Scope Facts
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by utilizing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for separate environmental things like wind and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are viewing using the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are located within and externally on the optic. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of scopes.
Rifle Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The kind of focal plane a scope has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located in connection with the scopes zoom. It actually suggests the reticle is behind or before the magnification lens of the optic. Selecting the most effective kind of rifle scope is based upon what sort of hunting or shooting you plan on undertaking.
About First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane glass (FFP) feature the reticle ahead of the magnifying 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 distance as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” as well as “lead” equations for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the same size in relation to the volume of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements alter based on the magnification applied to shoot over longer distances because the reticle measurements represent various increments which fluctuate with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These varieties of glass are beneficial for:
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less room used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Zoom for Glass
The measure of scope magnification you need on your optic depends upon the sort of shooting you intend to do. Just about every type of rifle optic provides some level of magnification. The quantity of magnification a scope gives is determined by the size, density, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle optic. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This indicates what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Glass Info
A single power rifle optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not fluctuate considering that it is set from the factory.
About Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power adjustment is achieved using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some suggested scope powers and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Remember that high magnification scopes will not be as practical as lower powered glass since excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Glass Lens Coating
All top teir rifle glass lenses are coated. Lens finish is a vital aspect of a rifle when looking at high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
Details on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some glass makers even use “HD” or high-def lens finishings that take advantage of various procedures, components, compounds, and polarizations to extract separate color ranges and viewable target visibility through the lens. This HD coating is commonly used with greater density lens glass which decreases light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable around items with hard shapes as light hits the item from specific angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Glass
Various optic lenses can even have various coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. Because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be efficiently functional in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while reducing 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 manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Details on Hydrophobic Coating
Water on a lens does not improve retaining a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Many top of the line or high-end scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It treats the surface area 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 slide off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Installing Optics on Long Guns
Installing options for scopes are available in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also normally are made in quick release variations which use manual levers which enable rifle operators to quickly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
Standard, clamp-on design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These styles of scope mounts use a pair of detached rings to support the scope, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are manufactured for far away accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is excellent for rifle systems which are in need of a durable, unfailing mount which will not shift no matter just how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should have for a dedicated optics setup on a long distance hunting or competitors firearm that will pretty much never need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the mount’s screws to stop the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are installed tightly in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics company. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Rifle Glass Mounting Solutions 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. Numerous scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used in between several rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Scope Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by causing fogging and creating 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 water resistant.
Scope Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less affected by temp alterations and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
