Rifle Scope Info
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account numerous natural things like wind speed and elevation 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 through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are found within and outside of the optic. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
About Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding on the perfect type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass Facts
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the same tick at 100 yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and “lead” equations for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Details
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom 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 forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots take place within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture with less room used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Scopes
The amount of magnification a scope provides is figured out by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope and optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not fluctuate since it is a fixed power optic.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optic Facts
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power adjustment is performed by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some suggested scope powers and the ranges where they could be effectively used. Bear in mind that high power optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level optics because increased zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The exact same idea goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Lens Finishes
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are coated. There are different types and qualities of lens finishings. When looking at luxury rifle optics and scope setups, Lens finishing can be a very important element of a rifle. The lenses are among the most critical components of the optic as they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The covering on the lenses protects the lens surface and also assists with anti glare from excess daylight and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some rifle glass makers additionally use “HD” or high-definition glass finishes which apply different processes, components, chemical substances, and polarizations to extract different colors and viewable target visibility through the lens. This high-definition finish is normally used with greater density glass which lowers light’s chance to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be noticeable over items with hard shapes as light hits the object from various angles.
Info on Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends upon the scope company and just how much you paid for it. The scope’s maker and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope makers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets several treatments, it can show that a maker is taking numerous actions to fight different environmental elements like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also does not necessarily indicate the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the maker’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of glass used in developing the rifle optic.
What to Know About Anti-water Finishing
Water on an optic’s lens does not assist with retaining a clear sight picture through a scope whatsoever. Numerous top of the line and premium optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the surface of the Steiner optic lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads slide off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Optic Installing Options
Installing approaches for scopes are available in a few options. 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 normally come in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the glass.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount 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 are created for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is excellent for rifles which require a durable, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between multiple rifles.
Info on Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Glass Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less affected by temperature alterations and pressure differences from the outside environment which could potentially permit 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 seek out.
