Rifle Scope Info

Rifle scopes permit you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnification by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to take into account numerous ecological things like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.

The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many contemporary rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are located within and externally on the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.

Rifle Glass Varieties

Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Choosing the optimal type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.

First Focal Plane Optic Info

First focal plane optics (FFP) feature the reticle before the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the level of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non amplified range. For instance, 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 kinds of scopes are valuable for:

• Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
• Shooting situations where computations are minor
• Experienced shooters who have an idea for their aim point “hold over” and “lead” equations for their weapon
• Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle

Second Focal Plane Optics

Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind 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 estimations
• Shooting where most shots occur within shorter spaces and ranges
• Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture without room taken up by the bigger FFP reticle

Zoom for Scopes

The amount of scope zoom you need on your scope depends upon the sort of shooting you wish to do. Just about every type of rifle scope gives some level of zoom. The quantity of magnification a scope gives is determined by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The zoom of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This implies what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power element of what can typically be seen by human eyes.

Info on Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes

A single power rifle scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not adjust given that it is a fixed power optic.

Adjustable Power Lens Scope Details

Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power modification is accomplished by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.

The Power Level and Range of Glass

Here are some recommended scope power settings and the distances where they may be successfully used. Highly magnified rifle scope glass will not be as efficient as lower powered glass due to the fact that too much magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same idea applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.

About Lens Coverings

All top of the line rifle scope and optic lenses are covered. Lens finishing can be an essential element of a shooting platform when looking into high end rifle optics and scope setups.

ED Versus HD Rifle Glass

Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various methods, polarizations, chemicals, and components to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.

Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating for Glass

Different optic lenses can also have various coverings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a finishing placed on it so that it will be optimally usable in lots of kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.

Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less helpful 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 money you spent on it. Both the manufacturer and amount are indications of the lens quality.

Some scope makers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This suggests the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets several treatments, it can establish that a manufacturer is taking multiple steps to fight various natural elements like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also does not necessarily mean the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of glass used in building the rifle scope.

Anti-water Lens Coatings

Water on a lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic anti-water covering.

Alternatives for Installing Scopes on Long Guns

Installing approaches for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the scope.

Hex Key Scope Ring Mounting Solutions

Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style 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 are created for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which require a long lasting, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.

Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Rings

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. Numerous scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between several rifles or are situationally focused.

Info on Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging

Wetness inside your rifle glass can wreck a day on the range and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and producing residue within the scope’s tube. The majority of optics protect against moisture from going into the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Usually, these scopes can be submerged beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient humidity avoidance for basic use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle aboard a watercraft and are worried about the optic still working if it goes over the side and you can still salvage the firearm.

Gas Purged Optic Tubes

Another component of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of 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 scope is less altered by temp changes and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which might potentially allow 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.
