What You Need to Know About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely align 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 inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for the consideration of separate environmental elements like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern-day rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are arranged internally and outside of the optic. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
About Scope Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Selecting the perfect type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These types of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle behind 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 kinds of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who select a clearer optic sight picture without room taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Scope Magnification
The extent of scope magnification you require depends upon the style of shooting you like to do. Just about every style of rifle optic offers some level of magnification. The amount of zoom a scope provides is determined by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The magnifying level of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This implies what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic or scope will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change considering that it is set from the factory.
About Variable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification levels. It will list the zoom degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope can be set between 2x and 10x power. This also includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is accomplished by applying the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Glass
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they could be successfully used. Highly magnified glass will not be as useful as lower powered rifle scope glass considering too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea applies to longer distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
About Lens Finishes
All contemporary rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. Lens coating is an essential aspect of a rifle when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some optic companies even use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings that take advantage of different procedures, polarizations, rare earth compounds, and elements to draw out a wide range of color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-definition coating is normally used with greater density glass which reduces light’s potential to refract through the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious around objects with defined outlines as light hits the item from various angles.
Scope Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have various finishings applied to them. All lenses normally 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 decreasing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered 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 layered or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Rifle Optic Lens Hydrophobic Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering.
Choices for Mounting Rifle Optics on Long Guns
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
Standard, clamp design 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 a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is designed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which need a resilient, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even 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 remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between several rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Scope Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle scope can spoil a day on the range and your costly optic by resulting in fogging and developing residue inside of the scope’s tube. A lot of optics prevent wetness from entering the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Normally, these water resistant optics can be submerged underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of moisture prevention for basic use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle boating and are concerned about the optic still working if it is submerged in water and you can still retrieve the gun.
About Rifle Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less influenced by temp alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which could possibly permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
