About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through zoom by making use of a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for consideration of various ecological things like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are located internally and externally on the scope. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Finding the best type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Optic Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the level of zoom being used. The result 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 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (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 would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture with less area used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Scopes
The quantity of scope zoom you need is based on the style of shooting you want to do. Just about every type of rifle optic delivers some level of zoom. The amount of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This implies what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic or scope 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 zoom of this type of optic can not change considering that it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Optic Facts
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification increments. It will note the magnification degree in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope can be set between 2x and 10x power. This always incorporates the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished using the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power and Range of Glass
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Highly magnified optics will not be as effective as lower powered optics given that too much magnification can be a bad thing. The same concept applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Details on Rifle Glass Lens Coatings
All contemporary rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens covering can be an essential aspect of a shooting platform when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some glass producers will also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which take advantage of different processes, rare earth compounds, elements, and polarizations to enhance a wide range of color ranges and viewable definition through lenses. This high-def finish is commonly used with greater density glass which brings down light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be obvious over things with hard edges and shapes as light hits the item from certain angles.
Glass Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or covering applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic. This is because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently functional in lots of kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing 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 on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Info on Hydrophobic Finish
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating.
Rifle Scope Mounting Choices
Mounting solutions for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also normally are made in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly mount and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Standard, clamp type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These styles of scope mounts use double independent rings to support the optic, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for far away precision shooting. This kind of scope mount is good for rifles which need to have a resilient, rock solid mount which will not shift no matter just how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should get for a devoted scope system on a reach out and touch someone scouting or competition long gun which will rarely need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the scope mount screws to prevent the hex screws from wiggling out after they are installed tightly in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set usually costs around $200 USD
Scope Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for long guns which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between several rifles.
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your highly-priced optic by triggering fogging and developing residue within the scope tube. The majority of optics protect against moisture from going into the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these water-resistant scopes 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 moisture prevention for conventional use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are concerned about the scope still performing if it is submerged in water and you can still retrieve the firearm.
What to Know About Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less altered by temperature changes and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which could possibly permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
