Glass Information
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom by using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for the consideration of various environmental aspects like wind speed and elevation increases to make up 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 through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are located within and outside of the optic. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Choosing the best type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Glass
First focal plane glass (FFP) include the reticle before the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the extent of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non magnified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without any “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at 100 yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Rifle Scope Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope provides is identified by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info on Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with 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 magnification of this type of optic can not fluctuate given that it is set from the factory.
Variable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified settings. The power change is accomplished by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some advised scope power settings and the ranges where they may be effectively used. High power scopes will not be as beneficial as lower magnification level optics given that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same concept goes for extended distances where the shooter needs increased power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Details on Scope Lens Coatings
All modern rifle optic lenses are covered. Lens covering can be an essential element of a rifle’s setup when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope setups.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope brands likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different processes, polarizations, chemicals, and aspects to draw out separate colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Optic Lens Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally usable in many types of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less beneficial 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 manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coverings
Water on a scope lens doesn’t help with preserving a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Numerous top of the line and premium optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It deals with the surface of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Installing Rifle Scopes on Long Guns
Installing options for scopes come in a couple of choices. 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 can be found in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly mount and remove the scope.
Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp-on design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These forms of scope mounts use double detached rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for far away precision shooting. This type of scope mount is exceptional for rifle systems which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not move despite just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should have for a specialized optics system on a reach out and touch someone hunting or interdiction rifle that will seldom need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on screws to prevent the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted tightly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and take off a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar style mount, a number of scopes can often be swapped out in the field. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten tightly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping the original sighting settings. These types of mounts come in convenient for rifles which are transferred a lot, to take off the scope from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are chosen for use between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Info Around Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Details on Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less impacted by condition changes and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which may potentially enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
