Optic Facts
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by utilizing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of different environmental aspects like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many modern rifle optics have about eleven parts which are found internally and outside of the optic. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets, focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of optics.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Considering the finest type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are very little
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” plus “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots take place within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture with less space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Rifle Glass Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope provides is determined by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic and scope uses 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 zoom of this kind of scope can not change considering that it is fixed.
Variable Power Lens Optic Facts
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified levels. The power modification is performed 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 Rifle Scopes
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they can be successfully used. Highly magnified scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification level scopes because too much magnification can be a bad thing. The very same idea goes for longer distances where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Lens Coating
All contemporary rifle optic lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of coatings. Lens coating can be a crucial element of a rifle’s setup when thinking of high-end rifle optics and scope systems. The lenses are one of the most important components of the scope as they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The coating on the lenses safeguards the lens surface area and also assists with anti glare capabilities from refracted sunlight and color perception.
Info on Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some optic producers even use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings that apply various procedures, aspects, compounds, and polarizations to draw out a wide range of color ranges and viewable target visibility through lenses. This high-def finish is commonly used with greater density lens glass which drops light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible over items with well defined outlines as light hits the object from various angles.
Rifle Glass Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different finishings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope designer and the amount you paid for it. The scope’s maker and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has had numerous treatments applied to them. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can show that a maker is taking multiple steps to combat different natural factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally does not necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is much better than a single coated lens. Being “better” is dependent on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of glass used in constructing the rifle glass.
What to Know About Anti-water Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish.
Choices for Installing Rifle Glass on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally are made in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly mount and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Scope Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use a pair of independent rings to support the optic, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long distance precision shooting. This form of scope mount is very good for rifle systems which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not move despite just how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a dedicated optics setup on a reach out and touch someone hunting or competitors rifle that will rarely need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the screws to keep the hex screws from backing out after they are installed safely in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from the Vortex Optics company. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
About Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Scope Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less influenced by climate shifts and pressure variations from the external environment which might 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 look for.
