Info About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by utilizing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for the consideration of varied environmental factors like wind speed and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are viewing using the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most modern-day rifle optics have about eleven parts which are arranged internally and externally on the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The type of focal plane a scope has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located relative to the optic’s magnification. It actually indicates the reticle is situated behind or ahead of the magnification lens of the scope. Selecting the most desired form of rifle scope depends on what kind of shooting or hunting you plan on undertaking.
About First Focal Plane Glass
First focal plane glass (FFP) include the reticle before the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified distance. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” plus “lead” relationships for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture without room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Magnification for Scopes
The measure of scope magnification you need on your optic depends upon the kind of shooting you plan to do. Virtually every kind of rifle scope offers some amount of magnification. The volume of zoom a scope provides is established by the dimension, density, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnification level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This implies what the shooter is looking at through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
About Single Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle scope or optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not fluctuate because it is fixed.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass Info
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will note the zoom level in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is achieved by working with the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Optics
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the ranges where they may be effectively used. High power scopes will not be as useful as lower magnification glass since too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs increased power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Lens Coating for Optics
All state-of-the-art rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. Lens finishing can be a crucial aspect of a shooting system when looking into high end rifle optics and scope setups.
Info on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle scope producers also use “HD” or high-def lense finishings that apply different procedures, elements, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out separate colors and viewable target visibility through the lens. This HD coating is normally used with increased density glass which lowers light’s potential to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to describe “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable around things with hard outlines as light hits the object from specific angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Optics
Various optic lenses can even have different finishes applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a finish placed on it so that it will be optimally usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and enhancing 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 layered lens depends upon the scope producer and how much money you spent for it. Both are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Finishes
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic anti-water finishing.
Options for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Long Guns
Installing solutions for scopes come in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also normally come in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the glass.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounts
Basic, clamp-on type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These forms of scope mounts use a pair of individual rings to support the scope, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for far away precision shooting. This kind of scope mount is effective for rifle systems which require a durable, hard use mount which will not shift regardless of just how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should have for a specialized scope setup on a far away hunting or sniper competition long gun that will seldom need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the scope mount’s screws to stop the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted securely in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics company. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Optic Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for long guns which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between several rifles or are situationally focused.
What to Know About Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can spoil a day on the range and your expensive optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Many optics protect against wetness from entering the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these water resistant optics can be submerged underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of humidity prevention for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are concerned about the scope still functioning if it goes over the side and you can still rescue the rifle.
Gas Purged Scope Tubes
Another component of avoiding the buildup of wetness within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is currently occupied by the gas, the glass is less impacted by condition shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which may possibly allow 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 look for.
