About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through zoom using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for the consideration of separate natural aspects like wind speed and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern-day rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are located internally and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation turrets or dials, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Finding the best type of rifle optic is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non magnified distance. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without having “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are small
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the exact same overall size relative to the level of magnification being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements alter based on the magnification chosen to shoot over greater distances because the reticle markings present distinct increments which change with the magnification level. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These varieties of scopes work for:
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots happen within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture without space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
About Rifle Glass Zoom
The measure of scope zoom you need on your optic depends on the form of shooting you like to do. Virtually every style of rifle glass gives some degree of magnification. The volume of magnification a scope gives is identified by the diameter, density, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle optic. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This implies what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Rifle Scope Info
A single power rifle optic and scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not change given that it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Scope Info
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power change is handled by the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Scopes
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they may be efficiently used. Keep in mind that higher power scopes and optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level scopes since too much magnification can be a bad thing. The same concept relates to extended ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
About Lens Coatings
All state-of-the-art rifle scope lenses are coated. Lens covering is a vital aspect of a rifle system when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Optic Lens Coatings
Some optic makers will also use “HD” or high-definition lense finishes which use various procedures, aspects, polarizations, and chemical applications to extract various colors and viewable definition through lenses. This high-def finishing is typically used with higher density lens glass which brings down light’s potential to refract through the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be obvious around items with well defined shapes as light hits the item from certain angles.
Rifle Scope Lens Single Covering 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 finishing applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It needs to have a covering put on it so that the lens will be efficiently functional in many types of environments, degrees of light (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets several treatments, it can indicate that a manufacturer is taking multiple steps to fight different environmental factors like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally doesn’t always indicate the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of glass used in building the rifle glass.
Info on Hydrophobic Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t help with preserving 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 hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing.
Rifle Glass Installation Options
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use manual levers which enable rifle operators to quickly install and dismount the scope.
Optic Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These styles of scope mounts use double detached rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is ideal for rifle systems which are in need of a resilient, unfailing mount which will not move regardless of just how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you really want to have for a dedicated scope setup on a far away hunting or sniper competition rifle which will seldom need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on screws to stop the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted tightly in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics company. The set usually costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect 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 compatible design mount. These types of mounts are handy for long guns which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Info on Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
What to Know About Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less influenced by temperature shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which may possibly enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
