What You Need to Know About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes permit 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 utilizing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of separate natural elements like wind and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. The majority of contemporary rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are found internally and externally on the scope body. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
About Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding on the best type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are minor
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” plus “lead” correlations for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the very same scale in connection with the level of magnification being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements change based upon the zoom applied to shoot over greater distances since the reticle markings represent distinct increments which can vary with the magnification. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular styles of glass work for:
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who select a clearer optic picture with less space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Glass Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope provides is figured out by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic comes with a magnification 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 fluctuate because it is a fixed power scope.
About Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified settings. The power modification is achieved using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they can be effectively used. Keep in mind that high power optics and scopes will not be as practical as lower powered scope and optics since increased zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have increased power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finish for Optics
All modern rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens coating can be a vital element of a rifle system when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Scope Lens Coatings
Some scope makers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use different processes, polarizations, chemicals, and components to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Info on Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various finishes used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finish applied 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 preserve the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope manufacturer and just how much you spent paying 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 layered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Finish
Water on an optic’s lens doesn’t improve preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It treats the surface area of the Steiner optic lens so the water particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads slide off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Scope Installation Alternatives
Mounting options for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
Normal, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is excellent for rifles which require a long lasting, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Rifle Scope Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and take off a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Info on Rifle Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less impacted by temperature shifts and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which may potentially enable 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 look for.
