Rifle Scope Info
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by utilizing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account separate natural elements like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing with the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are found inside and outside of the scope. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials or turrets, objective 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 optics. Selecting the perfect type of rifle glass depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scope Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without having “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” plus “lead” ratios for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same dimensions in relation to the level of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements shift based on the magnification employed to shoot over greater distances considering the markings present different increments which differ with the magnification level. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular types of glass work for:
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture with less area used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
About Glass Zoom
The measure of scope magnification you need on your glass is based on the kind of shooting you like to do. Nearly every type of rifle glass delivers some degree of magnification. The level of magnification a scope provides is identified by the size, density, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The magnification level of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This suggests what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not change since it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Scope Info
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power adjustment is accomplished by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the distances where they can be successfully used. Always remember that higher power optics will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics since too much magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same concept applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
About Lens Covering
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of coverings. When looking at high end rifle optics and scope setups, Lens covering can be a vital component of defining the capability of the rifle. The lenses are one of the most vital pieces of the optic given that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The covering on the lenses safeguards the lens surface area and also helps with anti glare capabilities from excess sunrays and color profiles.
HD Versus ED Scope Lens Coatings
Some rifle glass producers additionally use “HD” or high-def lens finishings that make the most of different procedures, aspects, rare earth compounds, and polarizations to enhance separate color ranges and viewable definition through the lens. This high-definition finish is frequently used with greater density glass which reduces light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be obvious over things with defined shapes as light hits the object from particular angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various scope lenses can even have various coverings 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 assembly. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a coating placed on it so that the lens will be optimally usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope maker and how much money you spent on it. Both the make and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has had numerous treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can indicate that a maker is taking several steps to combat various natural elements like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in creating the rifle glass.
Info on Anti-water Finishing
Water on an optical lens does not assist with retaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Lots of top of the line or premium scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It deals with the exterior of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads slide off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Optic Mounting Options
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few 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 usually come in quick release variations which use throw levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly mount and remove the optics.
Rifle Scope Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These forms of scope mounts use two individual rings to support the scope, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is excellent for rifle systems which require a resilient, unfailing mount which will not change despite how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you want for a dedicated scope setup on a reach out and touch someone hunting or hard target interdiction rifle that will seldom need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the mount screws to stop the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted tightly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Glass Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly take off a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a complementary 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 enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping precision. These types of mounts come in practical for rifles which are transferred between vehicles a lot, to take off the glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are employed between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It generally costs around $250 USD
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your pricey optic by bringing about fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another component of preventing the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less impacted by condition shifts and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which could possibly enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
