What You Need to Know About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by utilizing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted for consideration of separate environmental considerations like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many modern rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are found inside and on the exterior of the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets or dials, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The type of focal plane an optic has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies in connection with the optic’s magnification. It literally indicates the reticle is located behind or before the magnifying lens of the optic. Deciding on the most suitable style of rifle scope depends upon what variety of hunting or shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane glass (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the exact same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are small
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
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 measurement.
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture with less space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Optic Magnification
The amount of magnification a scope provides is identified by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle scope uses 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 magnification of this kind of scope can not fluctuate given that it is a fixed power optic.
Adjustable Power Lens Scope Details
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification power levels. These types of scopes will list the magnification amount in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This also includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is achieved by operating the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power Level and Range Correlation of Rifle Optics
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they may be effectively used. Bear in mind that higher power scopes will not be as practical as lower powered optics because too much magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same relates to extended distances where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Lens Covering for Scopes
All modern rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of glass lens coatings. Lens covering is an important element of a rifle’s setup when looking at high-end rifle optics and targeting equipment. The lenses are one of the most significant components of the scope due to the fact that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The covering on the lenses safeguards the lens exterior and even helps with anti glare from excess natural light and color perception.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use various methods, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Details on Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have various finishes applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be efficiently usable in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coating
Water on a lens doesn’t help with keeping 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 hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating.
Options for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Long Guns
Installing options for scopes are available in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also usually are made in quick release versions which use toss levers which allow rifle operators to quickly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is perfect for rifles which require a durable, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass 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. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect solidly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while preserving accuracy. These kinds of mounts are useful and practical for shooting platforms which are moved around a lot, to remove the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are adopted in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It generally costs around $250 USD
Details on Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle glass can spoil a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Most optics protect against moisture from going into the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Normally, these water resistant optics can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough moisture avoidance for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are worried about the scope still performing if it is submerged in water and you can still rescue the rifle.
Info on Rifle Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the buildup of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less influenced by climate changes and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which might potentially allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
