Rifle Scope Information
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnification using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for many natural considerations like wind speed 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 via the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most modern-day rifle optics have about eleven parts which are arranged within and outside of the optic. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
Rifle Scope Styles
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 lies in relation to the scopes zoom. It literally implies the reticle is situated behind or before the magnification lens of the scope. Picking the very best style of rifle glass depends on what variety of shooting or hunting you intend on doing.
About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non magnified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without having “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” plus “lead” ratios for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Details
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture with less room taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Optic Magnification
The measure of scope magnification you need depends upon the style of shooting you plan to do. Pretty much every style of rifle glass offers some amount of zoom. The level of zoom a scope delivers is determined by the size, thickness, and curves of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This indicates what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is magnified times the power element of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Scope Facts
A single power rifle optic or scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not adjust given that it is set from the factory.
Info on Adjustable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification power levels. These types of scopes will note the zoom degree in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished by applying the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some recommended scope powers and the distances where they may be successfully used. Always remember that higher power optics will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics and scopes due to the fact that excessive zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same concept applies to extended distances where the shooter needs adequate power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
About Lens Finish
All modern rifle optic lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of lens finishings. Lens covering can be a crucial aspect of a rifle when considering high-end rifle optics and targeting systems. The lenses are among the most vital components of the glass considering they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses offers protection to the lens surface and assists with anti glare capabilities from excess light and color perception.
About Rifle Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope makers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use various procedures, elements, 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” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
About Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different coverings used to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends upon the scope company and just how much you paid for it. The scope’s maker and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can prove that a company is taking several actions to fight various natural factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally doesn’t always mean the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends upon the maker’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle glass.
Anti-water Lens Finish
Water on an optical lens doesn’t improve retaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Many top of the line and premium scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It treats the exterior surfaces of the Steiner scope lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Installing Glass on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Scope Rings
Standard, 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used between multiple rifles.
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
What to Know About Rifle Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less impacted by temp alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which could potentially enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
