Information Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to take into account numerous ecological things like wind and elevation increases 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 seeing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many modern rifle optics have about eleven parts which are arranged inside and externally on the optic. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of an optic.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Selecting the perfect type of rifle glass depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info About First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane optics (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at 100 yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” as well as “lead” correlations for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane glass (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to remain at the same overall size relative to the quantity of zoom being used. The effect is that the reticle measurements adapt based on the zoom used to shoot over lengthier ranges since the markings represent various increments which change with the magnification. In the FFP illustration with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These particular types of optics work for:
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture with less space taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Optics
The amount of zoom a scope provides 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.
Info on Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic comes with 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 scope can not change since it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power modification is accomplished by the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Glass
Here are some suggested scope powers and the ranges where they may be efficiently used. High power glass will not be as useful as lower magnification level rifle scope glass because too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same concept applies to longer distances where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Rifle Glass Lens Finishing
All top of the line rifle scope lenses are layered. Lens finish can be an essential element of a rifle system when looking at high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
ED Versus HD Scopes
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use different methods, aspects, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating for Optics
Different optic lenses can even have various coatings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some kind of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be optimally functional in numerous types of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while minimizing 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 just how much you paid for it. The scope’s maker and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This means the lens has had multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens receives several treatments, it can show that a manufacturer is taking multiple steps to fight different environmental aspects like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also does not always mean the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of glass used in creating the rifle glass.
Anti-water Lens Finish
Water on an optical lens does not support retaining a clear sight picture through a scope whatsoever. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior surfaces of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads slide off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Mounting Glass on Firearms
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly install and dismount the glass.
Rifle Glass Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp-on type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These styles of scope mounts use two independent rings to support the optic, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long distance accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is good for rifle systems which need a resilient, unfailing mount which will not change regardless of how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should get for a devoted scope setup on a reach out and touch someone scouting or hard target interdiction firearm which will rarely need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the mount screws to protect against the hex screw threads from backing out after they are mounted firmly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from Vortex Optics. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly take off a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Info Around Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle glass can destroy a day of shooting and your costly optic by causing fogging and developing residue within the scope tube. A lot of scopes protect against moisture from getting in the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Generally, these water-resistant optics can be immersed underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample humidity prevention for conventional use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle aboard a watercraft and are worried about the scope still functioning if it goes over the side and you can still retrieve the gun.
Gas Purged Scope Tubes
Another component of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less impacted by condition shifts and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which could possibly enable water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
