Rifle Optic Facts
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to take into account various environmental factors like wind speed and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing using the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Most modern-day rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are found internally and externally on the scope body. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
About Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The type of focal plane a scope has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located in connection with the scopes magnification. It literally indicates the reticle is behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the optic. Looking for the best kind of rifle optic depends on what kind of shooting or hunting you intend on doing.
First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This induces 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 range as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” plus “lead” relationships for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same overall size in connection with the amount of zoom being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements change based on the magnification chosen to shoot over longer ranges given that the markings represent different increments which differ with the magnification level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These particular styles of optics work for:
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture without area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Optic Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope provides is figured out by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle scope or optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not adjust since it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optic Details
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is achieved by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they could be successfully used. Keep in mind that higher power glass will not be as efficient as lower powered scope and optics because excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The same idea goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
About Scope Lens Finish
All modern rifle scope and optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of glass finishes. When thinking about high end rifle optical devices, Lens finish can be an important element of a rifle. The lenses are one of the most vital pieces of the optic due to the fact that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finishing on the lenses safeguards the lens exterior and even improves anti glare capabilities from excess direct sunlight and color profiles.
Details on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some glass makers will also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which make the most of different processes, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to enhance a wide range of colors and viewable definition through lenses. This HD finishing is commonly used with greater density glass which brings down light’s opportunity to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible over items with hard outlines as light hits the object from certain angles.
Single Scope Lens Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various coatings used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can establish that a company is taking numerous steps to fight different environmental elements like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally doesn’t always mean the multi-coated lens is much better than a single coated lens. Being “better” hinges on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in building the rifle optic.
Glass Lens Hydrophobic Covering
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish.
Options for Mounting Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also typically are made in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
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 different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which require a resilient, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and take off a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifle platforms which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Optic Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by bringing about 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 water resistant.
Info on Rifle Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the buildup of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less altered by temperature alterations and pressure variations from the outside environment which might possibly allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
