Optic Details
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnification by using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to take into account many natural things like wind and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are arranged inside and externally on the scope. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of scopes.
About Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The form of focal plane an optic has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the optic’s magnification. It simply indicates the reticle is situated behind or in front of the magnification lens of the optic. Deciding on the most reliable style of rifle scope depends upon what variety of shooting or hunting you intend on undertaking.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” as well as “lead” ratios for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Info
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture without space taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Glass Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope offers is figured out by the diameter, thickness, 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 or scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not adjust given that it is fixed.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass Details
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power modification is accomplished using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Glass Power Level and Ranges
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they could be successfully used. Highly magnified scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification rifle scope glass due to the fact that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Details on Lens Covering
All modern-day rifle glass lenses are layered. Lens coating can be a vital element of a shooting system when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope brands likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use various procedures, chemicals, elements, and polarizations to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can even have different coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is due to the fact that the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in many types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard 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 layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer 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. This indicates the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives several treatments, it can prove that a maker is taking multiple steps to fight various environmental aspects like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also does not always imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single coated lens. Being “better” is dependent on the producer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
About Anti-water Finish
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing.
Glass Installing Choices
Installing options for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also usually can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Standard, clamp type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These forms of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the scope, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for long distance precision shooting. This form of scope mount is great for rifle systems which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not shift regardless of how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you really want to have for a faithful scope system on a far away hunting or hard target interdiction firearm which will seldom need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the screws to stop the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted firmly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics company. The set usually costs around $200 USD
Scope Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and take off a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifle platforms which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles.
Info Around Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and making residue inside of the scope’s tube. A lot of scopes prevent moisture from going into the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Normally, these 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 more than enough humidity prevention for basic use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle on boats and are worried about the scope still performing if it goes over the side and you can still find the rifle.
Info on Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the buildup of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less altered by condition shifts and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which might potentially allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
