What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through zoom by making use of a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to take into account various ecological aspects like wind and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are located inside and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Finding the finest type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle before the magnification lens. This triggers 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 range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their firearm
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include 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.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture without area used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Scopes
The quantity of zoom a scope provides is identified 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 Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not adjust since it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Glass Facts
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification power levels. It will list the zoom amount in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope could be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This always includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is achieved by working with the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the distances where they may be successfully used. Highly magnified glass will not be as useful as lower magnification rifle scope glass considering that too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The exact same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Scope Lens Coating
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are coated. Lens finish is an essential element of a rifle when buying high end rifle optics and scope setups.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle glass manufacturers even use “HD” or high-def lense finishes which employ different procedures, elements, rare earth compounds, and polarizations to enhance different color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-def finish is often used with increased density glass which reduces light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable around things with hard edges and outlines as light hits the object from various angles.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Scopes
Various optic lenses can even have various coverings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or covering applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a finishing placed on it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing 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 upon the scope developer and how much money you spent paying for it. Both are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope makers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has numerous treatments applied to them. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking numerous steps to fight various environmental elements like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally does not necessarily suggest the multi-coated lens is much better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of glass used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Rifle Glass Lens Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering which is water repellent.
Choices for Installing Scopes on Firearms
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally can be found in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle operators to quickly mount and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
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 separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which require a durable, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly 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 similar design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifle platforms which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Optic Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less impacted by temperature shifts and pressure distinctions from the external environment which may potentially permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
