Rifle Scope Details
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by employing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for the consideration of different environmental considerations like wind and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are arranged inside and externally on the scope body. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The style of focal plane a scope has identifies where the reticle or crosshair lies in connection with the optic’s magnifying adjustments. It literally means the reticle is located behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the scope. Deciding upon the most beneficial form of rifle optic is based upon what style of hunting or shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Glass Facts
First focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the identical tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification 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.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture without space used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Scope Magnification
The amount of magnification a scope offers is figured out by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Rifle Glass Info
A single power rifle scope and optic uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of scope can not fluctuate given that it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Scope Facts
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification increments. These types of scopes will list the zoom level in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the zoom of the scope could be set in between 2x and 10x power. This always involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is achieved by working with the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power Level and Range of Glass
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the distances where they can be effectively used. Consider that higher magnification scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification level scope and optics since excessive zoom can be a bad thing. The same relates to longer distances where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Lens Finish
All top of the line rifle scope lenses are layered. Lens finish can be an essential aspect of a rifle when looking at high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Scope Lens Coatings
Some glass makers also use “HD” or high-def lense finishes which use different procedures, chemicals, polarizations, and elements to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-def coating is normally used with increased density lens glass which brings down light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to describe “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable over objects with hard shapes as light hits the object from various angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Optics
Various optic lenses can likewise have different coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect 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 covered lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Covering for Glass
Water on a lens doesn’t help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting options for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally are made in quick release versions which use throw levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly mount and remove the scope.
Hex Key Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp style mounting optic rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use a pair of independent rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are manufactured for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is ideal for rifles which need a durable, unfailing mount which will not move despite just how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should get for a dedicated optics setup on a long distance scouting or tournament long gun which will pretty much never need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used to stop the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted firmly in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from Vortex Optics. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Scope Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly take off a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten nicely to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping precision. These kinds of mounts come in beneficial for rifles which are hauled around a lot, to remove the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are adopted in between numerous rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics brand. It normally costs around $250 USD
About Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can spoil a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and developing residue within the scope’s tube. The majority of scopes prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these water-resistant scopes can be immersed underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample moisture prevention for common use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle boating and are concerned about the optic still working if it falls overboard and you can still retrieve the rifle.
Info Around Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less influenced by climate changes and pressure differences from the outside environment which could possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
