About Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by making use of a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for consideration of various natural elements like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern-day rifle optics have around eleven parts which are located within and outside of the scope body. These scope parts consist of 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 sort of focal plane an optic has identifies where the reticle or crosshair lies in relation to the scopes zoom. It literally indicates the reticle is behind or ahead of the magnifying lens of the optic. Deciding on the most desired type of rifle glass depends on what sort of hunting or shooting you intend on doing.
First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle before the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the level of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at 100 yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the zoom 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 reticle measurement.
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
About Rifle Glass Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope offers is figured out 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.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle scope or optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies 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 since it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification levels. It will note the zoom degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope can be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This additionally involves the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is achieved utilizing the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power Level and Ranges
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the ranges where they can be successfully used. Keep in mind that high magnification optics will not be as efficient as lower powered optics because excessive zoom can be a detractor. The same concept applies to longer distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Lens Coating for Optics
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of glass lens finishings. When researching luxury rifle scope units, Lens finishing can be a significant aspect of defining the rifle’s capability. The glass lenses are among the most crucial components of the glass considering that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The coating on the lenses offers protection to the lens surface area as well as helps with anti glare capabilities from excess sunshine and color visibility.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use different processes, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
About Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different coverings applied 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.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope designer and how much money you spent on it. Both the manufacturer and amount are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
About Anti-water Finishing
Water on a scope lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Numerous top of the line or high-end scope makers 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 provides protection for the exterior of the Steiner optic 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 keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Optic Mounting Options
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly install and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Glass Ring Mounts
Standard, clamp design 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 a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is designed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is perfect for rifles which require a resilient, rock solid 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 attach 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 similar design mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are transferred a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
What to Know About Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Rifle Scope Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less influenced by temperature shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which could possibly permit 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 look for.
