Info Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to take into account many natural things like wind and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many modern rifle optics have about 11 parts which are located within and on the exterior of the optic. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets or dials, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The type of focal plane an optic has identifies where the reticle or crosshair lies in regard to the scopes zoom. It actually indicates the reticle is situated behind or before the magnifying lens of the optic. Picking the most suitable form of rifle optic is dependent on what kind of shooting or hunting you intend on undertaking.
Info About First Focal Plane Glass
First focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the very same tick at 100 yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and “lead” relationships for their firearm
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the very same dimensions relative to the level of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements adapt based on the zoom used to shoot over longer distances since the reticle measurements present various increments which can vary with the magnification level. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular types of scopes work for:
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Scope Zoom
The measure of scope zoom you need on your optic depends on the style of shooting you want to do. Pretty much every type of rifle glass gives some amount of zoom. The level of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the size, thickness, and curves of the lenses within the rifle optic. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This denotes what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle scope or optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not fluctuate given that it is fixed.
Info About Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification levels. These types of scopes will note the magnification level in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers imply the zoom of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally utilizes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is achieved by employing the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power and Range of Optics
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they may be efficiently used. Highly magnified glass will not be as efficient as lower powered glass since too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The exact same concept applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Lens Finishing
All modern-day rifle scope and optic lenses are covered. Lens covering is an important element of a rifle’s setup when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
About Glass Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some glass producers even use “HD” or high-def glass coverings which employ various processes, rare earth compounds, polarizations, and components to enhance separate colors and viewable definition through the lens. This high-def finishing is often used with more costly, high density lens glass which lowers light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to describe “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often visible around items with well defined outlines as light hits the item from certain angles.
Rifle Glass Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have different coatings used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Optic Lens Anti-water Finish
Water on a lens doesn’t support retaining a clear sight picture through a scope whatsoever. Many top of the line or high-end optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior of the Steiner glass lens so the water particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads slide off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Glass on Firearms
Installing options for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly install and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These forms of scope mounts use two detached rings to support the scope, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is very good for rifle systems which are in need of a resilient, unfailing mount which will not move despite just how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you want for a devoted optics system on a long distance hunting or competition firearm which will seldom need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the mount screws to keep the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are installed securely in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics company. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and remove a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, multiple scopes can often be swapped out on the range. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect nicely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This enables 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 types of mounts come in beneficial for shooting platforms which are moved around a lot, to take off the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between several rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics brand. It normally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Scope Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
What to Know About Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the buildup of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less affected by climate changes and pressure differences from the outside environment which may possibly enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
