Rifle Scope Information
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to account for varied natural things like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are located internally and externally on the scope. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a scope.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Picking the perfect type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are very little
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane glass (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to stay at the exact same scale in connection with the quantity of zoom being used. The end result is that the reticle dimensions adapt based on the zoom chosen to shoot over lengthier distances given that the reticle measurements present various increments which differ with the zoom. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These types of scopes are convenient for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots happen within shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture with less room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Zoom for Optics
The amount of scope zoom you need on your glass depends upon the form of shooting you wish to do. Practically every type of rifle glass offers some level of zoom. The quantity of zoom a scope offers is determined by the size, density, and curves of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This denotes what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle scope uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not fluctuate considering that it is fixed.
Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power modification is handled by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some advised scope power levels and the ranges where they could be effectively used. Bear in mind that high power scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification level scopes due to the fact that increased zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs adequate power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
Rifle Scope Lens Finish
All modern-day rifle scope and optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of glass finishes. Lens covering can be an important element of a rifle’s setup when considering luxury rifle optics and scope equipment. The glass lenses are among the most crucial parts of the glass due to the fact that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The coating on the lenses shields the lens exterior and also assists with anti glare capabilities from refracted sunrays and color profiles.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some rifle scope companies even use “HD” or high-definition glass coverings which make the most of various processes, aspects, polarizations, and chemicals to enhance various colors and viewable definition through lenses. This HD finishing is typically used with greater density glass which drops light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to describe “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious around items with hard edges and outlines as light hits the item from various angles.
Single Rifle Scope Lens Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have different coverings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve 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 covered lens depends upon the scope manufacturer and the amount you paid for it. The scope’s maker and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Finish for Rifle Scopes
Water on an optic’s lens doesn’t improve keeping a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Many top of the line or premium scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It treats the surface of the Steiner scope lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Firearms
Installing solutions for scopes can be found in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also normally can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly mount and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Scope Ring Mounts
Standard, clamp-on type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use double independent rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are made for far away precision shooting. This form of scope mount is great for rifles which are in need of a durable, rock solid mount which will not shift no matter how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you want for a dedicated optics setup on a long distance hunting or tournament firearm that will seldom need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the screws to stop the hex screw threads from backing out after they are installed tightly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a comparable style mount, several scopes can also be swapped out on the range. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect firmly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while maintaining accuracy. These kinds of mounts come in convenient for shooting platforms which are carried a lot, to take off the scope from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are employed between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It usually costs around $250 USD
Details on Rifle Glass 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 making residue inside of the scope tube. Most optics prevent humidity from getting in the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these water resistant optics can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of humidity prevention for basic use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are worried about the scope still functioning if it falls overboard and you can still salvage the gun.
Details on Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less altered by temp shifts and pressure variations from the outside environment which may potentially enable water vapor to seep 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.
