What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by making use of a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for consideration of many ecological factors like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are viewing through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern-day rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are located internally and outside of the scope body. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials or turrets, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of optics.
Rifle Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding upon the best type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane glass (FFP) come with the reticle before the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non magnified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the identical tick at 100 yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are very little
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” plus “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Facts
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture without area taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Scopes
The quantity of zoom a scope provides is determined by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info on Fixed Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not adjust because it is fixed.
Info on Adjustable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is handled by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power and Ranges
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they can be successfully used. Always remember that high magnification glass will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics and scopes since too much magnification can be a detractor. The exact same concept applies to extended distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Rifle Glass Lens Coating
All cutting-edge rifle scope and optic lenses are coated. Lens coating is a significant element of a rifle when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Rifle Glass Lens Coatings
Some optic producers additionally use “HD” or high-def glass finishes that employ different procedures, polarizations, components, and chemicals to enhance a wide range of color ranges and viewable definition through the lens. This high-def coating is often used with higher density glass which brings down light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to describe “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 is often noticeable over things with hard outlines as light hits the item from certain angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different coatings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while minimizing 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 just how much you paid for it. Both are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope makers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
What to Know About Hydrophobic Finishing
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t assist with retaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Lots of top of the line or premium scope producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the surface area of the Steiner optic lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads roll off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Installing Rifle Glass on Long Guns
Installing solutions for scopes come in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately 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 quickly mount and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is wonderful 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.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and detach a scope from a rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect solidly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping accuracy. These types of mounts are useful and convenient for rifles which are carried a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are adopted in between multiple rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It generally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Scope Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle optic can wreck a day of shooting and your pricey optic by inducing fogging and producing residue within the scope tube. The majority of scopes protect against moisture from getting in the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these water resistant optics can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of wetness avoidance for conventional use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are worried about the scope still working if it goes over the side and you can still retrieve the gun.
Gas Purged Rifle Glass Tubes
Another element of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less affected by condition alterations and pressure differences from the outside environment which might potentially permit 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 seek out.
