What You Need to Know About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnifying the target by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to account for numerous environmental elements like wind speed and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing using the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are arranged within and on the exterior of the scope. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets, focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The kind of focal plane an optic has establishes where the reticle or crosshair is located in connection with the scopes magnifying adjustments. It simply suggests the reticle is behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the optic. Deciding upon the most reliable kind of rifle optic is based on what kind of hunting or shooting you intend on doing.
First Focal Plane Glass Details
First focal plane optics (FFP) come with the reticle ahead of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non amplified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at 100 yards using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Facts
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to stay at the same dimensions in relation to the amount of zoom being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements shift based on the magnification used to shoot over longer ranges since the markings represent distinct increments which change with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These styles of optics are useful for:
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who select a clearer optic picture without space taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Glass Zoom
The extent of scope magnification you need on your optic is based on the style of shooting you plan to do. Almost every type of rifle glass offers some degree of zoom. The quantity of magnification a scope offers is identified by the size, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This means what the shooter is checking out through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not change since it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is accomplished by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope power settings and the ranges where they may be successfully used. High power scopes will not be as beneficial as lower magnification glass because too much magnification can be a bad thing. The very same idea applies to longer distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Optic Lens Coatings
All modern rifle scope and optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of finishes. Lens coating can be a crucial aspect of a rifle’s setup when contemplating luxury rifle optics and scope systems. The lenses are among the most vital components of the optic because they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finish on the lenses safeguards the lens exterior as well as assists with anti glare from refracted daylight and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different procedures, components, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Rifle Optic Lens Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different finishings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less useful 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 manufacturers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has had numerous treatments applied to them. If a lens gets several treatments, it can prove that a maker is taking multiple actions to fight various natural factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also doesn’t necessarily mean the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in creating the rifle optic.
Anti-water Lens Coating
Water on an optic’s lens does not help with maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Many top of the line or premium optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It treats the exterior surfaces of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Installing Rifle Glass on Firearms
Installing solutions for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also normally are made in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle operators to quickly mount and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Scope Ring Mounts
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is perfect for rifles which need a resilient, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and take off a scope from a rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach securely to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while maintaining the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts are useful and practical for shooting platforms which are moved around a lot, to take off the optic from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are chosen for use in between numerous rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
About Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Glass Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less affected by climate changes and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could possibly enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
