Scope Info
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to account for various natural things like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing using the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are found within and on the exterior of the scope body. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Going for the best type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on the level of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non amplified distance. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their firearm
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who select a clearer optic picture without area used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Scope Magnification
The amount of magnification a scope supplies is figured out by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests 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 a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified settings. The power change is handled using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope power settings and the ranges where they may be efficiently used. Highly magnified glass will not be as useful as lower powered glass given that too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
Details on Lens Coatings
All top teir rifle optic and scope lenses are covered. Lens finishing can be an important element of a rifle’s setup when considering high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope brands also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different methods, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out separate colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Optic Lens Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various finishes applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This means the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can establish that a producer is taking several actions to fight various natural aspects like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also does not always indicate the multi-coated lens is much better than a single coated lens. Being “better” depends upon the manufacturer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle glass.
Info on Hydrophobic Finish
Water on a lens does not help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating.
Rifle Glass Mounting Choices
Mounting solutions for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also usually are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
Basic, clamp-on type 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 double individual rings to support the scope, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for far away precision shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which require a durable, unfailing mount which will not shift regardless of just how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you really want to have for a faithful scope setup on a far away scouting or competitors rifle that will almost never need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the mount screws to protect against the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are installed safely in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics company. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Scope Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly take off a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are transferred a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can wreck a day on the range and your highly-priced optic by inducing fogging and making residue within the scope tube. The majority of optics protect against wetness from going into the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, 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 ample wetness avoidance for basic use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you anticipate taking your rifle boating and are concerned about the scope still performing if it goes over the side and you can still find the gun.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less altered by temp shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which might potentially allow 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 seek out.
