What You Need to Know About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnification using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for the consideration of various natural aspects like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up 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 viewing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of contemporary rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are located inside and externally on the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of an optic.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Selecting the optimal type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” as well as “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Details
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of 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.
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Optic Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope supplies 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 Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not fluctuate since it is fixed.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power modification is achieved by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Glass
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the ranges where they could be efficiently used. Remember that higher magnification optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level glass due to the fact that excessive magnification can be a detractor. The same concept relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have enough power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Lens Coverings
All state-of-the-art rifle glass lenses are covered. Lens finish is an important aspect of a shooting system when looking at high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Rifle Glass
Some optic suppliers even use “HD” or high-definition glass finishes which use various processes, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to extract different colors and viewable target visibility through the lens. This high-definition finish is often used with increased density lens glass which drops light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to describe “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious around items with defined outlines as light hits the item from particular angles.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can also have various coatings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shaded), 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 protect the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope maker and how much you spent on it. Both the make and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Coatings
Water on a lens does not help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing.
Choices for Installing Rifle Optics on Long Guns
Mounting solutions for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle operators to quickly install and remove the scope.
Rifle Optic Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a pair of separate rings to support the scope, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for far away precision shooting. This form of scope mount is exceptional for rifles which need to have a durable, rock solid mount which will not move despite just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you want for a devoted scope system on a reach out and touch someone hunting or tournament long gun which will hardly ever need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on screws to stop the hex screw threads from backing out after they are mounted firmly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics company. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Glass Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and take off a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between several rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Scope Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle scope can wreck a day on the range and your highly-priced optic by inducing fogging and creating residue within the scope tube. Many optics protect against humidity from entering the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Normally, 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 more than enough wetness avoidance for conventional use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are concerned about the optic still performing if it goes overboard and you can still find the rifle.
About Rifle Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less altered by temp shifts and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which may 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.
