Info About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through zoom by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to take into account separate natural things like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern rifle optics have around eleven parts which are arranged inside and on the exterior of the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The kind of focal plane an optic has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located in connection with the scopes zoom. It simply indicates the reticle is located behind or ahead of the magnifying lens of the optic. Picking the most reliable type of rifle optic depends on what sort of shooting or hunting you anticipate undertaking.
First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle before the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified distance. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without having “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are minor
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their aim point “hold over” and “lead” relationships for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scopes
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” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Scope Magnification
The amount of scope magnification you need on your optic depends on the style of shooting you would like to do. Nearly every style of rifle optic gives some degree of magnification. The quantity of magnification a scope supplies is identified by the dimension, density, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This signifies what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope or optic will have 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 kind of optic can not fluctuate considering that it is set from the factory.
Variable Power Lens Optic Info
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will note the magnification amount in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the zoom of the scope can be adjusted in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is accomplished by operating the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range Correlations
Here are some recommended scope powers and the distances where they could be successfully used. Always remember that higher power optics and scopes will not be as efficient as lower powered optics and scopes since increased magnification can be a bad thing. The same applies to longer distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Details on Lens Coverings
All top teir rifle glass lenses are layered. Lens finishing is a significant element of a rifle when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Optics
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use various techniques, chemicals, polarizations, and components to draw out various colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Optic Lens Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can even have various coatings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or finishing applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the finely 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 sunshine (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope company and just how much you paid for it. Both the manufacturer and amount are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking multiple steps to combat various environmental factors like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also does not always imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single layered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
What to Know About Anti-water Covering
Water on a scope lens does not improve maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Numerous top of the line and premium optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It deals with the exterior surfaces of the Steiner scope lens so the water particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Glass Mounting Choices
Mounting options for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also generally are made in quick release versions which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp style 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 accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is fine for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic 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 compatible style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for long guns which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between several rifles.
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle glass can spoil a day of shooting and your costly optic by resulting in fogging and producing residue inside of the scope’s tube. Many optics protect against humidity from going into the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these water resistant scopes can be immersed within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient humidity avoidance for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle boating and are worried about the optic still functioning if it is submerged in water and you can still retrieve the gun.
Gas Purged Glass Tubes
Another element of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less affected by climate changes and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which may potentially enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
