Rifle Optic Details
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through zoom by using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to take into account different natural considerations like wind speed and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are located internally and on the exterior of the optic. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of an optic.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Picking the perfect type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Optic Info
First focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle before the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on the level of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Facts
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same size relative to the volume of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle dimensions adapt based on the magnification used to shoot over greater ranges considering the markings present different increments which vary with the zoom. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These particular styles of scopes are handy for:
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture without area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Optic Zoom
The level of scope magnification you require depends upon the kind of shooting you desire to do. Almost every style of rifle scope delivers some level of zoom. The quantity of magnification a scope gives is determined by the dimension, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This indicates what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Optic Details
A single power rifle scope and optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not adjust since it is a fixed power optic.
About Variable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power modification is handled by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Glass
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they can be effectively used. Always remember that high power optics and scopes will not be as practical as lower powered scope and optics because increased zoom can be a bad thing. The same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Rifle Scope Lens Finishing
All state-of-the-art rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens covering is a crucial element of a rifle’s setup when considering high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some rifle scope suppliers will also use “HD” or high-def lense coatings which apply different processes, polarizations, elements, and chemicals to draw out numerous color ranges and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-definition finishing is frequently used with more costly high density glass which reduces light’s capability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious around items with hard shapes as light hits the object from specific angles.
What to Know About Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various finishes applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope manufacturer and the amount you paid for it. The scope’s maker and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t help with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating.
Alternatives for Installing Rifle Optics on Long Guns
Installing options for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also normally can be found in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly install and remove the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is fine for rifles which need a long lasting, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Rings
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. Numerous scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles.
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can wreck a day of shooting and your expensive optic by resulting in fogging and making residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Typically, these water-resistant scopes can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample moisture content prevention for common use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle on boats and are worried about the scope still functioning if it goes over the side and you can still salvage the rifle.
Optic Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is already occupied by the gas, the glass is less impacted by temp shifts and pressure distinctions from the external environment which might potentially 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.
