Rifle Optic Information
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnifying the target by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to account for separate natural factors like wind and elevation increases 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 viewing via the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many contemporary rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are located internally and outside of the scope. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Picking the optimal type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are minor
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the same overall size in connection with the quantity of magnification being used. The final result is that the reticle dimensions shift based on the magnification applied to shoot over greater distances given that the reticle measurements present various increments which vary with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These sorts of optics are convenient for:
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture with less space taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Magnification for Glass
The extent of scope magnification you need on your scope is based on the kind of shooting you intend to do. Practically every kind of rifle optic provides some level of magnification. The quantity of magnification a scope supplies is determined by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This means what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Info About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle scope or optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of scope can not fluctuate considering that it is fixed.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optic Facts
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification increments. It will note the zoom degree in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope could be set in between 2x and 10x power. This also includes the powers 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 piece.
Rifle Glass Power Level and Ranges
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they could be efficiently used. Keep in mind that higher power glass will not be as practical as lower magnification level scopes since excessive zoom can be a bad thing. The same goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Info on Lens Coating
All contemporary rifle optic and scope lenses are layered. There are various types and qualities of lens finishings. When thinking about high end rifle targeting setups, Lens coating can be a significant aspect of defining the rifle’s capability. The lenses are among the most critical parts of the scope given that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses shields the lens surface area and assists with anti glare capabilities from excess sunrays and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope producers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different procedures, chemicals, components, and polarizations to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Rifle Scope Lens Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have different finishings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to 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 layered lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Covering for Scopes
Water on a scope’s lens does not help with retaining a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Numerous top of the line or premium optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It deals with the surface of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads slide off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Scope Installation Choices
Installing options for scopes are available in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also typically are made in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the scope.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Rings
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 separate rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is created for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which need a resilient, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly 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 compatible design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
About Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Scope Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less affected by condition shifts and pressure variations from the outside environment which may potentially allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
