What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnification by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for consideration of varied natural factors like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing via the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are located within and externally on the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding on the finest type of rifle glass is based on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the extent of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified range as they are at the non amplified range. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at 100 yards using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Facts
Second focal plane glass (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the exact same size relative to the volume of zoom being used. The final result is that the reticle dimensions adjust based upon the zoom chosen to shoot over lengthier distances given that the reticle measurements present distinct increments which fluctuate with the zoom. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These types of optics work for:
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture with less space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Rifle Scope Magnification
The level of scope zoom you require is based on the style of shooting you wish to do. Pretty much every style of rifle glass delivers some degree of magnification. The volume of zoom a scope gives is established by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle optic. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope. This means what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power aspect of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Glass Info
A single power rifle scope and optic will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not adjust since it is a fixed power optic.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass Details
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power change is achieved by the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range Correlation of Rifle Optics
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the distances where they can be successfully used. Keep in mind that high power glass will not be as efficient as lower powered optics due to the fact that excessive magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same concept applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Lens Finish
All cutting-edge rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens finishing can be a vital element of a rifle system when looking at high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Scope Lens Coatings
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use various methods, chemicals, polarizations, and elements 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.
Single Rifle Glass Lens Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various scope lenses can even have different finishes applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a finish put on it so that the lens will be optimally usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less helpful 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 how much you spent on it. Both the make and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Coatings
Water on a scope lens does not support retaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line or high-end optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It deals with the exterior surfaces of the Steiner scope lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads slide off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Glass on Long Guns
Installing options for scopes come in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also normally come in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly mount and remove the glass.
Glass Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is excellent for rifles which require a long lasting, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach tightly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while retaining precision. These types of mounts are useful and convenient for rifles which are transferred a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are utilized in between multiple rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It typically costs around $250 USD
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Optic Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less altered by temperature changes and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could possibly allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
