Optic Information
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They do this through magnifying the target by employing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted for consideration of various ecological elements like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern-day rifle optics have about 11 parts which are arranged within and externally on the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of scopes.
About Glass Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The sort of focal plane an optic has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies in regard to the scopes zoom. It actually suggests the reticle is behind or ahead of the magnification lens of the scope. Picking the most desired type of rifle optic depends on what style of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” as well as “lead” correlations for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture with less room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Zoom for Scopes
The amount of scope magnification you need on your scope depends upon the form of shooting you want to do. Virtually every style of rifle glass provides some degree of zoom. The quantity of magnification a scope delivers is identified by the size, thickness, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This denotes what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not change given that it is a fixed power optic.
Info on Adjustable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the magnification amount in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers mean the zoom of the scope could be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This additionally utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is achieved by making use of 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 powers and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Highly magnified optics will not be as beneficial as lower magnification glass because too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same idea applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Info on Rifle Optic Lens Coatings
All modern-day rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of glass lens coverings. Lens coating is an important aspect of a rifle when contemplating high end rifle optics and targeting units. The glass lenses are among the most important components of the scope considering they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finishing on the lenses protects the lens surface and improves anti glare from refracted daylight and color exposure.
Info on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope producers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different processes, polarizations, chemicals, and components to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Glass
Different optic lenses can also have different finishes applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect 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 maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This indicates the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can show that a maker is taking multiple actions to fight different environmental factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” hinges on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of components used in creating the rifle optic.
Hydrophobic Lens Coating
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic anti-water covering.
Rifle Glass Mounting Alternatives
Installing solutions for scopes can be found 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 various kinds of mounts also typically come in quick release versions which use throw levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly mount and remove the scope.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Standard, 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is designed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is perfect for rifles which require a long lasting, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly take off a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used between numerous rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Optic Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle optic can ruin a day on the range and your costly optic by inducing fogging and developing residue within the scope’s tube. A lot of optics prevent wetness from going into the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Normally, these water-resistant scopes can be submerged beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of humidity prevention for conventional use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle on a boat and are concerned about the optic still performing if it is submerged in water and you can still rescue the firearm.
Scope Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less altered by temperature shifts and pressure distinctions from the external environment which might possibly allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
