All About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by utilizing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for consideration of varied natural elements like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern-day rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are found within and outside of the scope body. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Finding the finest type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These types of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are very little
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture with less area taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Glass Magnification
The amount of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not change considering that it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the zoom degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the zoom of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This also utilizes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is accomplished using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Scope Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they may be efficiently used. Always remember that higher power glass will not be as efficient as lower magnification level scope and optics since increased zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea relates to extended ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Details on Rifle Glass Lens Coating
All modern rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of glass finishes. When looking at high end rifle targeting setups, Lens finishing can be a crucial aspect of a rifle. The lenses are one of the most key components of the glass considering that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finish on the lenses offers protection to the lens surface and also helps with anti glare from excess sunshine and color discernibility.
Info on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some optic manufacturers even use “HD” or high-def glass coatings which take advantage of various processes, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to draw out different colors and viewable target definition through the lens. This HD finish is often used with more costly, high density lens glass which drops light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to describe “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible over objects with defined outlines as light hits the item from various angles.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating for Optics
Various scope lenses can also have various coatings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finish 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 is part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a coating put on it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in many types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less useful 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 makers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Rifle Optic Lens Covering
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t improve maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Numerous top of the line and high-end optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It deals with the exterior surfaces of the Steiner scope lens so the water particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Installing Glass on Firearms
Installing solutions for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also usually are made in quick release variations which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly install and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Scope Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope installation 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 is developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope mount is perfect for rifles which need a durable, sound 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 attach and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can spoil a day on the range and your expensive optic by resulting in fogging and producing residue within the scope’s tube. A lot of scopes prevent humidity from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Generally, these water-resistant optics can be immersed underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough wetness prevention for conventional use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are concerned about the scope still performing if it is submerged in water and you can still retrieve the firearm.
Gas Purged Rifle Optic Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less affected by temp changes and pressure differences from the external environment which could possibly permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
