All About Scopes
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to take into account many natural considerations like wind speed and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern-day rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are located inside and outside of the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
About Rifle Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Finding the best type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info on First Focal Plane Glass
First focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the extent of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified range as they are at the non magnified distance. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without any “zoom” is still the very same tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their firearm
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Facts
Second focal plane glass (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the very same overall size in relation to the quantity of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle measurements evolve based on the magnification chosen to shoot over greater ranges since the reticle markings represent various increments which vary with the magnification level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These particular styles of glass work for:
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture without room used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Optic Magnification
The amount of zoom a scope supplies is figured out by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info on Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic and scope will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not adjust given that it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the zoom amount in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This also utilizes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished utilizing the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range of Scopes
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Consider that high magnification optics and scopes will not be as effective as lower powered scopes because increased magnification can be a detractor. The same idea goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Rifle Scope Lens Coating
All contemporary rifle optic and scope lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of finishings. When thinking about high end rifle scope setups, Lens coating can be an essential component of a rifle. The lenses are among the most critical pieces of the glass considering they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The covering on the lenses safeguards the lens exterior and improves anti glare capabilities from refracted sunlight and color recognition.
About Rifle Glass Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use different processes, components, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out separate colors and viewable definition 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 also have different coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic. This is due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It must have a covering applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently functional in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to 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 coated lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Finishes
Water on an optical lens does not help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line or high-end optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this kind of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior of the Steiner scope lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Mounting Rifle Glass on Long Guns
Installing solutions for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly install and remove the glass.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounts
Basic, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two independent rings to support the scope, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for long distance precision shooting. This form of scope mount is very good for rifle systems which are in need of a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not move despite how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a faithful optics setup on a long distance scouting or interdiction firearm which will almost never need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the mount’s screws to keep the hex screw threads from backing out after they are installed firmly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by Vortex Optics. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect securely to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while preserving the original sighting settings. These types of mounts come in practical for rifles which are transported a lot, to remove the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are employed between several rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It normally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another element of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less altered by climate shifts and pressure variations from the external environment which might possibly 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.
