Rifle Scope Details
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through zoom using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for consideration of numerous ecological elements like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are arranged inside and outside of the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The kind of focal plane an optic has decides where the reticle or crosshair lies relative to the optic’s magnifying adjustments. It literally implies the reticle is behind or before the magnifying lens of the optic. Choosing the most suitable style of rifle scope is based on what kind of hunting or shooting you anticipate doing.
First Focal Plane Glass Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are small
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same scale relative to the volume of magnification being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements adapt based on the magnification chosen to shoot over longer ranges considering that the reticle measurements represent distinct increments which differ with the magnification. In the FFP illustration with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These sorts of glass work for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture without area used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Glass Zoom
The quantity of scope magnification you need is based on the style of shooting you intend to do. Nearly every type of rifle scope offers some level of zoom. The amount of zoom a scope provides is determined by the diameter, density, and curves of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This denotes what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Info on Fixed Single Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle scope comes with a magnification 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 type of scope can not change considering that it is fixed.
Info About Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the zoom level in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This always involves the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is achieved by applying the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power and Range Correlation
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they could be efficiently used. Always remember that high power scopes and optics will not be as practical as lower powered scopes due to the fact that excessive magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same goes for extended distances where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Lens Finish for Scopes
All top of the line rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens finishing can be a vital element of a shooting platform when looking at high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
Details on Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use various procedures, components, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Glass Lens Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single covered lens depends upon the scope company and how much you spent for it. The scope’s maker and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can show that a producer is taking several actions to fight different environmental aspects like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also does not always suggest the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single layered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the producer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Finishing for Glass
Water on an optical lens does not assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and premium optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It treats the surface of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Scope Installing Options
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally are made in quick release versions which use toss levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
Standard, clamp-on type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use two independent rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are made for far away precision shooting. This kind of scope mount is good for rifles which need a durable, hard use mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should get for a specialized optics setup on a reach out and touch someone scouting or sniper competition long gun that will almost never need to be modified or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used to stop the hex screws from backing out after they are installed firmly in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm style from Vortex Optics. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and detach a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, a number of scopes can often be swapped out. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach nicely to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving accuracy. These types of mounts come in handy for shooting platforms which are shipped a lot, to take off the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are adopted between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your highly-priced optic by resulting in fogging and creating residue within the scope’s tube. Many scopes protect against humidity from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Normally, these water-resistant optics can be immersed within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient moisture prevention for standard use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you anticipate taking your rifle on your motorboat and are concerned about the optic still performing if it is submerged in water and you can still retrieve the gun.
Info on Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less impacted by temperature level shifts and pressure distinctions from the external 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 decent rifle scope to seek out.
