About Scopes
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnifying the target by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for consideration of many ecological things 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 viewing via the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are found inside and externally on the optic. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
About Rifle Glass Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The form of focal plane a scope has decides where the reticle or crosshair lies in regard to the optic’s magnification. It literally means the reticle is behind or before the magnifying lens of the optic. Picking out the most suitable kind of rifle glass is based upon what form of shooting you intend on undertaking.
Info on First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Details
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the very same dimensions in relation to the volume of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle measurements shift based on the zoom employed to shoot over greater distances considering the markings present different increments which vary with the zoom level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These varieties of scopes are useful for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Glass
The quantity of zoom a scope provides is figured out by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optic Info
A single power rifle optic and scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not fluctuate given that it is a fixed power optic.
About Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified levels. The power adjustment is performed by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range of Glass
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the ranges where they could be efficiently used. Highly magnified optics will not be as effective as lower magnification level glass considering that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Rifle Glass Lens Finish
All top of the line rifle scope lenses are coated. Lens covering can be an essential aspect of a rifle’s setup when buying high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Scopes
Some optic makers will also use “HD” or high-definition lense finishes which use different processes, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to extract numerous colors and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-definition finishing is frequently used with more costly high density lens glass which decreases light’s potential to refract through the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable around objects with hard edges and outlines as light hits the item from specific angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating for Scopes
Various scope lenses can even have various coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. 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 must have a coating put on it so that the lens will be efficiently functional in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while decreasing 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 on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Coatings
Water on a lens doesn’t help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating.
Rifle Optic Installing Choices
Mounting solutions for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly mount and remove the scope.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which need a long lasting, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounts
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and remove a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar style mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect securely 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 retaining the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts are useful and handy for rifles which are shipped a lot, to take off the glass from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are employed between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Scope Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Info on Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less influenced by temperature shifts and pressure distinctions from the external environment which might potentially permit water vapor to leak 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.
