Rifle Optic Information
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account separate natural things like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have about eleven parts which are found internally and on the exterior of the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Picking the optimal type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane glass (FFP) feature the reticle ahead of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the extent of magnification being used. The outcome 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 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the exact same tick at 100 yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the zoom 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 measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture without space used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Rifle Scope Magnification
The amount of zoom a scope supplies is identified 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.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope or optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not change because it is fixed.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scope Details
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified levels. The power modification is achieved by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Scope Power Level and Ranges
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the ranges where they may be efficiently used. Always remember that higher magnification optics will not be as practical as lower powered optics since excessive magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The very same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Rifle Scope Lens Covering
All contemporary rifle optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of glass lens finishes. When considering luxury rifle optics and scope units, Lens finishing can be an important element of defining the capability of the rifle. The glass lenses are one of the most critical components of the scope as they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The covering on the lenses offers protection to the lens surface and even assists with anti glare from excess daylight and color exposure.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope brands also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various techniques, aspects, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
What to Know About Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have different finishings 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 offer protection to the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can show that a manufacturer is taking numerous actions to combat different environmental aspects like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not always indicate the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” hinges on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in building the rifle optic.
Scope Lens Hydrophobic Coating
Water on a lens does not help with preserving 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 anti-water finish.
Rifle Scope Installing Options
Installing approaches for scopes come 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 various kinds of mounts also usually can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which enable rifle operators to quickly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Basic, clamp-on type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use two independent rings to support the scope, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for long distance accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is exceptional for rifles which need to have a resilient, rock solid mount which will not shift no matter how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should have for a faithful optics setup on a long distance scouting or tournament long gun that will seldom need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used to protect against the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted securely in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by Vortex Optics. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Scope Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
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 handy for rifle platforms which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between numerous rifles.
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can destroy a day on the range and your highly-priced optic by inducing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes prevent moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these water-resistant scopes can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient moisture content avoidance for conventional use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle on boats and are worried about the optic still functioning if it is submerged in water and you can still retrieve the gun.
Info on Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less impacted by climate changes and pressure distinctions from the external environment which might potentially allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
