What You Need to Know About Scopes
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification by using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to account for different ecological aspects like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing using the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most contemporary rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are found inside and outside of the optic. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of a scope.
Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The style of focal plane an optic has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the scopes zoom. It simply means the reticle is located behind or in front of the magnification lens of the scope. Deciding upon the most desired style of rifle optic is based on what form of shooting or hunting you anticipate doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are small
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture without room taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Optics
The amount of scope magnification you require is based on the type of shooting you plan to do. Almost every style of rifle glass gives some level of magnification. The quantity of magnification a scope gives is established by the diameter, thickness, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This indicates what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Glass Details
A single power rifle optic and scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of scope can not adjust given that it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the magnification level in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope could be adjusted in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is accomplished by employing the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Rifle Scope Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they can be effectively used. Remember that higher magnification scopes will not be as practical as lower magnification level optics since excessive zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea goes for longer distances where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Glass Lens Covering
All state-of-the-art rifle glass lenses are covered. Lens finish is a crucial element of a rifle’s setup when considering high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Rifle Scope Lens Coatings
Some scope manufacturers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use various processes, aspects, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Glass
Various optic lenses can even have different finishings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. Because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally usable in many types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Info on Anti-water Coating
Water on an optic’s lens does not improve retaining a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Many top of the line and premium optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It deals with the exterior of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Installing Glass on Long Guns
Installing solutions for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also generally come in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly mount and remove the scopes.
Glass Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These forms of scope mounts use double separate rings to support the scope, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are made for long distance accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is good for rifle systems which are in need of a durable, rock solid mount which will not change regardless of how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you want for a specialized scope setup on a long distance scouting or tournament firearm that will rarely need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the mount screws to protect against the hex screw threads from backing out after they are installed safely in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics brand. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach firmly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping accuracy. These types of mounts come in handy for shooting platforms which are transported a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are used between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics brand. It usually costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Scope Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Glass Tubes
Another component of preventing the buildup of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less altered by temp changes and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which might potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
