Rifle Optic Info
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for the consideration of separate environmental things like wind and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many contemporary rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are found internally and on the exterior of the scope body. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Considering the optimal type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Optic Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are low
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the very same size in connection with the quantity of magnification being used. The end result is that the reticle measurements adapt based on the zoom used to shoot over longer distances considering the reticle markings present distinct increments which vary with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These particular types of glass work for:
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic picture without room used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Zoom for Rifle Glass
The amount of zoom a scope provides is identified by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Scope Details
A single power rifle optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not fluctuate since it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Glass Info
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power adjustment is achieved by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range Correlations
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they may be efficiently used. Keep in mind that higher power optics and scopes will not be as efficient as lower magnification level scope and optics since too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same idea applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs adequate power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Lens Coverings
All cutting-edge rifle scope and optic lenses are covered. Lens covering can be an essential aspect of a shooting system when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different techniques, polarizations, chemicals, and aspects to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various finishes applied to them. All lenses typically 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 generally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and the amount you spent for it. Both are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Rifle Optic Lens Covering
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and high-end optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing which is water repellent.
Choices for Installing Optics on Long Guns
Mounting solutions for scopes are available in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also usually come in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Ring Mounts
Basic, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use two detached rings to support the scope, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are made for far away accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is ideal for rifle systems which need a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not move despite just how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should get for a devoted scope system on a reach out and touch someone scouting or sniper competition rifle that will hardly ever need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used to keep the hex screws from backing out after they are installed safely in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm style from Vortex Optics. 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 remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a complementary style mount. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten nicely to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while maintaining accuracy. These kinds of mounts are useful and convenient for shooting platforms which are moved a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are utilized between numerous rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Rifle Glass Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less impacted by climate alterations and pressure differences from the external environment which could possibly allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
