Glass Facts
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through zoom by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for numerous natural aspects like wind and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. The majority of modern-day rifle optics have around eleven parts which are found within and outside of the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment 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” type of scopes. The sort of focal plane an optic has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located relative to the scopes magnification. It actually suggests the reticle is located behind or before the magnifying lens of the optic. Choosing the most desired type of rifle scope is based upon what style of shooting or hunting you anticipate doing.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of magnification being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non magnified distance. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without having “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are very little
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the exact same overall size relative to the amount of zoom being used. The final result is that the reticle dimensions change based upon the zoom used to shoot over lengthier distances considering that the markings represent various increments which change with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These sorts of scopes are handy for:
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less area taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Rifle Scope Zoom
The amount of zoom a scope provides is identified by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not change given that it is fixed.
Variable Power Lens Glass Details
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the magnification amount in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope can be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This always includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is accomplished by operating the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some suggested scope powers and the ranges where they can be effectively used. Keep in mind that high power optics will not be as effective as lower magnification level scopes due to the fact that increased zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same concept relates to extended ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
About Rifle Scope Lens Coverings
All top of the line rifle scope and optic lenses are coated. Lens finishing can be a vital aspect of a shooting system when looking at high end rifle optics and scope setups.
Details on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some optic producers also use “HD” or high-def glass coatings which take advantage of various processes, polarizations, rare earth compounds, and elements to enhance numerous color ranges and viewable definition through lenses. This HD coating is frequently used with greater density lens glass which decreases light’s opportunity to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to describe “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be noticeable over things with defined shapes as light hits the item from specific angles.
Single Rifle Scope Lens Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various finishings 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.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope maker and how much you spent on it. Both the manufacturer and amount are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This indicates the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can prove that a company is taking numerous actions to fight different natural aspects like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also does not always suggest the multi-coated lens is much better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of glass used in developing the rifle optic.
About Hydrophobic Covering
Water on a lens does not help with keeping 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 hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish.
Optic Installing Choices
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally come in quick release versions which use throw levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly mount and remove the optics.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
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 developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which need a resilient, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Optic Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used between numerous rifles.
Info Around Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle glass can wreck a day on the range and your pricey optic by inducing fogging and generating residue within the scope’s tube. A lot of optics prevent humidity from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these water resistant 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 more than enough moisture avoidance for standard use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle boating and are concerned about the scope still performing if it is submerged in water and you can still rescue the firearm.
Info Around Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope’s 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 influenced by climate shifts and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which might possibly enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
