What You Need to Know About Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through zoom by employing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account various environmental factors like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. A lot of contemporary rifle optics have about eleven parts which are arranged within and outside of the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The form of focal plane a scope has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the optic’s zoom. It simply means the reticle is behind or before the magnification lens of the scope. Choosing the most suitable type of rifle glass depends on what kind of shooting you intend on undertaking.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are small
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Glass Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope provides 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 Rifle Glass
A single power rifle scope or optic uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not adjust considering that it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Optic Details
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power adjustment is achieved by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Glass Power Level and Ranges
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the distances where they could be successfully used. Consider that higher power glass will not be as practical as lower magnification level scopes due to the fact that increased zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The exact same concept relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Glass Lens Coatings
All modern rifle glass lenses are layered. Lens coating can be a crucial element of a shooting system when buying high end rifle optics and scope setups.
Info on Glass Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope makers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different procedures, polarizations, elements, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Optics
Different optic lenses can even have different coatings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or finishing applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. 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 types of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope maker and how much you spent for it. Both the make and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has numerous treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can establish that a manufacturer is taking numerous actions to combat various environmental elements like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally does not always imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in creating the rifle optic.
Hydrophobic Coating for Rifle Glass
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t support retaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Many top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It treats the surface area of the Steiner scope lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Optic Installation Choices
Mounting options 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 various kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Basic, clamp type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These types of scope mounts use double individual rings to support the optic, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are manufactured for long distance accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is ideal for rifle systems which need to have a long lasting, rock solid mount which will not shift despite how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you really want to have for a faithful scope system on a far away scouting or competition long gun that will almost never need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the mount screws to stop the hex screws from backing out after they are installed firmly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Scope Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar style mount, a number of scopes can often be swapped on the range. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach solidly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while retaining accuracy. These kinds of mounts are useful and practical for shooting platforms which are shipped a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are used between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics brand. It generally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle scope can wreck a day on the range and your costly optic by resulting in fogging and making residue within the scope tube. Many optics prevent wetness from going into the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Typically, these water-resistant optics can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of moisture content avoidance for standard use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are worried about the scope still working if it falls overboard and you can still retrieve the gun.
Scope Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less impacted by temp changes and pressure variations from the external environment which could possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
