All About Optics

Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnification by using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account numerous natural things like wind and elevation increases 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 through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. A lot of modern rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are located inside and externally on the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation turrets, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.

The Varieties of Rifle Scopes

Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The kind of focal plane a scope has identifies where the reticle or crosshair lies in relation to the scopes zoom. It actually indicates the reticle is behind or before the magnification lens of the scope. Picking out the most suitable style of rifle glass depends upon what type of shooting or hunting you intend on undertaking.

Info About First Focal Plane Optics

First focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle ahead of the magnification lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on 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 amplified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the identical tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are practical for:

• Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
• Shooting circumstances where computations are small
• Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and “lead” equations for their rifles
• Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle

Info on Second Focal Plane Glass

Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnification 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 types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
• Shooting where most shots occur within shorter ranges and proximities
• Shooters who select a clearer optic sight picture without room used up by the bigger FFP reticle

Magnification for Glass

The quantity of zoom a scope provides is identified by the diameter, thickness, 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 Facts

A single power rifle optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not change since it is a fixed power scope.

About Adjustable Power Lens Scopes

Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power modification is performed using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.

Rifle Scope Power Level and Range Correlation

Here are some recommended scope powers and the distances where they can be efficiently used. Always remember that high magnification glass will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics and scopes because increased zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The very same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see where to properly aim the rifle.

Lens Finish for Glass

All modern-day rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens finish is a crucial aspect of a rifle’s setup when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope setups.

HD Versus ED Lenses

Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use various processes, polarizations, chemicals, and aspects to draw out different colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.

What to Know About Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating

Various optic lenses can also have various finishings used to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.

Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and the amount you spent for it. Both the manufacturer and amount are indicators of the lens quality.

Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.

Details on Anti-water Covering

Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t improve maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It treats the surface area of the Steiner scope lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.

Optic Installing Options

Installing approaches for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally come in quick release versions which use manual levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly mount and remove the scopes.

Optic 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 created for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which need a durable, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.

Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings

These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are convenient for rifles which are transferred a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used between multiple rifles.

What to Know About Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging

Wetness inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.

Gas Purged Glass Tubes

Another component of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less affected by condition shifts and pressure variations from the outside environment which may possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
