Info About Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnification using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted for the consideration of different environmental aspects like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern rifle optics have about eleven parts which are found internally and outside of the scope. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials or turrets, focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of an optic.
About Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Finding the perfect type of rifle scope depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Optic Details
First focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle ahead of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non magnified range. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without having “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their firearms
- Shooters who don’t 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 magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to stay at the exact same dimensions in relation to the level of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle dimensions alter based upon the zoom employed to shoot over greater ranges because the markings represent different increments which differ with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular varieties of optics work for:
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture with less space used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Scope Zoom
The amount of zoom a scope offers is determined 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.
Fixed Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not fluctuate given that it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power adjustment is handled using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Glass Power Level and Ranges
Here are some suggested scope powers and the ranges where they may be effectively used. Keep in mind that higher magnification glass will not be as practical as lower magnification level glass due to the fact that excessive zoom can be a detractor. The very same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs enough power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Scope Lens Finish
All modern rifle optic and scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of glass lens coatings. Lens covering is an important aspect of a rifle’s setup when considering high-end rifle optics and targeting systems. The glass lenses are one of the most key parts of the scope considering they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finish on the lenses shields the lens surface and even improves anti glare from excess sunshine and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Optic Lens Coatings
Some scope manufacturers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use different methods, chemicals, elements, and polarizations to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Info on Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various coverings used to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while reducing 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 manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Finishing
Water on an optic’s lens doesn’t assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line or premium scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It treats the surface of the Steiner scope lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads roll off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting solutions for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also usually can be found in quick release versions which use manual levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is created for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which need a resilient, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible style 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 in between several rifles or are situationally focused.
About Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Rifle Scope Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently occupied by the gas, the glass is less altered by condition alterations and pressure variations from the external environment which could potentially permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
