All About Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to take into account varied ecological aspects like wind and elevation increases or decreases 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 with the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern-day rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are arranged within and outside of the scope body. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets or dials, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a scope.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The kind of focal plane an optic has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies relative to the scopes magnification. It actually implies the reticle is located behind or before the magnification lens of the optic. Deciding upon the very best kind of rifle glass depends on what style of shooting or hunting you intend on undertaking.
First Focal Plane Glass Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” correlations for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture without room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Optic Magnification
The extent of scope magnification you need on your optic is based on the type of shooting you like to do. Nearly every kind of rifle optic supplies some degree of magnification. The quantity of zoom a scope delivers is established by the dimension, density, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This signifies what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
About Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of scope can not fluctuate given that it is fixed.
Info on Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified levels. The power modification is handled by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range of Rifle Optics
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they may be effectively used. Keep in mind that high magnification scopes will not be as effective as lower powered glass due to the fact that increased zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The exact same idea relates to longer distances where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Covering for Optics
All top teir rifle optic and scope lenses are layered. Lens coating can be an essential element of a shooting platform when looking at high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use various procedures, polarizations, chemicals, and elements to draw out various colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Rifle Scope Lens Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different coatings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a finishing applied to it so that the lens will be optimally functional in numerous types of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard 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 producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This suggests the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets several treatments, it can indicate that a company is taking numerous actions to fight different environmental aspects like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also doesn’t necessarily mean the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of glass used in constructing the rifle glass.
Anti-water Lens Coatings
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t improve keeping a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Numerous top of the line or high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the exterior of the Steiner glass 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 preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Glass Installation Alternatives
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also typically are made in quick release versions which use throw levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly install and dismount the scope.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Normal, clamp style 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is fine for rifles which require a long lasting, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounts
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and remove a scope from a rifle. If they all use a comparable design mount, a number of scopes can often be switched in the field. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach firmly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while keeping accuracy. These kinds of mounts are useful and convenient for rifles which are moved around a lot, to remove the glass from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are adopted in between multiple rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It generally costs around $250 USD
Info Around Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another part of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less affected by condition changes and pressure distinctions from the outdoor 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 look for.
