Facts About Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through zoom by using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account varied natural aspects like wind speed and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing with the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern-day rifle optics have about 11 parts which are arranged inside and externally on the optic. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of scopes.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding upon the best type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” and “lead” equations for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom 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 measurement.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture with less room used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Zoom for Glass
The amount of zoom a scope supplies is figured out 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 Scope Info
A single power rifle optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not change since it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Scope Info
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification increments. These types of scopes will list the zoom amount in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope could be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This also includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is accomplished by making use of the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some advised scope powers and the distances where they may be efficiently used. High power glass will not be as efficient as lower magnification scopes because too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The very same idea applies to longer distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Rifle Optic Lens Covering
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens finishing is an important aspect of a shooting system when considering high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Optic Lens Coatings
Some glass manufacturers also use “HD” or high-def lens finishes that apply different processes, polarizations, elements, and chemicals to enhance separate color ranges and viewable definition through lenses. This HD coating is typically used with increased density glass which drops light’s ability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to describe “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 similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious over objects with hard edges and shapes as light hits the object from certain angles.
Single Rifle Glass Lens Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic. Since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a finish placed on it so that it will be efficiently functional in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while lowering 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 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” covered. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coverings
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t support retaining a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Many top of the line or premium scope producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the surface of the Steiner scope lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Scope Mounting Alternatives
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also normally come in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp-on style mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These forms of scope mounts use a pair of independent rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for far away accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is effective for rifle systems which require a resilient, unfailing mount which will not move no matter just how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should get for a devoted scope system on a far away hunting or sniper competition long gun which will hardly ever need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the mount’s screws to prevent the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted securely in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics brand. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and detach a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, a number of scopes can often be switched out. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach firmly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while maintaining precision. These kinds of mounts come in beneficial for shooting platforms which are moved a lot, to take off the scope from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are chosen for use between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It typically costs around $250 USD
Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle glass can spoil a day on the range and your costly optic by inducing fogging and generating residue within the scope tube. A lot of scopes protect against moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Typically, 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 ample moisture avoidance for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are worried about the optic still performing if it falls overboard and you can still rescue the gun.
Rifle Optic Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less impacted by climate alterations and pressure variations from the external environment which might potentially permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
