What You Need to Know About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to take into account many ecological considerations like wind speed and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern-day rifle optics have about eleven parts which are found internally 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. See all eleven parts of a scope.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Selecting the perfect type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non magnified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are low
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” as well as “lead” ratios for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnifying lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the exact same dimensions in relation to the quantity of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements alter based upon the magnification employed to shoot over greater distances considering the markings represent different increments which can vary with the magnification level. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These styles of scopes work for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots happen within shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture with less area used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Glass
The extent of scope zoom you need on your scope depends on the sort of shooting you wish to do. Virtually every kind of rifle scope gives some degree of zoom. The level of magnification a scope delivers is established by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This indicates what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power element of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optic Info
A single power rifle scope and optic uses a zoom 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 type of scope can not fluctuate given that it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Optic Info
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power modification is achieved by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range Correlation of Optics
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they could be effectively used. Highly magnified glass will not be as effective as lower powered optics due to the fact that too much magnification can be a bad thing. The same goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see where to best aim the rifle.
About Rifle Scope Lens Coatings
All modern-day rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of glass lens coverings. Lens finish can be an important aspect of a rifle when thinking about high-end rifle optics and scope equipment. The glass lenses are one of the most key components of the optic considering that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The coating on the lenses offers protection to the lens surface area and even helps with anti glare from refracted sunshine and color discernibility.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some scope suppliers will also use “HD” or high-def glass finishings which take advantage of different processes, chemicals, aspects, and polarizations to enhance a wide range of color ranges and viewable definition through the lens. This high-def finishing is typically used with more costly high density glass which reduces light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be visible around things with hard edges and outlines as light hits the item from certain angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Scopes
Different optic lenses can likewise have various coatings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope producer and the amount you spent paying for it. Both are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has numerous treatments applied to them. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking multiple actions to combat various natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of glass used in building the rifle glass.
Anti-water Lens Coverings
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering.
Choices for Installing Rifle Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly mount and remove the scopes.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp-on type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two individual rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for far away accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is very good for rifle systems which need a resilient, unfailing mount which will not move regardless of how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should get for a faithful scope system on a far away hunting or sniper competition long gun which will pretty much never need to be modified or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the scope mount screws to stop the hex screw threads from backing out after they are mounted tightly in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics company. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and remove a scope from a rifle. If they all use a comparable design mount, a number of scopes can often be switched out in the field. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect nicely to a flat top design 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 maintaining accuracy. These types of mounts are useful and beneficial for shooting platforms which are carried a lot, to take off the scope from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are employed in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It normally costs around $250 USD
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day on the range and your highly-priced optic by causing fogging and creating residue within the scope tube. The majority of optics protect against moisture from getting in the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Usually, these water-resistant scopes can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough wetness prevention for conventional use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle boating and are concerned about the scope still functioning if it is submerged in water and you can still salvage the gun.
Info Around Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less influenced by condition shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which could potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
