What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by making use of a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted for consideration of varied environmental aspects like wind and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern-day rifle optics have around 11 parts which are found internally and externally on the scope. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding on the perfect type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane optics (FFP) feature the reticle ahead of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non magnified distance. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are small
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their firearm
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Facts
Second focal plane glass (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the exact same scale in connection with the quantity of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle dimensions shift based upon the magnification used to shoot over longer distances since the reticle measurements represent distinct increments which fluctuate with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These sorts of optics work for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture with less area taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Rifle Scope Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope supplies is determined 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.
Fixed Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not adjust considering that it is a fixed power scope.
Info About Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification power levels. These types of scopes will list the magnification amount in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the zoom of the scope can be changed between 2x and 10x power. This additionally involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is achieved by working with the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Rifle Glass Power and Range Correlation
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they may be efficiently used. High power rifle scope glass will not be as efficient as lower magnification glass considering that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same goes for extended distances where the shooter needs enough power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Rifle Scope Lens Coating
All cutting-edge rifle optic lenses are covered. Lens coating is an important element of a rifle when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope systems.
Details on Rifle Glass Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle scope companies will also use “HD” or high-def lens finishes which take advantage of various procedures, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to extract a wide range of color ranges and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-def covering is frequently used with greater density glass which reduces light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious over things with hard shapes as light hits the item from various angles.
Rifle Scope Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have different finishings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a coating applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently functional in lots of kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less advantageous 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 makers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Finishing for Glass
Water on a lens doesn’t help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish.
Choices for Mounting Scopes on Firearms
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the scope.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Basic, clamp-on style mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are manufactured for far away precision shooting. This form of scope mount is very good for rifle systems which require a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not shift no matter how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you really want to have for a devoted scope setup on a long distance scouting or competitors firearm that will rarely need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the mount screws to keep the hex screws from backing out after they are installed tightly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by Vortex Optics. The set usually costs around $200 USD
Glass Mounting Solutions 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. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect securely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving precision. These kinds of mounts come in beneficial for rifles which are hauled around a lot, to take off the glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are utilized between a number of 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 Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by resulting in fogging and making residue inside of the scope’s tube. The majority of scopes prevent moisture from entering the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these scopes can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough wetness avoidance for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are concerned about the scope still performing if it goes overboard and you can still salvage the rifle.
Info Around Rifle Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less influenced by temp shifts and pressure variations from the external environment which may potentially enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
