Rifle Optic Information
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnifying the target by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for consideration of different ecological factors like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing using the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern-day rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are arranged inside and externally on the scope. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Finding the optimal type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are very little
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the very same dimensions in relation to the amount of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle dimensions alter based on the zoom used to shoot over greater distances because the markings present various increments which can vary with the zoom. In the FFP illustration with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular varieties of optics work for:
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who select a clearer optic sight picture with less room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Glass Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope provides is figured out by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info on Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle scope and optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not adjust since it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scope Details
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified settings. The power adjustment is achieved using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the distances where they can be efficiently used. High power glass will not be as beneficial as lower powered rifle scope glass since too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Rifle Scope Lens Finishes
All contemporary rifle optic lenses are covered. Lens covering can be a crucial aspect of a rifle’s setup when buying high end rifle optics and scope systems.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle glass suppliers will also use “HD” or high-definition lense finishes that employ different processes, polarizations, chemicals, and elements to enhance different color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-definition finish is typically used with greater density glass which lowers light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable over items with defined outlines as light hits the item from specific angles.
What to Know About Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single covered lens depends upon the scope developer and how much money you spent for it. The scope’s maker and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope makers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Finishing
Water on a lens does not help 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 hydrophilic or hydrophobic anti-water finishing.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Optics on Firearms
Installing approaches for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also normally are made in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the optics.
Rifle Scope Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use double separate rings to support the scope, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance precision shooting. This kind of scope mount is ideal for rifles which are in need of a durable, rock solid mount which will not move regardless of just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you want for a dedicated scope setup on a long distance scouting or hard target interdiction long gun that will hardly ever need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on screws to protect against the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted safely in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics brand. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These kinds 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 comparable design mount, several scopes can also be switched in the field. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten firmly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while maintaining accuracy. These kinds of mounts come in handy for shooting platforms which are transferred a lot, to take off the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are chosen for use in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle glass can spoil a day of shooting and your highly-priced optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes protect against humidity from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these water-resistant scopes can be submerged under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample moisture content avoidance for conventional use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle on boats and are concerned about the scope still functioning if it goes over the side and you can still rescue the firearm.
Rifle Scope Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less affected by temperature level alterations and pressure differences from the external environment which may possibly enable 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.
