Facts About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnification by making use of a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for consideration of numerous ecological aspects like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of modern-day rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are located internally and outside of the scope body. 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.
About Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding upon the optimal type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass
First focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle before the magnification lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the extent of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the identical tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are minor
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Details
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the very same size in relation to the amount of magnification being used. The end result is that the reticle dimensions evolve based on the zoom applied to shoot over longer distances since the reticle measurements represent various increments which differ with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture with less space taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Zoom for Scopes
The quantity of scope zoom you need on your optic depends on the kind of shooting you wish to do. Pretty much every type of rifle glass gives some amount of zoom. The level of zoom a scope delivers is determined by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This implies what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope and optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not adjust given that it is set from the factory.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Optic Details
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power adjustment is achieved by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range of Rifle Optics
Here are some suggested scope powers and the distances where they could be successfully used. Consider that high magnification optics and scopes will not be as efficient as lower powered optics and scopes due to the fact that increased magnification can be a detractor. The same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Details on Lens Coating
All top teir rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. Lens finishing can be a vital aspect of a rifle system when looking into high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Rifle Scope Lens Coatings
Some glass producers also use “HD” or high-definition glass finishes which make the most of various processes, elements, polarizations, and chemical applications to draw out various colors and viewable target definition through lenses. This HD finishing is frequently used with increased density lens glass which reduces light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be noticeable around items with defined outlines as light hits the item from certain angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various scope lenses can even have various finishes applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a coating 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.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope manufacturer and the amount you spent on it. Both the make and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can indicate that a producer is taking several steps to combat various natural factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally doesn’t necessarily indicate the multi-coated lens is much better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the producer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
Anti-water Glass Lens Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t help with retaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Many top of the line or premium optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the surface of the Steiner glass 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 preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Mounting Rifle Glass on Long Guns
Installing approaches for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally are made in quick release versions which use throw levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scope.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to mount 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 designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is great for rifles which are in need of a long lasting, hard use mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a specialized scope system on a far away scouting or hard target interdiction long gun that will almost never need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used to stop the hex screws from wiggling out after they are installed tightly in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type from the Vortex Optics company. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for long guns which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Scope Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by resulting in fogging and generating residue within the scope tube. Most scopes prevent moisture from going into the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these scopes can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample wetness prevention for common use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle sailing and are concerned about the scope still performing if it goes over the side and you can still salvage the gun.
Optic Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less impacted by condition changes and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which might potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
