What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for the consideration of various natural aspects like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose 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 intended target. A lot of modern-day rifle optics have around 11 parts which are found within and externally on the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Going for the finest type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scope Facts
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Info
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of 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.
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture without space used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Glass Magnification
The amount of zoom a scope offers is determined by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Fixed Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic and scope uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not fluctuate considering that it is a fixed power optic.
Info on Adjustable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power change is accomplished using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some advised scope power settings and the ranges where they can be successfully used. Bear in mind that high power optics and scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification level scopes since too much magnification can be a detractor. The exact same concept goes for longer distances where the shooter needs increased power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
About Lens Coating
All state-of-the-art rifle scope lenses are layered. Lens finish is an essential element of a rifle system when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle scope makers even use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings that take advantage of various processes, chemicals, polarizations, and aspects to draw out various colors and viewable definition through lenses. This high-definition finishing is typically used with more costly high density lens glass which reduces light’s ability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope suppliers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable over objects with well defined outlines as light hits the object from various angles.
Optic Lens Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different finishes applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic. This is because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a covering put on it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Covering
Water on a lens doesn’t help with keeping a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Numerous top of the line and premium optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior of the Steiner glass lens so the water particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads roll off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Glass Installing Options
Mounting solutions for scopes are available in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically come in quick release versions which use manual levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly mount and dismount the scope.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design 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 are created for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope install is fine for rifles which need a long lasting, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and take off a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles.
Details on Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your pricey optic by inducing fogging and making residue within the scope’s tube. Most optics protect against wetness from entering the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Normally, these scopes can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient moisture content prevention for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you anticipate taking your rifle on your motorboat and are concerned about the optic still functioning if it is submerged in water and you can still rescue the gun.
Glass Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less influenced by temp alterations and pressure differences from the outside environment which may possibly permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
