Information About Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by employing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for different ecological elements like wind speed and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing using the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern-day rifle optics have around 11 parts which are arranged internally and externally on the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
Rifle Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Picking the finest type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the identical tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to stay at the very same overall size in relation to the volume of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements shift based upon the magnification employed to shoot over longer distances considering the markings present different increments which vary with the magnification level. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular kinds of scopes work for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture with less space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Scopes
The level of scope zoom you need depends on the type of shooting you intend to do. Pretty much every type of rifle optic delivers some degree of zoom. The amount of magnification a scope delivers is established by the dimension, thickness, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The zoom of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This suggests what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope or optic uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not fluctuate because it is fixed.
About Variable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power adjustment is accomplished by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range of Rifle Glass
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they may be efficiently used. Bear in mind that higher magnification optics will not be as efficient as lower powered optics and scopes since excessive zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Glass Lens Finishing
All modern rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of lens finishes. Lens finish can be an essential aspect of a rifle when considering luxury rifle optics and scope equipment. The glass lenses are one of the most vital components of the glass given that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finishing on the lenses safeguards the lens exterior and improves anti glare capabilities from excess natural light and color profiles.
HD Versus ED Rifle Scope Lens Coatings
Some scope producers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use various processes, chemicals, polarizations, and components to draw out various colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various scope lenses can even have different finishes applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. 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 numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope company and how much money you spent on it. Both are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope makers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets several treatments, it can show that a company is taking several steps to fight different natural elements like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally does not always imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of components used in constructing the rifle glass.
What to Know About Hydrophobic Coating
Water on a lens does not help with preserving 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 hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating.
Choices for Installing Rifle Glass on Firearms
Installing approaches for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also usually are made in quick release variations which use manual levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Scope Rings
Normal, 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is perfect for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another element of avoiding the buildup of moisture within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less influenced by temperature shifts and pressure distinctions from the external environment which could potentially permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
