What You Need to Know About Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to account for various ecological considerations like wind and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern rifle optics have about 11 parts which are arranged inside and externally on the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Picking the best type of rifle optic is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Glass
First focal plane glass (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the level of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are small
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
About 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 measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture with less space used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Zoom for Rifle Optics
The quantity of scope magnification you need on your glass is based on the type of shooting you wish to do. Just about every type of rifle scope offers some degree of zoom. The quantity of magnification a scope supplies is established by the size, thickness, and curves of the lenses within the rifle scope. The zoom of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This denotes what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Scope Details
A single power rifle optic uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not fluctuate given that it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification levels. It will list the zoom amount in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the zoom of the scope can be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This also includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished by making use of the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Rifle Glass Power and Ranges
Here are some advised scope power levels and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Keep in mind that higher magnification optics will not be as efficient as lower powered scope and optics since too much magnification can be a detractor. The exact same concept goes for longer distances where the shooter needs to have increased power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Lens Covering for Rifle Optics
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are layered. There are various types and qualities of coverings. When shopping for high end rifle optics and scope systems, Lens finishing can be a vital aspect of a rifle. The lenses are one of the most crucial components of the scope as they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses shields the lens surface area and also improves anti glare from excess natural light and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some rifle glass manufacturers also use “HD” or high-def glass coverings which apply different procedures, components, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable target visibility through lenses. This high-definition finishing is commonly used with more costly, high density glass which decreases light’s opportunity to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope suppliers use “HD” to describe “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often visible around things with defined shapes as light hits the item from specific angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating for Optics
Different optic lenses can likewise have various coverings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect 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 maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Rifle Glass Lens Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic anti-water coating.
Choices for Installing Scopes on Firearms
Installing approaches for scopes are available 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 different types of mounts also typically come in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
Basic, clamp type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use double detached rings to support the optic, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for far away accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is exceptional for rifle systems which are in need of a durable, unfailing mount which will not shift no matter how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you want for a devoted scope system on a reach out and touch someone scouting or competitors long gun that will pretty much never need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the scope mount’s screws to stop the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted securely in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by Vortex Optics. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifle platforms which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between several rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Scope Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle glass can wreck a day on the range and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many optics protect against wetness from entering the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Typically, these water resistant scopes can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient wetness prevention for standard use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are worried about the optic still functioning if it is submerged in water and you can still find the rifle.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another part of avoiding the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less impacted by temperature level shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which may possibly allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
