Scope Information
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnification by making use of a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for the consideration of separate natural considerations like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many contemporary rifle optics have around 11 parts which are found within and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The style of focal plane a scope has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the scopes magnifying adjustments. It literally means the reticle is behind or before the magnification lens of the scope. Looking for the most desired form of rifle glass is based upon what kind of shooting or hunting you anticipate doing.
First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnification 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.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture without area used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Rifle Optic Zoom
The level of scope magnification you need is based on the kind of shooting you plan to do. Virtually every type of rifle glass provides some degree of zoom. The quantity of zoom a scope provides is determined by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This signifies what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Info on Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not fluctuate since it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification power levels. These types of scopes will note the magnification degree in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers mean the zoom of the scope can be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This always incorporates 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.
Rifle Glass Power and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Keep in mind that high power optics will not be as effective as lower powered scope and optics since excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Rifle Optic Lens Finish
All modern rifle optic and scope lenses are coated. Lens coating can be an important element of a shooting platform when considering high end rifle optics and scope setups.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some optic producers additionally use “HD” or high-def glass finishings that make the most of different processes, chemical applications, polarizations, and aspects to draw out various color ranges and viewable target visibility through lenses. This high-def coating is typically used with greater density lens glass which brings down light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable over objects with defined shapes as light hits the object from particular angles.
Single Optic Lens Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various scope lenses can also have different finishings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single covered lens depends upon 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 manufacturers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets several treatments, it can indicate that a producer is taking several actions to combat different natural factors like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This additionally does not always mean the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” hinges on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of glass used in creating the rifle optic.
Hydrophobic Coating for Optics
Water on a lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating.
Choices for Mounting Rifle Optics on Firearms
Installing approaches for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also usually are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly mount and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope install is fine for rifles which require a durable, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and remove a scope from a 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 connect nicely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving precision. These kinds of mounts come in convenient for rifles which are transferred a lot, to take off the glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are employed between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It normally costs around $250 USD
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Scope Tubes
Another component of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is currently occupied by the gas, the glass is less influenced by condition changes and pressure variations from the external environment which could potentially permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
