About Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for consideration of varied environmental things like wind speed and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing using the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern rifle optics have around 11 parts which are arranged within and externally on the optic. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The kind of focal plane an optic has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located relative to the scopes zoom. It simply suggests the reticle is behind or before the magnifying lens of the scope. Choosing the most suitable form of rifle scope is dependent on what variety of hunting or shooting you anticipate undertaking.
Info on First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non magnified range. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the very same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Facts
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include 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.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture with less room used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Glass Magnification
The measure of scope magnification you need on your optic depends upon the sort of shooting you choose to do. Pretty much every style of rifle glass gives some level of magnification. The quantity of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the diameter, density, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle optic. The zoom of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This denotes what the shooter is looking at through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not fluctuate because it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will note the magnification level in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers imply the zoom of the scope could be set between 2x and 10x power. This always utilizes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is achieved by operating the power ring part 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 suggested scope power levels and the distances where they could be successfully used. Always remember that high magnification scopes will not be as efficient as lower magnification level optics and scopes because increased zoom can be a bad thing. The same concept relates to longer distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Covering for Optics
All modern-day rifle glass lenses are layered. Lens finish is a significant aspect of a rifle when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
Info on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some glass companies additionally use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes that use various procedures, elements, chemical substances, and polarizations to enhance numerous colors and viewable target visibility through lenses. This HD finishing is normally used with higher density glass which reduces light’s capability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible around objects with defined outlines as light hits the object from specific angles.
What to Know About Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various scope lenses can even have various finishes applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some kind of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. Since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It needs to have a finish put on it so that it will be efficiently usable in many types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope company and how much money you spent on it. The scope’s maker and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has had multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens gets several treatments, it can establish that a producer is taking several actions to fight different natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also does not always imply the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of components used in building the rifle optic.
Glass Lens Hydrophobic Coating
Water on a lens does not help with preserving 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 finishing.
Rifle Optic Mounting Alternatives
Installing approaches for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also normally come in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Glass Rings
Standard, 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 precision shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
What to Know About Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day on the range and your highly-priced optic by resulting in fogging and generating residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of optics prevent humidity from getting in the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these water resistant scopes can be submerged underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough wetness avoidance for standard use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle on boats and are concerned about the scope still performing if it goes overboard and you can still recover the gun.
What to Know About Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is currently occupied by the gas, the glass is less influenced by climate changes and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
