What You Need to Know About Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target by employing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for consideration of varied environmental aspects like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing via the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. The majority of contemporary rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are found internally and externally on the optic. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets or dials, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of optics.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The sort of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the scopes magnification. It actually implies the reticle is located behind or ahead of the magnification lens of the scope. Choosing the most effective kind of rifle optic is based on what type of hunting or shooting you intend on undertaking.
Info About First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane optics (FFP) come with the reticle before the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non amplified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These types 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 “lead” ratios for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture with less space taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Optic Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope provides is determined by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not adjust since it is fixed.
Info on Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification power levels. These types of scopes will list the magnification amount in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope can be set between 2x and 10x power. This additionally involves 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.
Glass Power and Ranges
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they can be successfully used. Bear in mind that higher magnification glass will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics since increased zoom can be a detractor. The same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Scope Lens Finish
All modern-day rifle scope and optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of lens coatings. Lens finish is an essential aspect of a rifle when looking into high-end rifle optics and targeting systems. The lenses are one of the most essential components of the scope considering that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finish on the lenses protects the lens surface and even improves anti glare from excess sunshine and color profiles.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some glass companies even use “HD” or high-def lens finishes which employ different procedures, polarizations, components, and chemicals to extract numerous color ranges and viewable definition through the lens. This HD coating is frequently used with increased density glass which lowers light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often visible over things with defined shapes as light hits the object from particular angles.
What to Know About Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have various coatings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while lowering 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 designer and how much you spent paying for it. The scope’s maker and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope makers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Coverings
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t support keeping a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Numerous top of the line or high-end optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the surface area of the Steiner scope lens so the water particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Optic Installation Choices
Installing solutions for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also typically can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Normal, clamp style 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 often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is fine for rifles which require a durable, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a comparable design mount, a number of scopes can also be switched out in the field. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten solidly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while retaining accuracy. These kinds of mounts are useful and practical for shooting platforms which are moved around a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are adopted between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and making residue inside of the scope’s tube. Most optics prevent moisture from getting in the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these water resistant optics can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient humidity prevention for basic use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle on boats and are concerned about the optic still working if it goes over the side and you can still find the rifle.
Gas Purged Glass Tubes
Another element of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less affected by condition changes and pressure distinctions from the external environment which might possibly enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
