All About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by making use of a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account various natural things like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of modern rifle optics have around 11 parts which are arranged inside and externally on the scope body. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
About Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The style of focal plane a scope has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located in relation to the optic’s zoom. It actually means the reticle is behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the scope. Deciding upon the most reliable form of rifle glass is based upon what variety of shooting or hunting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle ahead of the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the level of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” as well as “lead” correlations for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
About Glass Zoom
The quantity of scope magnification you need depends on the type of shooting you like to do. Nearly every type of rifle scope provides some degree of magnification. The level of magnification a scope supplies is identified by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This means what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle optic or scope uses 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 type of optic can not change considering that it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the magnification amount in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope could be set in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally involves the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is achieved by operating the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power and Range of Rifle Scopes
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Highly magnified glass will not be as effective as lower powered glass considering that too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The very same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Covering for Rifle Scopes
All modern rifle scope and optic lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of finishings. When looking at luxury rifle scope setups, Lens finishing can be a crucial aspect of defining the capability of the rifle. The lenses are one of the most critical components of the optic given that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finish on the lenses protects the lens surface and also improves anti glare from refracted daylight and color recognition.
About Glass Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle scope companies will also use “HD” or high-definition lense coverings which make the most of various procedures, polarizations, chemicals, and aspects to extract various colors and viewable target definition through lenses. This HD finishing is typically used with increased density glass which brings down light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to describe “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be noticeable over things with well defined outlines as light hits the object from certain angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can even have different finishings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic. This is since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It needs to have a coating placed on it so that it will be efficiently usable in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope designer and how much you spent paying for it. Both are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coverings
Water on a scope lens does not improve maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Many top of the line and high-end scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this kind of treatment. It treats the exterior of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Installing Optics on Long Guns
Installing options for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
Basic, clamp-on style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These types of scope mounts use two independent rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for far away precision shooting. This form of scope mount is exceptional for rifle systems which need a resilient, hard use mount which will not change no matter how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you really want to have for a devoted scope system on a far away scouting or competitors rifle that will hardly ever need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used to protect against the hex screw threads from backing out after they are installed securely in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, a number of scopes can also be switched in the field. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect firmly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while retaining the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts come in practical for rifles which are carried a lot, to take off the scope from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are chosen for use in between numerous rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It normally costs around $250 USD
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Scope Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less affected by climate shifts and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could possibly allow 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.
