What You Need to Know About Optics
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 utilizing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to take into account many natural elements like wind speed and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most contemporary rifle optics have around eleven parts which are located inside and outside of the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding upon the finest type of rifle glass depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This causes 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 magnified range as they are at the non magnified 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 kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle behind the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to remain at the exact same dimensions in connection with the amount of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle dimensions change based upon the zoom chosen to shoot over lengthier ranges given that the reticle markings present distinct increments which can vary with the zoom. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These kinds of optics are beneficial for:
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture with less space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Optic Magnification
The quantity of zoom a scope supplies 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.
About Fixed Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope or optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not change given that it is set from the factory.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass Details
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power change is accomplished by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Scopes
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the distances where they can be successfully used. High power rifle scope glass will not be as efficient as lower magnification scopes due to the fact that too much magnification can be a bad thing. The same concept goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Info on Lens Covering
All contemporary rifle optic lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of glass finishings. When thinking about high end rifle scope units, Lens finish can be a critical component of a rifle. The glass lenses are among the most important components of the optic due to the fact that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The covering on the lenses shields the lens exterior and even helps with anti glare from excess natural light and color perception.
Details on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope manufacturers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various techniques, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Scopes
Different optic lenses can also have different finishes applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in many types of environments, degrees of light (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less helpful 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 similarly 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 innovation and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Glass Lens Covering
Water on an optic’s lens does not help with maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Lots of top of the line and premium optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It provides protection for the surface of the Steiner scope lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Glass on Firearms
Installing options for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally come in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the glass.
Rifle Glass Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Normal, clamp style 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 a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long range precision shooting. This type of scope mount is perfect for rifles which need a durable, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope 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 come in handy for rifle platforms which are transferred a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes prevent wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Rifle Glass Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the buildup of wetness within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less impacted by climate shifts and pressure differences from the outside environment which may potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
