Scope Details
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They do this through magnification using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for consideration of different environmental considerations like wind and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand exactly 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 intended target. Many contemporary rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are found internally and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of a scope.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Going for the optimal type of rifle glass is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” plus “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (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.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture without room taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Rifle Glass Magnification
The extent of scope magnification you need on your glass depends upon the kind of shooting you choose to do. Virtually every kind of rifle optic provides some level of magnification. The amount of zoom a scope supplies is determined by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle optic. The magnifying level of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This means what the shooter is checking out through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
About Single Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not fluctuate because it is fixed.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass Info
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification levels. It will note the magnification degree in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope could be set in between 2x and 10x power. This always includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is accomplished by operating the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Rifle Optic Power and Ranges
Here are some recommended scope powers and the distances where they may be effectively used. Highly magnified scopes will not be as efficient as lower powered rifle scope glass because too much magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same idea applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Scope Lens Finish
All cutting-edge rifle scope lenses are coated. Lens finishing is an essential element of a shooting platform when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
ED Versus HD Glass
Some scope producers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different methods, components, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Optics
Different optic lenses can likewise have various coatings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope company and the amount you spent paying for it. Both are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coating
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t assist with retaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line or high-end scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the exterior of the Steiner glass lens so the water particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Mounting Optics on Long Guns
Installing solutions for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Glass Rings
Standard, clamp-on design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These styles of scope mounts use double independent rings to support the optic, 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 excellent for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not move regardless of how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you really want to have for a devoted optics setup on a far away scouting or hard target interdiction long gun which will almost never need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the scope mount screws to keep the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted tightly in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and remove a scope from a rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten nicely 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 back on the rifle while retaining accuracy. These types of mounts come in beneficial for rifles which are carried a lot, to take off the scope from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are adopted in between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
Details on Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes prevent wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Info on Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less impacted by condition alterations and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which could potentially enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
