What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by employing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account many ecological aspects like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing via the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of contemporary rifle optics have around eleven parts which are located internally and outside of the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials or turrets, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
Rifle Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The type of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies in regard to the optic’s magnifying adjustments. It literally means the reticle is located behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the scope. Picking the most beneficial form of rifle optic is dependent on what style of shooting you anticipate undertaking.
About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane glass (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same overall size relative to the level of zoom being used. The end result is that the reticle dimensions shift based on the zoom applied to shoot over greater distances given that the reticle measurements present various increments which can vary with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular kinds of scopes are convenient for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture without space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Optic Zoom
The measure of scope zoom you need on your optic is based on the form of shooting you wish to do. Virtually every kind of rifle optic provides some amount of zoom. The quantity of magnification a scope supplies is determined by the diameter, density, and curves of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This suggests what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle scope uses 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 kind of optic can not adjust considering that it is a set power scope.
Info About Variable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will list the magnification level in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope can be adjusted in between 2x and 10x power. This always includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is accomplished by applying the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they can be successfully used. Highly magnified glass will not be as beneficial as lower magnification scopes considering that too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The exact same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
About Rifle Scope Lens Coverings
All state-of-the-art rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens covering is an important element of a rifle system when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some glass manufacturers also use “HD” or high-def lens coverings that employ different procedures, aspects, polarizations, and chemicals to extract different color ranges and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-def finish is normally used with greater density glass which lowers light’s chance to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often visible around items with defined outlines as light hits the object from certain angles.
Info on Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different finishings used to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope maker and just how much you spent on it. The scope’s maker and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets several treatments, it can establish that a company is taking several actions to fight various environmental elements like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not necessarily indicate the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the maker’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of products used in building the rifle optic.
Optic Lens Anti-water Coating
Water on a lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing.
Alternatives for Mounting Glass on Long Guns
Mounting options for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also typically can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly install and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
Basic, clamp type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These styles of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are manufactured for far away accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is good for rifles which require a resilient, unfailing mount which will not shift despite just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should have for a faithful optics system on a far away scouting or tournament rifle that will rarely need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used to prevent the hex screw threads from backing out after they are installed safely in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly take off a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are transferred a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used between multiple rifles.
About Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Info on Rifle Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less altered by temperature alterations and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which could potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
