Rifle Scope Facts
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to account for numerous environmental aspects like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many contemporary rifle optics have around 11 parts which are found within and externally on the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Opting for the finest type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their firearm
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Zoom for Scopes
The level of scope magnification you need on your scope depends upon the sort of shooting you wish to do. Practically every type of rifle optic offers some degree of magnification. The amount of magnification a scope gives is determined by the size, density, and curvatures of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This indicates what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with 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 type of optic can not change since it is set from the factory.
Adjustable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification increments. These types of scopes will list the zoom degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope could be set in between 2x and 10x power. This also incorporates the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is accomplished by employing the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Optic Power and Ranges
Here are some recommended scope powers and the distances where they can be successfully used. Consider that higher power optics will not be as practical as lower powered scopes due to the fact that increased zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same concept relates to longer distances where the shooter needs adequate power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Lens Covering for Glass
All top teir rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens coating can be a significant aspect of a rifle’s setup when looking at high end rifle optics and scope systems.
Info on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope producers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use various techniques, aspects, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various coatings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or covering used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered 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 layered or “multi” coated. This means the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can show that a producer is taking numerous steps to fight different environmental elements like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally doesn’t necessarily mean the multi-coated lens is better than a single coated lens. Being “better” depends upon the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of components used in constructing the rifle glass.
Rifle Glass Lens Anti-water Covering
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating.
Rifle Optic Installing Alternatives
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also normally can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Ring Mounts
Standard, clamp design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a pair of separate rings to support the scope, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are manufactured for far away accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is very good for rifle systems which are in need of a resilient, rock solid mount which will not move no matter just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you really want to have for a faithful optics system on a long distance scouting or hard target interdiction firearm which will rarely need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the screws to keep the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted firmly in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics company. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Scope Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for long guns which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
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 already taken up by the gas, the scope is less influenced by temp changes and pressure variations from the outside environment which might possibly enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
