What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnifying the target by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for consideration of numerous ecological aspects like wind and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. The majority of contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are arranged within and outside of the optic. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials or turrets, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Finding the perfect type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” correlations for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (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 measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less room used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Scope Zoom
The measure of scope magnification you need on your scope is based on the sort of shooting you like to do. Practically every kind of rifle optic delivers some level of magnification. The level of zoom a scope gives is determined by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle optic. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This means what the shooter is observing through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not adjust because it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification levels. These types of scopes will list the magnification amount in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the zoom of the scope can be changed between 2x and 10x power. This additionally incorporates the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is achieved by applying the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Scopes
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Highly magnified optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification rifle scope glass given that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Lens Covering for Rifle Glass
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are covered. Lens finishing is a significant element of a rifle system when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use various processes, chemicals, polarizations, and elements to draw out separate colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating for Scopes
Various optic lenses can likewise have various coatings used to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much money you spent for it. The scope’s maker and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This means the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets several treatments, it can prove that a company is taking several steps to fight various natural elements like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single coated lens. Being “better” hinges on the maker’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of components used in building the rifle optic.
Anti-water Finishing for Scopes
Water on a lens doesn’t help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic anti-water covering.
Choices for Mounting Rifle Glass on Firearms
Installing approaches for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also normally are made in quick release versions which use throw levers which enable rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Normal, 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 is designed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is excellent for rifles which need a resilient, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and take off a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used between multiple rifles.
Info Around Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic 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 wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
What to Know About Rifle Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less altered by temp changes and pressure differences from the external environment which may potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
