Optic Facts
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by utilizing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to account for different natural factors like wind and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing with the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. The majority of modern rifle optics have around 11 parts which are located within and outside of the optic. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of optics.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The style of focal plane an optic has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies in relation to the scopes magnifying adjustments. It simply indicates the reticle is located behind or before the magnifying lens of the scope. Selecting the most ideal type of rifle glass is based on what type of hunting or shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non magnified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the identical tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” equations for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to stay at the very same size in connection with the amount of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements adjust based on the zoom used to shoot over longer distances because the reticle measurements represent various increments which differ with the magnification level. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These styles of glass work for:
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture with less space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
About Scope Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope provides is determined 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 Facts
A single power rifle optic and scope uses a zoom 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 scope can not change because it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optic Info
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification levels. It will note the magnification level in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the zoom of the scope could be set in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is accomplished by making use of the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they could be effectively used. High power rifle scope glass will not be as effective as lower powered rifle scope glass since too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same concept goes for longer distances where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Rifle Glass Lens Finishing
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are coated. There are different types and qualities of glass finishes. Lens coating is an important element of a rifle’s setup when thinking about high-end rifle optics and scope systems. The glass lenses are among the most key parts of the scope given that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The covering on the lenses shields the lens surface area and even assists with anti glare from refracted sunshine and color exposure.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various techniques, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out different colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Glass Lens Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can also have various coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be efficiently usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to 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 coated lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Finishes
Water on a lens doesn’t help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing which is water repellent.
Rifle Glass Mounting Alternatives
Mounting options for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which permit rifle operators to quickly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Scope 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 separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which require a resilient, rock solid 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 connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Details on Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes prevent moisture 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 within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less impacted by climate shifts and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which could potentially 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 seek out.
