Info Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for various ecological aspects like wind and elevation decreases 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 seeing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of contemporary rifle optics have around eleven parts which are arranged within and on the exterior of the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets or dials, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of optics.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The type of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the optic’s magnification. It literally suggests the reticle is situated behind or ahead of the magnification lens of the scope. Picking out the most effective style of rifle optic is dependent on what type of shooting you anticipate doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified range as they are at the non magnified range. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without any “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” plus “lead” correlations for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture without space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Optics
The amount of zoom a scope offers is determined by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not adjust considering that it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power adjustment is performed by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range Correlation of Rifle Scopes
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Bear in mind that high power optics and scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics and scopes since excessive zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Lens Finish
All modern-day rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. There are different types and qualities of coverings. Lens covering can be an important aspect of a rifle when thinking of high end rifle optics and targeting equipment. The lenses are among the most crucial components of the scope since they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The coating on the lenses shields the lens surface area as well as improves anti glare from excess sunlight and color profiles.
ED Versus HD Glass
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different methods, polarizations, chemicals, and elements to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different coatings used 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.
This lens treatment can protect 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 layered lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has had several treatments applied to them. If a lens receives several treatments, it can indicate that a producer is taking multiple steps to fight various natural factors like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single layered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle optic.
Info on Anti-water Finish
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish.
Scope Installing Alternatives
Installing approaches for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also usually come in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly mount and remove the glass.
Scope Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for far away accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is effective for rifle systems which need to have a long lasting, hard use mount which will not shift regardless of just how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should have for a devoted scope system on a long distance scouting or hard target interdiction rifle which will pretty much never need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the screws to prevent the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted firmly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by Vortex Optics. The set usually costs around $200 USD
Glass Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and remove a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar style mount, several scopes can also be swapped out in the field. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten nicely to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while keeping the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts are useful and convenient for rifles which are transported a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are employed in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Details on Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and generating residue within the scope tube. A lot of optics prevent humidity from entering the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Normally, these water resistant optics can be immersed within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough moisture avoidance for basic use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are worried about the scope still functioning if it is submerged in water and you can still salvage the firearm.
Gas Purged Rifle Glass Tubes
Another part of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is currently occupied by the gas, the glass is less impacted by climate shifts and pressure variations from the outside environment which could potentially enable water vapor to permeate 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.
