Glass Facts
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for consideration of many environmental things like wind speed and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern-day rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are arranged within and externally on the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of an optic.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Picking the perfect type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are very little
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnifying lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the very same dimensions in connection with the quantity of zoom being used. The final result is that the reticle dimensions evolve based upon the zoom applied to shoot over lengthier ranges considering the reticle markings present various increments which fluctuate with the zoom level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular styles of optics are handy for:
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture without room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Optic Zoom
The amount of zoom a scope provides is figured out by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not adjust because it is a fixed power optic.
About Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will list the magnification degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the zoom of the scope can be changed between 2x and 10x power. This also includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is achieved utilizing the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Rifle Optic Power and Ranges
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they could be efficiently used. Bear in mind that higher magnification optics and scopes will not be as practical as lower powered scope and optics because increased zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same concept applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Rifle Scope Lens Covering
All current rifle glass lenses are layered. Lens coating can be an essential aspect of a rifle’s setup when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope systems.
About Optic Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle scope companies even use “HD” or high-definition lense coatings which use various processes, polarizations, chemicals, and aspects to draw out different colors and viewable target visibility through lenses. This high-def finishing is normally used with increased density lens glass which reduces light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be noticeable over items with hard outlines as light hits the object from particular angles.
What to Know About Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various coverings used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends upon the scope manufacturer and how much money you spent for it. Both are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
About Anti-water Covering
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish.
Alternatives for Installing Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These forms of scope mounts use a pair of separate rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is effective for rifles which are in need of a resilient, rock solid mount which will not move regardless of just how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you want for a devoted optics setup on a long distance scouting or tournament rifle which will almost never need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the screws to stop the hex screws from wiggling out after they are installed securely in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from Vortex Optics. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Optic Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle glass can spoil a day on the range and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and producing residue within the scope’s tube. Many optics prevent humidity from entering the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these water resistant optics can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient humidity avoidance for basic use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle on boats and are concerned about the optic still working if it goes over the side and you can still find the rifle.
Gas Purged Rifle Glass Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less altered by climate changes and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which might possibly allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
