Scope Information
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by employing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for the consideration of many environmental elements like wind and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing via the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Most modern rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are arranged within and on the exterior of the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
Rifle Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding upon the optimal type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info About First Focal Plane Glass
First focal plane glass (FFP) come with the reticle before the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on the level of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the very same scale in connection with the quantity of zoom being used. The final result is that the reticle dimensions alter based on the zoom used to shoot over lengthier distances due to the fact that the reticle measurements represent distinct increments which vary with the zoom level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These particular types of glass are beneficial for:
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who select a clearer optic picture with less area taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Details on Glass Zoom
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 zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change since it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will note the zoom degree in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers imply the zoom of the scope could be set between 2x and 10x power. This always utilizes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is accomplished by applying the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Optic Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Consider that high power optics and scopes will not be as efficient as lower powered optics due to the fact that too much magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same idea goes for extended distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Scope Lens Finishing
All top of the line rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens coating can be a significant element of a shooting system when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope systems.
About Rifle Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some glass producers even use “HD” or high-definition glass finishings which employ different processes, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to extract separate color ranges and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-definition finish is commonly used with increased density glass which decreases light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible around items with hard shapes as light hits the object from various angles.
Details on Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Finishes
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and high-end optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering.
Options for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also usually can be found in quick release variations which use manual levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Normal, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is excellent for rifles which need a durable, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and take off a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Optic Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can destroy a day on the range and your highly-priced optic by inducing fogging and generating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes protect against wetness from entering the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Usually, these water resistant optics can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient moisture avoidance for conventional use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle on a boat and are worried about the scope still functioning if it is submerged in water and you can still retrieve the firearm.
Scope Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less altered by temperature level alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which may possibly enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
