Info Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to take into account separate environmental aspects like wind speed and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Most contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are located inside and externally on the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials or turrets, focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Opting for the finest type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are minor
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Details
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture without room used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Optic Zoom
The measure of scope magnification you need on your glass is based on the sort of shooting you want to do. Pretty much every type of rifle optic gives some degree of zoom. The amount of magnification a scope provides is established by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This means what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic will have 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 magnification of this type of scope can not change since it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the magnification level in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the zoom of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This also utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is accomplished by applying the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Glass Power Level and Ranges
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they could be efficiently used. Highly magnified optics will not be as useful as lower magnification scopes considering that too much magnification can be a bad thing. The same relates to longer distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Details on Lens Finishing
All top of the line rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens coating is a significant element of a shooting system when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
Info on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle scope companies additionally use “HD” or high-def lens finishings which employ various procedures, components, chemicals, and polarizations to enhance various colors and viewable target visibility through the lens. This HD coating is frequently used with increased density glass which lowers light’s potential to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be visible around objects with hard shapes as light hits the object from specific angles.
Single Rifle Scope Lens Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less advantageous 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 also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Rifle Scope Lens Hydrophobic Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic anti-water finish.
Alternatives for Installing Glass on Firearms
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also usually are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly install and remove the scope.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use a pair of independent rings to support the scope, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are designed for long distance precision shooting. This form of scope mount is good for rifles which need to have a long lasting, hard use mount which will not shift regardless of how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you want for a devoted optics setup on a reach out and touch someone hunting or competition long gun which will hardly ever need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used to keep the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted securely in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics brand. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and take off a scope from a rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a complementary style mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten nicely to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while retaining the original sighting settings. These types of mounts come in practical for rifles which are transferred a lot, to take off the optic from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are adopted between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle glass can wreck a day of shooting and your pricey optic by resulting in fogging and developing residue within the scope tube. The majority of optics protect against moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these water-resistant optics can be immersed within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample wetness avoidance for conventional use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you anticipate taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are worried about the scope still working if it falls overboard and you can still salvage the rifle.
Info on Rifle Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less impacted by temp shifts and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which may potentially allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
