Scope Facts
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to take into account many environmental considerations like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are located inside and on the exterior of the optic. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The style of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies in connection with the scopes zoom. It actually indicates the reticle is situated behind or in front of the magnification lens of the scope. Looking for the most beneficial sort of rifle optic is based on what style of shooting or hunting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane optics (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified range as they are at the non magnified range. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without any “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom 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 reticle measurement.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic picture without space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Glass Zoom
The quantity of zoom a scope provides is figured out by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info on Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic or scope uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not fluctuate since it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will list the magnification degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the zoom of the scope can be set between 2x and 10x power. This always involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is accomplished by working with the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some suggested scope powers and the distances where they could be successfully used. High power optics will not be as useful as lower magnification level optics considering too much magnification can be a bad thing. The same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Details on Lens Coverings
All modern-day rifle optic and scope lenses are layered. There are different types and qualities of lens finishes. When looking at high end rifle optics and scope setups, Lens covering can be a very important element of a rifle. The glass lenses are one of the most critical components of the glass as they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finishing on the lenses protects the lens exterior and even helps with anti glare from excess sunrays and color visibility.
HD Versus ED Rifle Glass Lens Coatings
Some rifle scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lense finishes which apply different procedures, polarizations, chemicals, and components to extract separate colors and viewable definition through lenses. This high-def finishing is frequently used with more costly high density glass which reduces light’s potential to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to describe “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be visible over items with hard shapes as light hits the object from particular angles.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different finishings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be optimally functional in lots of types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and boosting 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 layered lens depends upon the scope manufacturer and how much money you spent paying for it. Both are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has numerous treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can show that a manufacturer is taking multiple steps to combat various environmental aspects like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also doesn’t necessarily indicate the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of components used in building the rifle glass.
Anti-water Lens Finishing
Water on an optical lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads roll off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Optic Mounting Options
Installing options for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally can be found in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the glass.
Rifle Optic Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design 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 separate rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is fine for rifles which need a resilient, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between multiple rifles.
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Rifle Optic Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less impacted by condition alterations and pressure variations 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 decent rifle scope to look for.
