Rifle Optic Details
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through zoom by using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted for the consideration of separate environmental elements like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing via the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many contemporary rifle optics have around 11 parts which are arranged within and externally on the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
About Rifle Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding on the optimal type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” as well as “lead” ratios for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture without space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Scopes
The amount of zoom a scope supplies is determined 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.
Info About Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not change considering that it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Scope Facts
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the magnification level in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope can be changed between 2x and 10x power. This also involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is accomplished by making use of the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Scopes
Here are some advised scope powers and the distances where they may be effectively used. High power glass will not be as efficient as lower magnification level scopes due to the fact that too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Details on Scope Lens Coverings
All top of the line rifle glass lenses are coated. Lens coating is an important aspect of a shooting system when buying high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Optic Lens Coatings
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lense coverings which make the most of various processes, aspects, chemicals, and polarizations to extract different color ranges and viewable definition through lenses. This high-definition finishing is typically used with greater density lens glass which lowers light’s ability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible around objects with hard shapes as light hits the object from specific angles.
Single Rifle Glass Lens Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have different coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while lowering 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 on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has had multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can indicate that a maker is taking numerous actions to fight various natural elements like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally does not always suggest the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” hinges on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in building the rifle glass.
Anti-water Lens Finish
Water on an optical lens doesn’t assist with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line or premium optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It treats the exterior of the Steiner scope lens so the water particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Optic Mounting Alternatives
Mounting options for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use manual levers which enable rifle operators to quickly install and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp style 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 a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is created for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which need a long lasting, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used in between multiple rifles.
Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Info Around Rifle Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less impacted by temp alterations and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which might potentially enable water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
