Scope Info
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for the consideration of numerous natural things like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most contemporary rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are located within and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
Rifle Glass Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Finding the optimal type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane optics (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This triggers 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 enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified range. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at 100 yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane glass (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the exact same dimensions in connection with the amount of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle dimensions adapt based upon the zoom chosen to shoot over greater ranges since the reticle measurements present different increments which vary with the magnification level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular types of glass are convenient for:
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic picture without space used up by the larger size FFP reticle
About Optic Zoom
The level of scope magnification you need depends upon the kind of shooting you want to do. Virtually every type of rifle scope delivers some level of magnification. The volume of zoom a scope offers is determined by the dimension, density, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This indicates what the shooter is checking out through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic and scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not fluctuate because it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will note the magnification degree in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers imply the zoom of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally incorporates the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished by applying the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some advised scope powers and the distances where they could be efficiently used. High power scopes will not be as efficient as lower magnification level scopes because too much magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
About Lens Coating
All modern-day rifle scope and optic lenses are covered. Lens covering can be an important aspect of a rifle when looking at high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Rifle Glass Lens Coatings
Some rifle scope producers even use “HD” or high-def lense finishings which use various processes, rare earth compounds, components, and polarizations to draw out various color ranges and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-definition finish is normally used with more costly high density glass which brings down light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious over things with well defined outlines as light hits the item from specific angles.
About Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can even have different coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in lots of kinds of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while reducing 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 upon the scope developer and how much money you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
Rifle Scope Lens Anti-water Finishing
Water on a lens does not assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope whatsoever. Numerous top of the line or premium scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It deals with the exterior of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Installing Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also usually can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Rings
Basic, clamp-on type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is good for rifles which are in need of a resilient, hard use mount which will not change regardless of how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you want for a faithful scope setup on a long distance scouting or tournament rifle which will hardly ever need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the scope mount screws to protect against the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted tightly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly take off a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach firmly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while retaining accuracy. These types of mounts are useful and handy for shooting platforms which are moved around a lot, to take off the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are adopted between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics brand. It normally costs around $250 USD
Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Info on Rifle Optic 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. Given that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less affected by temp alterations and pressure variations from the outside environment which may possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
