Scope Facts
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They do this through magnifying the target by utilizing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to take into account numerous ecological considerations like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most modern rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are located within and externally on the optic. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
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 glass is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Glass Info
First focal plane optics (FFP) include the reticle before the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified range as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane glass (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to stay at the very same scale in connection with the level of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle dimensions adjust based upon the magnification used to shoot over longer ranges because the reticle markings present various increments which can vary with the zoom. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These particular kinds of optics work for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture with less space used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Glass Zoom
The amount of zoom a scope supplies is figured out by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Optic Info
A single power rifle optic and scope will have 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 zoom of this kind of scope can not change considering that it is a set power scope.
Info About Adjustable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power change is accomplished using 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 power settings and the ranges where they could be efficiently used. Highly magnified optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level optics due to the fact that too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same concept goes for longer distances where the shooter needs enough power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Optic Lens Finish
All state-of-the-art rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens finish can be an important element of a rifle system when looking at high end rifle optics and scope systems.
Info on Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope brands likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different techniques, chemicals, components, and polarizations to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be optimally functional in lots of types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope company and how much money you spent paying for it. Both the manufacturer and amount are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has had multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can show that a maker is taking multiple steps to fight various environmental factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This additionally doesn’t always indicate the multi-coated lens is better than a single coated lens. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of products used in creating the rifle optic.
Info on Anti-water Finish
Water on a lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering.
Optic Installing Choices
Installing approaches 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 typically can be found in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the optics.
Rifle Optic Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design 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 separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is perfect for rifles which require a long lasting, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach firmly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving precision. These types of mounts are useful and practical for rifles which are transferred a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are chosen for use in between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics brand. It generally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Scope Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less altered by climate shifts and pressure variations from the external environment which could possibly permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
