vapor to leak 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.
