Rifle Scope Info
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnification using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for the consideration of separate ecological considerations like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing via the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are arranged inside and externally on the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets or dials, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Selecting the best type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info on First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their firearms
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to remain at the exact same size in connection with the quantity of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements change based on the zoom used to shoot over greater ranges given that the reticle measurements present distinct increments which differ with the magnification level. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These kinds of optics work for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture without room taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
About Glass Magnification
The level of scope zoom you need on your optic is based on the style of shooting you desire to do. Pretty much every kind of rifle glass provides some amount of magnification. The volume of zoom a scope delivers is established by the size, density, and curves of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The zoom of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This means what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not fluctuate given that it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass Facts
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified settings. The power adjustment is accomplished by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range of Rifle Scopes
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the distances where they could be effectively used. Highly magnified rifle scope glass will not be as useful as lower magnification level glass since too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The exact same idea relates to longer distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Coating for Scopes
All contemporary rifle optic and scope lenses are covered. Lens covering is an essential element of a rifle when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Glass
Some scope makers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different procedures, chemicals, aspects, and polarizations to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Scope Lens Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different coverings used to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has had multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can show that a maker is taking numerous actions to fight various natural aspects like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also doesn’t always mean the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single coated lens. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in creating the rifle glass.
Hydrophobic Rifle Optic Lens Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with keeping 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 hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating.
Optic Installation Alternatives
Installing approaches for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also usually are made in quick release versions which use manual levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
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 different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is designed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which require a resilient, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Glass Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a comparable design mount, several scopes can also be switched out on the range. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten solidly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving accuracy. These types of mounts are useful and beneficial for rifles which are hauled around a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are adopted between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It generally costs around $250 USD
Info on Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less affected by condition shifts and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which could possibly permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
