Rifle Optic Facts
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom by using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for the consideration of numerous ecological things like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account 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 with the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern-day rifle optics have about 11 parts which are found internally and externally on the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The type of focal plane an optic has establishes where the reticle or crosshair is located in connection with the scopes magnifying adjustments. It actually suggests the reticle is located behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the optic. Picking out the most beneficial type of rifle optic depends on what sort of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and also “lead” relationships for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature 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.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture without room used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Zoom for Scopes
The quantity of zoom a scope provides is determined by the size, 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 Optic Info
A single power rifle optic and scope uses a zoom 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 since it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification power levels. It will list the magnification level in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is accomplished by employing the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range of Rifle Glass
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the distances where they can be effectively used. Remember that high power glass will not be as practical as lower magnification level scopes due to the fact that excessive zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same goes for longer distances where the shooter needs increased power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Details on Glass Lens Finish
All contemporary rifle optic and scope lenses are coated. Lens covering is a significant aspect of a shooting platform when looking at high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some glass companies additionally use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings that apply different procedures, polarizations, elements, and chemicals to extract different color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This HD covering is commonly used with increased density glass which drops light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to describe “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable around objects with well defined shapes as light hits the item from certain angles.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can even have various finishes applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is because the lens isn’t simply 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 optimally functional in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while decreasing 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 on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has had numerous treatments applied to them. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can prove that a producer is taking several steps to fight different environmental aspects like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not always mean the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” depends upon the producer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of components used in creating the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Coatings
Water on a lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing which is water repellent.
Options for Mounting Optics on Firearms
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also normally can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the optics.
Optic Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp style mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These styles of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the scope, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is exceptional for rifle systems which need a durable, hard use mount which will not shift despite how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should have for a dedicated optics system on a far away hunting or tournament firearm that will hardly ever need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the scope mount screws to keep the hex screw threads from backing out after they are installed safely in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by Vortex Optics. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Rifle Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever 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 also be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are convenient for rifles which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can wreck a day on the range and your pricey optic by inducing fogging and making residue inside of the scope’s tube. The majority of optics protect against wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Usually, these water resistant scopes can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample humidity avoidance for conventional use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are concerned about the optic still working if it goes overboard and you can still salvage the rifle.
Rifle Optic Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less influenced by condition changes and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which may potentially enable water vapor to permeate 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.
