Optic Details
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom by using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account various environmental considerations like wind and elevation 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 viewing using the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many contemporary rifle optics have about eleven parts which are arranged within and on the exterior of the scope. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The kind of focal plane a scope has decides where the reticle or crosshair lies in relation to the scopes magnifying adjustments. It actually suggests the reticle is behind or in front of the magnification lens of the optic. Selecting the most suitable sort of rifle scope depends on what type of shooting or hunting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scope Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are small
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their long gun
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same dimensions relative to the amount of magnification being used. The final result is that the reticle dimensions alter based on the zoom applied to shoot over lengthier ranges given that the reticle measurements present distinct increments which fluctuate with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular styles of glass work for:
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture without room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Zoom for Scopes
The amount of magnification a scope offers is determined by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not fluctuate given that it is a fixed power optic.
Info About Variable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification levels. These types of scopes will list the magnification level in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope could be set in between 2x and 10x power. This also incorporates the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is achieved by operating the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Optics
Here are some advised scope powers and the distances where they can be successfully used. Highly magnified rifle scope glass will not be as effective as lower magnification optics since too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same applies to extended distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Scope Lens Coating
All current rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens finish is a crucial aspect of a shooting system when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
ED Versus HD Optics
Some glass manufacturers will also use “HD” or high-def lense finishings which employ different procedures, polarizations, rare earth compounds, and aspects to enhance different colors and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-definition covering is frequently used with more costly, high density lens glass which drops light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious around things with hard edges and outlines as light hits the object from specific angles.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can also have various finishes applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a finish put on it so that it will be efficiently usable in lots of kinds of environments, degrees of light (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope company and how much money you spent paying for it. Both the manufacturer and amount are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking several actions to combat different natural elements like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also doesn’t always mean the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of glass used in building the rifle optic.
Hydrophobic Lens Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with keeping 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 hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering.
Rifle Scope Mounting Alternatives
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly mount and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope mount is wonderful for rifles which need a long lasting, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Info Around Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Info Around Rifle Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less impacted by temperature level changes and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which could potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
