Scope Info
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for consideration of varied environmental considerations like wind and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing using the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many contemporary rifle optics have about 11 parts which are located internally and outside of the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a scope.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Selecting the best type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Optic Facts
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are very little
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their rifles
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the very same size in relation to the volume of magnification being used. The end result is that the reticle dimensions change based on the magnification applied to shoot over longer distances considering the markings represent various increments which vary with the magnification. In the FFP illustration with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These varieties of optics are useful for:
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture with less space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Glass Zoom
The amount of scope zoom you require is based on the type of shooting you want to do. Almost every kind of rifle scope supplies some degree of magnification. The quantity of zoom a scope offers is determined by the dimension, density, and curves of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnifying level 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 generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic or scope will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not change because it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the zoom degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the zoom of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This always involves the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is accomplished utilizing the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope power levels and the distances where they may be efficiently used. Highly magnified rifle scope glass will not be as useful as lower magnification level optics considering too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same concept goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs adequate power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Details on Rifle Glass Lens Covering
All cutting-edge rifle optic and scope lenses are coated. Lens finish can be a significant aspect of a rifle’s setup when considering high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some optic suppliers will also use “HD” or high-def lense coverings which make the most of different processes, chemicals, elements, and polarizations to enhance different color ranges and viewable target visibility through lenses. This HD finishing is commonly used with increased density glass which lowers light’s chance to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to describe “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible around objects with hard shapes as light hits the object from certain angles.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Glass
Different optic lenses can even have various finishes applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some kind of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. Since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a finish put on it so that the lens will be optimally usable in lots of types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while minimizing 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 just how much you spent for it. Both the manufacturer and amount are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has had multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens receives several treatments, it can prove that a producer is taking several actions to fight different natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also doesn’t necessarily indicate the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle optic.
Hydrophobic Rifle Scope Lens Coating
Water on a lens doesn’t help with retaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and premium scope producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It deals with the surface of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Installing Glass on Long Guns
Installing approaches for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also usually come in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and remove the optics.
Hex Key Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
Normal, 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 different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is fine for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Glass Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be swapped 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 attach firmly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while maintaining precision. These kinds of mounts are useful and beneficial for rifles which are moved around a lot, to take off the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are utilized in between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics brand. It generally costs around $250 USD
What to Know About Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can wreck a day of shooting and your highly-priced optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope’s tube. The majority of optics protect against humidity from getting in the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these optics can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of wetness prevention for basic use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle sailing and are worried about the optic still functioning if it goes over the side and you can still salvage the gun.
Rifle Scope Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less altered by condition alterations and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could possibly allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
