Rifle Optic Information
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by making use of a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for the consideration of varied ecological aspects like wind and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land 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 modern rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are arranged within and on the exterior of the optic. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a scope.
Rifle Glass Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Choosing the perfect type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info About First Focal Plane Glass
First focal plane optics (FFP) include 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 benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the identical tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture with less room taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Rifle Optic Magnification
The quantity of zoom a scope provides is determined by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change given that it is fixed.
About Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power modification is accomplished by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range Correlation of Glass
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they could be successfully used. Consider that higher magnification optics and scopes will not be as practical as lower powered scope and optics because increased zoom can be a detractor. The same relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Rifle Glass Lens Finishes
All present day rifle glass lenses are covered. Lens finish can be a significant element of a shooting platform when buying high end rifle optics and scope systems.
About Rifle Optic Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope suppliers even use “HD” or high-def glass finishings which make the most of various processes, components, compounds, and polarizations to enhance numerous color ranges and viewable target visibility through lenses. This HD finish is frequently used with higher density lens glass which lowers light’s opportunity to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious around items with hard edges and shapes as light hits the object from specific angles.
What to Know About Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various finishes applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or finishing applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is due to the fact that the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope designer and how much you spent for it. The scope’s maker and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
Details on Anti-water Finish
Water on an optic’s lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Numerous top of the line or high-end optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior of the Steiner scope lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Glass on Long Guns
Installing approaches for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Standard, clamp design 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is created for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly remove a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Info Around Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Glass Tubes
Another part of avoiding the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less influenced by condition shifts and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which may possibly enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
