Facts About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for consideration of different ecological factors like wind speed and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing via the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of modern-day rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are found inside and externally on the optic. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The style of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair is located in relation to the scopes zoom. It simply means the reticle is behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the scope. Picking out the most suitable form of rifle glass is based on what style of shooting or hunting you intend on undertaking.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non amplified distance. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without any “zoom” is still the same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are practical for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are small
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane glass (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same scale relative to the level of magnification being used. The end result is that the reticle dimensions adapt based upon the magnification used to shoot over greater ranges considering the markings present various increments which differ with the magnification level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture with less area taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Zoom for Scopes
The extent of scope magnification you need on your optic depends upon the type of shooting you wish to do. Nearly every kind of rifle scope supplies some amount of magnification. The volume of magnification a scope supplies is determined by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification level of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This means what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Info on Fixed Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic and scope uses 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 type of optic can not change given that it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification power levels. These types of scopes will note the zoom degree in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the zoom of the scope can be set between 2x and 10x power. This always includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished by making use of the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Optic Power and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they could be effectively used. Highly magnified glass will not be as beneficial as lower magnification rifle scope glass due to the fact that too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same applies to longer distances where the shooter needs increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finishing for Glass
All modern rifle optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of coatings. When looking at luxury rifle optics and scope setups, Lens covering can be an essential element of defining the capability of the rifle. The glass lenses are one of the most essential pieces of the optic considering that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finishing on the lenses offers protection to the lens exterior as well as improves anti glare capabilities from refracted sunlight and color presence.
Details on Glass Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some glass makers also use “HD” or high-def lens finishes which employ different processes, polarizations, chemicals, and elements to extract various color ranges and viewable target visibility through the lens. This high-def covering is often used with more costly, high density glass which drops light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to describe “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable around things with hard outlines as light hits the item from certain angles.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Glass
Different optic lenses can likewise have various finishings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or coating used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has several treatments applied to them. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can indicate that a maker is taking numerous actions to fight different environmental aspects like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of components used in creating the rifle optic.
Hydrophobic Lens Covering
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating.
Glass Mounting Options
Installing options for scopes can be found in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally come in quick release variations which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly mount and dismount the optics.
Scope Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp-on design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These forms of scope mounts use double detached rings to support the optic, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are made for long distance accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is exceptional for rifle systems which are in need of a long lasting, hard use mount which will not move despite how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you really want to have for a specialized optics system on a long distance scouting or sniper competition long gun that will seldom need to be modified or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on screws to keep the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted securely in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics company. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic 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, multiple scopes can often be switched out on the range. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten firmly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while keeping accuracy. These kinds of mounts come in practical for shooting platforms which are transferred between vehicles a lot, to remove the glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are chosen for use between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics brand. It usually costs around $250 USD
Info Around Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Info Around Rifle Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less affected by temp alterations and pressure distinctions from the external environment which could possibly allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
