Scope Facts
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by making use of a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of varied environmental things like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are arranged inside and on the exterior of the optic. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
About Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The form of focal plane an optic has decides where the reticle or crosshair is located in relation to the optic’s magnification. It actually indicates the reticle is behind or before the magnification lens of the scope. Considering the most ideal type of rifle optic is dependent on what sort of shooting or hunting you anticipate doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on 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. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are minor
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Facts
Second focal plane glass (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnifying lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same dimensions relative to the volume of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle measurements shift based upon the zoom applied to shoot over lengthier ranges because the reticle markings represent various increments which can vary with the zoom level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These sorts of optics are handy for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots take place within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture with less space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Scope Zoom
The amount of magnification 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 Single Power Lens Rifle Optic Details
A single power rifle optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not adjust considering that it is a fixed power optic.
Adjustable Power Lens Optic Details
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power adjustment is handled by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Glass Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they could be successfully used. Keep in mind that higher magnification optics and scopes will not be as efficient as lower magnification level optics and scopes since excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The same applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Scope Lens Finishing
All current rifle scope and optic lenses are covered. Lens finishing can be an essential aspect of a shooting platform when looking into high end rifle optics and scope systems.
About Optic Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle scope companies will also use “HD” or high-def lense finishes which employ different processes, polarizations, rare earth compounds, and aspects to enhance various colors and viewable definition through the lens. This HD covering is frequently used with increased density glass which reduces light’s opportunity to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious over things with hard edges and shapes as light hits the object from certain angles.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have various finishings used to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or coating used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coating
Water on an optic’s lens does not help with maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Lots of top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this kind of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Optics on Firearms
Mounting solutions for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally can be found in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the scope.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount 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 often 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 resilient, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect solidly to a flat top type 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 keeping accuracy. These types of mounts are useful and handy for rifles which are transferred a lot, to take off the glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are employed in between several rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics brand. It usually costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle scope can wreck a day on the range and your costly optic by triggering fogging and creating residue within the scope’s tube. A lot of optics protect against humidity from going into the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Generally, these water-resistant scopes can be submerged underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample wetness prevention for standard use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are worried about the optic still performing if it goes over the side and you can still recover the firearm.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another element of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less influenced by temp shifts and pressure variations from the outside environment which could potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
