Rifle Optic Details
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for consideration of many natural factors like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of modern-day rifle optics have around eleven parts which are located within and externally on the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of scopes.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Picking the best type of rifle optic is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the extent of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots take place within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture without area used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Glass Magnification
The quantity of scope magnification you need on your scope depends on the style of shooting you choose to do. Nearly every type of rifle scope supplies some degree of magnification. The amount of magnification a scope offers is established by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This implies what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Scope Details
A single power rifle scope uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not fluctuate since it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification power levels. These types of scopes will list the zoom degree in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope can be set between 2x and 10x power. This always involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is achieved by employing the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Glass
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they could be efficiently used. Keep in mind that high magnification scopes and optics will not be as practical as lower powered optics due to the fact that excessive magnification can be a detractor. The very same idea goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Optic Lens Finishing
All contemporary rifle scope and optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of glass coverings. When looking at luxury rifle optical systems, Lens coating can be a very important component of defining the capability of the rifle. The lenses are one of the most critical pieces of the glass since they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finishing on the lenses protects the lens exterior and even improves anti glare capabilities from refracted sunlight and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Rifle Optic Lens Coatings
Some scope brands also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use various processes, polarizations, chemicals, and components to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Rifle Optic Lens Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different finishes used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or coating used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
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 covered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Rifle Glass Lens Coating
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating which is water repellent.
Rifle Optic Installing Alternatives
Installing approaches for scopes can be found in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically come in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is created for long range precision shooting. This type of scope mount is excellent for rifles which require a long lasting, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly take off a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect solidly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while maintaining precision. These kinds of mounts come in handy for rifles which are moved around a lot, to take off the glass from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics brand. It normally costs around $250 USD
What to Know About Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Rifle Glass Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less affected by temperature level shifts and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which might potentially enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
