Scope Details
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnification using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for numerous environmental things like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern-day rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are located within and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of scopes.
Rifle Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The sort of focal plane an optic has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located relative to the optic’s zoom. It simply indicates the reticle is behind or ahead of the magnifying lens of the optic. Deciding on the most reliable form of rifle optic is based on what type of shooting or hunting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scope Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non magnified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are minor
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” as well as “lead” equations for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane glass (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnifying lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the exact same scale in connection with the quantity of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle measurements change based on the zoom applied to shoot over longer distances due to the fact that the markings present various increments which differ with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These types of scopes are convenient for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture with less space used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Glass Zoom
The quantity of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info About Fixed Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not adjust since it is set from the factory.
Info About Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification power levels. These types of scopes will list the magnification degree in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally incorporates the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished by employing the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some advised scope powers and the distances where they may be effectively used. High power scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification level glass since too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same concept relates to extended distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Rifle Glass Lens Coating
All state-of-the-art rifle scope lenses are covered. Lens coating is an essential element of a rifle’s setup when buying high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
ED Versus HD Optics
Some scope makers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various methods, polarizations, chemicals, and components to draw out separate colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Scopes
Various optic lenses can likewise have various finishings used to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single covered lens depends upon the scope maker and how much you spent for it. Both the make and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
What to Know About Hydrophobic Covering
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 scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing.
Options for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Firearms
Installing options for scopes come in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also generally come in quick release variations which use manual levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Glass Ring Mounts
Basic, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use double individual rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are designed for far away accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is exceptional for rifles which need a resilient, rock solid mount which will not shift regardless of just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you want for a faithful scope setup on a long distance hunting or competition firearm which will rarely need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the scope mount’s screws to keep the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted safely in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm style from Vortex Optics. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Rifle Scope Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly take off a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Optic Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle glass can spoil a day on the range and your highly-priced optic by resulting in fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of optics prevent wetness from getting in the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these water resistant scopes can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of humidity avoidance for basic use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle on boats and are concerned about the scope still performing if it goes over the side and you can still retrieve the firearm.
Rifle Glass Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the buildup of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less altered by temperature shifts and pressure variations from the outside environment which may potentially permit 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.
