What You Need to Know About Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through zoom by using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to account for numerous environmental things like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to account 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 seeing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of contemporary rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are arranged inside and externally on the scope. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation turrets, focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The form of focal plane a scope has identifies where the reticle or crosshair lies in connection with the optic’s zoom. It simply indicates the reticle is behind or before the magnification lens of the scope. Choosing the most beneficial kind of rifle optic depends upon what sort of shooting or hunting you anticipate undertaking.
First Focal Plane Scope Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These types of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are low
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and “lead” equations for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture with less space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Zoom for Rifle Scopes
The quantity of magnification a scope offers is figured out by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not change because it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Optic Details
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power adjustment is achieved using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they may be successfully used. Consider that high magnification optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level glass because increased magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Scope Lens Coating
All modern rifle optic lenses are layered. There are various types and qualities of glass lens finishings. Lens finishing can be a crucial aspect of a rifle’s setup when thinking of luxury rifle optics and targeting units. The glass lenses are one of the most critical parts of the glass considering they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses safeguards the lens surface as well as assists with anti glare from excess light and color discernibility.
Details on Rifle Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope producers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use different techniques, aspects, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less beneficial 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 producers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has had multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens gets several treatments, it can show that a producer is taking multiple actions to combat various environmental elements like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also does not necessarily imply the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single layered lens. Being “better” hinges on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle glass.
Anti-water Covering for Rifle Optics
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with keeping 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.
Rifle Glass Installing Options
Installing approaches for scopes are available in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also usually can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Rings
Basic, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These forms of scope mounts use two individual rings to support the optic, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are manufactured for long distance precision shooting. This form of scope mount is excellent for rifle systems which require a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not change no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should have for a dedicated scope setup on a far away scouting or sniper competition firearm that will almost never need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on screws to keep the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are installed securely in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach tightly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping the original sighting settings. These types of mounts are useful and beneficial for shooting platforms which are transferred between vehicles a lot, to remove the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used between multiple rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
What to Know About Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Details on Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less impacted by temp shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which could potentially allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
