Rifle Scope Facts
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnification by utilizing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for consideration of different natural considerations like wind and elevation decreases 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 seeing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most modern rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are located within and on the exterior of the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The type of focal plane an optic has establishes where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the scopes magnification. It simply indicates the reticle is located behind or before the magnification lens of the scope. Choosing the most effective kind of rifle glass is based upon what sort of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This causes 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 enhanced range as they are at the non magnified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” plus “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Facts
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture with less room taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Optic Magnification
The quantity of scope magnification you require depends upon the form of shooting you desire to do. Practically every style of rifle glass delivers some degree of zoom. The amount of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the diameter, density, and curves of the lenses within the rifle optic. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This implies what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power element of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle optic uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of scope can not change given that it is a fixed power scope.
Info on Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified settings. The power adjustment is achieved by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Glass Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they could be successfully used. Keep in mind that higher magnification glass will not be as efficient as lower powered glass due to the fact that increased zoom can be a bad thing. The same concept relates to longer distances where the shooter needs increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Rifle Scope Lens Finish
All modern-day rifle scope lenses are layered. There are various types and qualities of lens coverings. When thinking about luxury rifle targeting devices, Lens finishing can be a crucial element of defining the rifle’s capability. The glass lenses are one of the most essential components of the scope due to the fact that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finishing on the lenses shields the lens exterior and even improves anti glare from refracted light and color discernibility.
About Rifle Glass Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope brands likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various procedures, polarizations, chemicals, and elements to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Scope Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different coatings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being 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 must have a coating placed on it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in many types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less advantageous 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 how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives several treatments, it can show that a manufacturer is taking multiple actions to combat various environmental aspects like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally does not always suggest the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” depends upon the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Optic Lens Anti-water Coating
Water on a scope’s lens does not improve keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and high-end scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It treats the surface of the Steiner scope lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Mounting Rifle Glass on Firearms
Mounting solutions for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also generally can be found in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the scope.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Normal, 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, a number of scopes can also be swapped in the field. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach nicely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while preserving the original sighting settings. These types of mounts are useful and beneficial for rifles which are carried a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are chosen for use between numerous rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Details on Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes avoid wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Scope Tubes
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less impacted by condition changes and pressure variations from the outside environment which might potentially allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
