Scope Facts
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnification using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to account for different natural considerations like wind and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Most modern rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are found inside and on the exterior of the scope. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
Rifle Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The style of focal plane an optic has decides where the reticle or crosshair is located relative to the scopes magnifying adjustments. It actually means the reticle is situated behind or before the magnifying lens of the scope. Picking the most ideal kind of rifle scope is based upon what style of shooting or hunting you intend on doing.
First Focal Plane Optic Facts
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the extent 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. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture without area taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Glass Magnification
The amount of zoom a scope offers is determined by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info on Single Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle optic and scope will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change since it is set from the factory.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is accomplished by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Glass Power and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they can be successfully used. High power rifle scope glass will not be as effective as lower powered glass because too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The very same idea relates to longer distances where the shooter needs adequate power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Scope Lens Covering
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens finish is a crucial element of a rifle system when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Scope Lens Coatings
Some glass producers even use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which employ various processes, chemical applications, polarizations, and elements to extract various color ranges and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-definition coating is frequently used with more costly high density glass which decreases light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to describe “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be obvious over objects with hard edges and outlines as light hits the object from particular angles.
Single Scope Lens Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various coatings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some kind of treatment or covering applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It must have a finish placed on it so that the lens will be efficiently functional in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and improving 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 developer and just how much you spent for it. The scope’s maker and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This suggests the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives several treatments, it can establish that a manufacturer is taking numerous actions to fight various natural factors like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also does not always indicate the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the maker’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of components used in creating the rifle glass.
Hydrophobic Glass Lens Finishing
Water on a lens does not help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic anti-water finishing.
Options for Mounting Optics on Firearms
Mounting options for scopes come in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also typically are made in quick release versions which use manual levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is fine for rifles which require a long lasting, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by resulting in fogging and developing residue within the scope’s tube. The majority of optics protect against humidity from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these water-resistant optics can be immersed underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample humidity avoidance for common use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle on boats and are worried about the scope still functioning if it falls overboard and you can still salvage the firearm.
Glass Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding 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 scope is less altered by temperature shifts and pressure distinctions from the external environment which might possibly allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
