What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by making use of a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account separate environmental factors like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing via the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. A lot of contemporary rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are located inside and outside of the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding on the best type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are minor
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle behind the zoom 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 reticle measurement.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture with less space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
About Glass Magnification
The quantity of scope magnification you need on your scope depends upon the form of shooting you desire to do. Virtually every style of rifle optic delivers some degree of zoom. The level of zoom a scope gives is identified by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This signifies what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Glass Details
A single power rifle optic or scope will have a zoom 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 type of optic can not change since it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified levels. The power change is achieved by the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Optic Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they may be efficiently used. Keep in mind that high magnification optics and scopes will not be as effective as lower powered glass since increased zoom can be a detractor. The exact same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Rifle Glass Lens Covering
All contemporary rifle optic lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of glass finishes. When looking at high end rifle optical systems, Lens coating can be a crucial component of defining the capability of the rifle. The glass lenses are one of the most crucial components of the glass considering that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses shields the lens exterior and even helps with anti glare capabilities from refracted daylight and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Rifle Optic Lens Coatings
Some scope brands likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use different processes, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Glass Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various finishings used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends upon the scope designer and the amount you spent for it. Both the manufacturer and amount are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This means the lens has had numerous treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can indicate that a manufacturer is taking multiple actions to combat different environmental aspects like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also doesn’t necessarily suggest the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of glass used in creating the rifle optic.
Hydrophobic Rifle Glass Lens Coating
Water on a scope lens doesn’t assist with preserving a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Lots of top of the line and high-end scope producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the surface of the Steiner glass lens so the water particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Glass Installing Alternatives
Mounting options for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically come in quick release versions which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to quickly install and dismount the scopes.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use double individual rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are made for far away accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is very good for rifle systems which are in need of a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should get for a specialized optics setup on a far away scouting or competition firearm that will seldom need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the screws to protect against the hex screw threads from backing out after they are mounted tightly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from the Vortex Optics company. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used between multiple rifles.
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Rifle Optic Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less influenced by climate alterations and pressure differences from the external environment which may potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
