What You Need to Know About Rifle Optics
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through zoom by utilizing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to account for numerous natural elements like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern-day rifle optics have around eleven parts which are located within and externally on the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of optics.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Finding the finest type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are minor
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their aim point “hold over” plus “lead” ratios for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual eyesight 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.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture without room taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
About Rifle Scope Zoom
The measure of scope zoom you need on your optic depends upon the form of shooting you would like to do. Pretty much every kind of rifle scope gives some level of magnification. The level of magnification a scope gives is established by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This denotes what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not change since it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass Details
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is handled by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Glass Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they can be successfully used. Highly magnified glass will not be as beneficial as lower magnification level optics considering that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
About Lens Coatings
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of finishes. Lens finishing is an important aspect of a rifle when considering high-end rifle optics and scope units. The glass lenses are among the most essential parts of the optic as they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finish on the lenses offers protection to the lens surface and even helps with anti glare from excess daylight and color recognition.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope producers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different techniques, chemicals, polarizations, and elements to draw out various colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Info on Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can also have different coverings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a finishing put on it so that it will be efficiently functional in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Glass Lens Coating
Water on an optic’s lens does not support retaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Lots of top of the line and premium scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It deals with the exterior surfaces of the Steiner optic lens so the water particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Firearms
Installing options for scopes come in a few 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 kinds of mounts also normally come in quick release variations which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly mount and remove the glass.
Rifle Scope Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
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 different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which need a long lasting, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Several scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles.
Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by causing fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less influenced by temp alterations and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which may potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
