What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through zoom using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account varied environmental considerations like wind and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing with the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are located internally and on the exterior of the optic. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
Rifle Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding on the perfect type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their aim point “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnification 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 measurement.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture without room taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Zoom for Glass
The level of scope magnification you need on your glass is based on the sort of shooting you plan to do. Almost every type of rifle optic gives some level of magnification. The quantity of magnification a scope offers is identified by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This means what the shooter is observing through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not fluctuate because it is a fixed power optic.
About Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power adjustment is performed by using 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 suggested scope power settings and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Keep in mind that higher power scopes will not be as efficient as lower magnification level glass since excessive magnification can be a detractor. The exact same concept applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs adequate power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
About Rifle Glass Lens Finishes
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of glass lens coatings. Lens covering can be an important element of a rifle when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope systems. The lenses are among the most critical pieces of the glass because they are what your eye looks 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 direct sunlight and color discernibility.
About Rifle Glass Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope makers even use “HD” or high-definition lense coatings which take advantage of different processes, components, compounds, and polarizations to enhance separate color ranges and viewable definition through lenses. This high-definition finishing is commonly used with increased density glass which drops light’s chance to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable around things with well defined outlines as light hits the object from various angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Glass
Different scope lenses can also have various coatings 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 assembly. This is since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a covering placed on it so that the lens will be optimally usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. This suggests the lens has several treatments applied to them. If a lens receives several treatments, it can indicate that a manufacturer is taking multiple actions to combat various natural aspects like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally doesn’t necessarily mean the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends upon the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of materials used in building the rifle optic.
Anti-water Lens Coverings
Water on a lens does not help with retaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Numerous top of the line or high-end optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It provides protection for the surface area of the Steiner scope lens so the water particles can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Scope Installation Choices
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally come in quick release variations which use manual levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scope.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is wonderful for rifles which require a durable, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounts
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and take off a scope from a rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect solidly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while retaining accuracy. These types of mounts are useful and beneficial for shooting platforms which are carried a lot, to remove the glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are adopted in between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It normally costs around $250 USD
About Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Info Around Rifle Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less impacted by temp changes and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which might possibly enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
