What You Need to Know About Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through zoom using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for the consideration of various environmental aspects like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many modern rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are located internally and externally on the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials, focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding upon the optimal type of rifle optic is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane glass (FFP) come with the reticle ahead of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non amplified distance. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without having “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are practical for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their firearm
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Details
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the exact same scale relative to the level of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle measurements adapt based upon the magnification chosen to shoot over lengthier ranges given that the reticle markings represent various increments which differ with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These sorts of scopes work for:
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots happen within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture without area used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Zoom for Scopes
The quantity of magnification a scope supplies is determined by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope and optic comes with 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 type of optic can not fluctuate since it is a fixed power scope.
Info About Adjustable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power change is handled by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they may be successfully used. High power scopes will not be as efficient as lower powered rifle scope glass considering that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs to have increased power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finish for Rifle Glass
All cutting-edge rifle scope lenses are coated. Lens coating can be an essential element of a rifle system when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope systems.
ED Versus HD Rifle Glass
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use various processes, components, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out different colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
About Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various coatings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
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 covered lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has had several treatments applied to them. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can prove that a maker is taking numerous steps to combat different environmental factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also does not necessarily mean the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of glass used in building the rifle optic.
Anti-water Scope Lens Finish
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t improve maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Numerous top of the line or premium scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this kind of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior surfaces of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Glass Installing Alternatives
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally come in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the optics.
Optic Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp-on design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use double detached rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are made for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is good for rifles which need a long lasting, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a specialized scope system on a long distance scouting or tournament long gun that will pretty much never need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the mount’s screws to stop the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted firmly in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type from the Vortex Optics company. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and take off a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect firmly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while maintaining precision. These types of mounts come in handy for shooting platforms which are transferred a lot, to take off the scope from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are utilized in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
What to Know About Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Info Around Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less impacted by temperature shifts and pressure variations from the external 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.
