Facts About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through zoom by making use of a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for many natural things 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 viewing using the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are arranged inside and outside of the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of scopes.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding on the perfect type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on the level of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified range as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the identical tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are small
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnification 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 reticle measurement.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots happen within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture with less space used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Glass Magnification
The extent of scope zoom you need on your glass depends on the form of shooting you like to do. Practically every kind of rifle scope provides some degree of zoom. The quantity of zoom a scope delivers is identified by the dimension, thickness, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This suggests what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle scope and optic uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not change since it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power adjustment is accomplished by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they may be effectively used. Consider that higher magnification optics and scopes will not be as practical as lower powered optics and scopes because increased magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Lens Coating for Optics
All current rifle scope lenses are coated. Lens covering can be a crucial element of a rifle system when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some glass companies additionally use “HD” or high-def lense finishes which apply various processes, polarizations, components, and chemicals to extract various colors and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-definition covering is often used with more costly high density glass which drops light’s potential to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious over objects with hard outlines as light hits the item from various angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have various coverings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic. Since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It must have a finishing placed on it so that it will be optimally functional in many types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve 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 covered lens depends upon the scope company and the amount you spent on it. The scope’s maker and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Coating for Optics
Water on a lens does not assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing.
Rifle Glass Installing Alternatives
Installing approaches for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also usually come in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly install and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Standard, clamp type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a pair of independent rings to support the scope, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for long distance accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is exceptional for rifles which require a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not move regardless of just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you really want to have for a dedicated optics system on a far away hunting or interdiction long gun that will seldom need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the mount’s screws to stop the hex screws from wiggling out after they are installed firmly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, multiple scopes can also be switched out in the field. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect tightly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while maintaining the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts come in beneficial for shooting platforms which are transported a lot, to take off the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are utilized between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics brand. It typically costs around $250 USD
Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Glass Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is currently occupied by the gas, the glass is less altered by temperature level shifts and pressure variations from the external environment which might possibly permit 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 seek out.
