What You Need to Know About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnification by using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to account for many ecological considerations like wind speed and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing with the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern-day rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are found internally and externally on the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
About Rifle Scope Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Selecting the perfect type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non magnified range. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without having “zoom” is still the exact same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Info
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the very same size relative to the volume of zoom being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements adjust based upon the magnification chosen to shoot over greater distances because the markings represent different increments which change with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These varieties of optics are convenient for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture with less area used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Glass Zoom
The amount of scope zoom you require is based on the style of shooting you plan to do. Practically every kind of rifle glass offers some degree of magnification. The level of magnification a scope supplies is established by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This suggests what the shooter is looking at through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic and scope will have 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 kind of optic can not fluctuate given that it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Scope Details
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power adjustment is handled by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range Correlation of Rifle Optics
Here are some advised scope power levels and the ranges where they can be successfully used. High power glass will not be as efficient as lower powered rifle scope glass since too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The exact same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Details on Lens Coatings
All contemporary rifle scope and optic lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of lens coatings. When thinking about luxury rifle targeting devices, Lens covering can be a crucial aspect of defining the rifle’s capability. The glass lenses are one of the most crucial pieces of the scope because they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finish on the lenses shields the lens exterior and also improves anti glare from excess light and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope manufacturers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various techniques, polarizations, elements, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Rifle Optic Lens Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can even have various finishes applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or coating applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a coating put on it so that it will be optimally usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect 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 developer and how much money you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has several treatments applied to them. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can establish that a producer is taking several steps to fight various natural elements like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is much better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of glass used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Rifle Glass Lens Finishing
Water on a lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing.
Rifle Optic Installation Options
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally come in quick release versions which use throw levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly mount and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Rings
Standard, clamp-on style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for far away accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is good for rifles which need a durable, unfailing mount which will not move regardless of how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you want for a devoted optics system on a reach out and touch someone hunting or hard target interdiction firearm which will hardly ever need to be altered 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 mounted firmly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics company. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Scope Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a complementary style mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach nicely to a flat top design 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 retaining the original sighting settings. These types of mounts are useful and practical for rifles which are transferred a lot, to take off the scope from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are used in between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It normally costs around $250 USD
What to Know About Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Scope Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less influenced by temperature level shifts and pressure variations from the external environment which could potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
