Rifle Optic Details
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to account for many environmental factors like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of contemporary rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are located inside and externally on the scope. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding on the finest type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified range as they are at the non magnified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are practical for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” plus “lead” ratios for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
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” 100 yard tick reticle measurement 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 happen within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture with less space taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
About Optic Magnification
The quantity of zoom a scope offers is figured out by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope and optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not adjust because it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the zoom level in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the zoom of the scope could be set between 2x and 10x power. This always incorporates the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is accomplished by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some suggested scope powers and the distances where they may be successfully used. Always remember that high power scopes will not be as practical as lower magnification level scopes due to the fact that excessive zoom can be a detractor. The very same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Glass Lens Finish
All modern rifle scope lenses are layered. There are various types and qualities of finishings. Lens covering can be an essential aspect of a rifle when looking at luxury rifle optics and targeting units. The lenses are among the most critical parts of the scope because they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses safeguards the lens exterior as well as improves anti glare from refracted direct sunlight and color visibility.
ED Versus HD Rifle Glass
Some scope producers also use “HD” or high-definition glass coatings that employ different processes, rare earth compounds, elements, and polarizations to extract different color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-definition covering is often used with greater density lens glass which brings down light’s capability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be visible around objects with well defined outlines as light hits the object from certain angles.
What to Know About Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends upon the scope designer and how much you spent for it. The scope’s maker and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Coating
Water on a lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and high-end scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating.
Rifle Optic Installation Alternatives
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the scopes.
Rifle Scope Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount 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 created for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which require a long lasting, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect nicely to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while keeping the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts are useful and beneficial for rifles which are transported a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are used in between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics brand. It normally costs around $250 USD
Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can spoil a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and creating residue within the scope’s tube. Most scopes prevent wetness from getting in the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Typically, these optics can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of wetness avoidance for standard use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle sailing and are worried about the optic still performing if it goes over the side and you can still recover the rifle.
Gas Purged Scope Tubes
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less affected by climate changes and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which may possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
