What You Need to Know About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for consideration of different ecological considerations like wind and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are found internally and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation turrets or dials, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The kind of focal plane an optic has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the optic’s zoom. It simply suggests the reticle is situated behind or before the magnification lens of the optic. Looking for the most suitable style of rifle glass is based on what sort of shooting you plan on undertaking.
First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane optics (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified range as they are at the non magnified range. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without any “zoom” is still the same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are low
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture with less space taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Optic Zoom
The amount of zoom a scope supplies is determined by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Rifle Glass Info
A single power rifle optic and scope uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not adjust because it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification power levels. It will list the zoom amount in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope can be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This always includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is achieved by employing the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power Levels and Range Correlations
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they could be effectively used. Bear in mind that high power glass will not be as efficient as lower powered optics and scopes due to the fact that increased magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The exact same concept relates to extended ranges where the shooter needs to have enough power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Details on Lens Finish
All contemporary rifle optic lenses are coated. There are different types and qualities of glass lens finishes. Lens covering can be an essential element of a rifle’s setup when looking at high-end rifle optics and targeting systems. The glass lenses are among the most important parts of the glass considering that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finish on the lenses safeguards the lens surface and also helps with anti glare capabilities from excess natural light and color exposure.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some rifle glass companies even use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings that make the most of various procedures, polarizations, rare earth compounds, and elements to draw out numerous color ranges and viewable definition through the lens. This HD finish is commonly used with more costly high density lens glass which drops light’s potential to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to describe “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often visible around objects with defined shapes as light hits the item from various angles.
Info on Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different finishes used to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope maker 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 indicates the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives several treatments, it can establish that a manufacturer is taking multiple actions to combat various natural elements like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also does not necessarily imply the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” hinges on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of components used in creating the rifle glass.
Anti-water Rifle Optic Lens Coating
Water on a lens does not help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering.
Alternatives for Mounting Glass on Firearms
Installing solutions for scopes can be found in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also usually are made in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scopes.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
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 two different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which need a long lasting, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, several scopes can also be swapped out on the range. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten solidly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping accuracy. These kinds of mounts are useful and beneficial for rifles which are carried a lot, to take off the glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Info on Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can destroy a day on the range and your pricey optic by causing fogging and generating residue within the scope tube. Most optics prevent wetness from entering the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these optics can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient moisture prevention for conventional use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are concerned about the optic still functioning if it goes over the side and you can still recover the gun.
Rifle Scope Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less impacted by climate changes and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which might possibly allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
