What You Need to Know About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through zoom using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to account for various natural aspects like wind speed and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of contemporary rifle optics have around 11 parts which are found inside and externally on the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
Rifle Glass Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding on the perfect type of rifle optic is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Glass
First focal plane optics (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture with less room used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Scope Magnification
The quantity of scope zoom you need on your optic depends upon the form of shooting you plan to do. Virtually every type of rifle optic supplies some degree of zoom. The quantity of zoom a scope gives is identified by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle optic. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the scope. This implies what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power element of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Scope Facts
A single power rifle optic or scope uses a zoom 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 type of scope can not change since it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Scope Details
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification levels. It will note the magnification level in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the zoom of the scope could be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This also involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is achieved by employing the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Scope Power Level and Ranges
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they can be successfully used. Bear in mind that higher power optics and scopes will not be as practical as lower powered scope and optics due to the fact that excessive magnification can be a detractor. The same idea relates to longer distances where the shooter needs to have increased power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
About Lens Finishes
All present day rifle glass lenses are layered. Lens finishing can be a crucial element of a rifle’s setup when considering high end rifle optics and scope setups.
ED Versus HD Rifle Scopes
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use different methods, polarizations, chemicals, and aspects to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Glass
Different optic lenses can even have various finishings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully 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 shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope developer and just how much you spent paying for it. The scope’s maker and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This suggests the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can prove that a producer is taking numerous actions 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 always imply the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” depends upon the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle glass.
Anti-water Lens Finish
Water on a lens doesn’t help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish.
Options for Mounting Scopes on Firearms
Mounting options for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Ring Mounts
Basic, clamp-on type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use a pair of detached rings to support the optic, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for far away accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is good for rifles which are in need of a durable, hard use mount which will not change regardless of just how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should get for a faithful optics system on a far away scouting or interdiction firearm which will rarely need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on screws to keep the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted securely in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics company. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar style mount, several scopes can also be switched out in the field. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach solidly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while maintaining accuracy. These types of mounts are useful and handy for shooting platforms which are shipped a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are utilized between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Optic Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes avoid moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less influenced by climate alterations and pressure differences from the outside environment which may potentially enable water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
