What You Need to Know About Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to account for varied natural considerations like wind and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing with the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are found within and externally on the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
Rifle Glass Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The form of focal plane a scope has decides where the reticle or crosshair lies in connection with the optic’s zoom. It simply means the reticle is located behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the optic. Choosing the most reliable style of rifle scope is based upon what type of shooting or hunting you anticipate doing.
First Focal Plane Scope Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their rifles
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (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 would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture without area used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Glass Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope provides is figured out 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.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Glass Details
A single power rifle optic and scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not adjust since it is a fixed power scope.
About Adjustable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power change is accomplished by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range Correlations
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they could be effectively used. Highly magnified glass will not be as effective as lower powered rifle scope glass given that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The very same idea applies to longer distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Scope Lens Finishing
All top of the line rifle glass lenses are layered. Lens covering is a crucial element of a rifle’s setup when looking at high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different processes, chemicals, polarizations, and elements to draw out separate colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Scopes
Various optic lenses can also have various coatings used to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can show that a company is taking several actions to fight various natural elements like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not always imply the multi-coated lens is much better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of components used in creating the rifle scope.
What to Know About Hydrophobic Finish
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing which is water repellent.
Rifle Optic Mounting Options
Installing approaches for scopes come in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also typically are made in quick release versions which use toss levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the optics.
Scope Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Standard, 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 a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is fine for rifles which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, multiple scopes can also be switched out in the field. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach securely to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while maintaining precision. These types of mounts come in beneficial for rifles which are transferred a lot, to remove the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are utilized between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
Info on Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
What to Know About Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less affected by climate shifts and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which may possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
