What You Need to Know About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for consideration of varied environmental factors like wind and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern-day rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are arranged within and on the exterior of the scope. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The type of focal plane an optic has decides where the reticle or crosshair is located relative to the scopes zoom. It literally means the reticle is behind or in front of the magnification lens of the scope. Choosing the best style of rifle glass depends on what sort of shooting or hunting you anticipate doing.
First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of 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 forms of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture with less room used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Glass Zoom
The measure of scope zoom you require depends on the style of shooting you intend to do. Almost every type of rifle optic provides some amount of magnification. The quantity of zoom a scope gives is identified by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This means what the shooter is observing through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not fluctuate since it is a fixed power scope.
Info on Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the magnification degree in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope can be changed between 2x and 10x power. This additionally incorporates the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is achieved by working with the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they could be efficiently used. High power glass will not be as beneficial as lower powered glass considering too much magnification can be a bad thing. The same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs adequate power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Optic Lens Finishes
All modern-day rifle optic and scope lenses are layered. There are different types and qualities of lens coverings. When looking at high end rifle optical devices, Lens covering can be an essential aspect of a rifle. The lenses are one of the most important parts of the scope considering that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finishing on the lenses shields the lens surface and also improves anti glare from excess daylight and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some glass makers also use “HD” or high-definition glass coatings which use different procedures, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable target visibility through lenses. This HD covering is typically used with increased density lens glass which lowers light’s ability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious around items with defined shapes as light hits the item from particular angles.
About Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have different coatings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or covering used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while decreasing 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 upon the scope designer and the amount you spent on it. Both are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has numerous treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets several treatments, it can show that a maker is taking numerous steps to combat various environmental aspects like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also does not necessarily mean the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” depends upon the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of components used in creating the rifle glass.
Anti-water Finishing for Rifle Optics
Water on a lens does not help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Many top of the line and premium scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior surfaces of the Steiner glass lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Installing Rifle Glass on Firearms
Installing approaches for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically are made in quick release variations which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the scopes.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which require a long lasting, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Ring Mounts
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 also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between several rifles.
What to Know About Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another part of preventing the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by temperature shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which could potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
