Rifle Optic Info
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to account for many natural considerations 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 hit based on the sight picture you are seeing via the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most modern rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are located internally and on the exterior of the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials or turrets, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a scope.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding on the optimal type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the same overall size in relation to the volume of zoom being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements adjust based upon the zoom chosen to shoot over lengthier ranges given that the reticle measurements represent distinct increments which can vary with the zoom level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These types of glass work for:
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture without area taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Optic Magnification
The amount of magnification a scope provides is determined 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.
Single Power Lens Rifle Scope Info
A single power rifle optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change given that it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Scope Facts
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification levels. It will list the magnification degree in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the zoom of the scope could be changed between 2x and 10x power. This additionally involves the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is accomplished by employing the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power and Range
Here are some advised scope power settings and the ranges where they can be effectively used. High power rifle scope glass will not be as beneficial as lower magnification optics considering that too much magnification can be a bad thing. The very same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Info on Scope Lens Coverings
All top teir rifle glass lenses are coated. Lens finishing is an important element of a shooting platform when looking at high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
ED Versus HD Rifle Glass
Some optic manufacturers will also use “HD” or high-def lense coatings that apply various procedures, rare earth compounds, elements, and polarizations to draw out numerous colors and viewable definition through the lens. This high-def coating is typically used with more costly high density glass which lowers light’s chance to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be visible around things with well defined outlines as light hits the item from particular angles.
About Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have different coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield 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 upon the scope company and how much you spent paying for it. Both the manufacturer and amount are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coverings
Water on an optic’s lens doesn’t support retaining a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Many top of the line and premium scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It treats the surface of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Installing Optics on Firearms
Mounting solutions for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also typically come in quick release versions which use manual levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Glass Rings
Standard, 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 is designed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope mount is fine for rifles which need a durable, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly take off a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are handy for long guns which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used in between numerous rifles.
What to Know About Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes prevent moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another component of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less impacted by temperature shifts and pressure distinctions from the external environment which could potentially permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
