Info About Optics
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnifying the target using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of different natural factors like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing via the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are arranged inside and outside of the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of an optic.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The form of focal plane an optic has determines where the reticle or crosshair lies in relation to the optic’s magnifying adjustments. It actually suggests the reticle is situated behind or ahead of the magnifying lens of the optic. Deciding upon the best form of rifle optic depends upon what variety of shooting you anticipate doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are minor
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the same scale in relation to the level of magnification being used. The effect is that the reticle dimensions evolve based on the magnification used to shoot over greater distances given that the reticle measurements present distinct increments which can vary with the magnification. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These types of scopes are convenient for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less room used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Scope Zoom
The amount of scope magnification you need on your glass depends on the style of shooting you would like to do. Pretty much every type of rifle glass offers some level of zoom. The level of magnification a scope gives is identified by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This suggests what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic uses 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 magnification of this kind of optic can not adjust considering that it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification power levels. It will list the zoom level in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope can be adjusted in between 2x and 10x power. This also utilizes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is accomplished by working with the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power and Range of Rifle Scopes
Here are some advised scope power levels and the ranges where they can be effectively used. Keep in mind that higher power scopes will not be as practical as lower powered scopes due to the fact that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea relates to extended ranges where the shooter needs adequate power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
Rifle Glass Lens Finish
All top teir rifle glass lenses are coated. Lens finishing is a significant aspect of a rifle when buying high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Rifle Scope Lens Coatings
Some scope producers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use different methods, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
What to Know About Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have different finishes applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a finish put on it so that it will be efficiently functional in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope producer and how much you spent on it. Both are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope makers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This means the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can indicate that a manufacturer is taking multiple actions to fight different environmental elements like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also does not necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” depends upon the manufacturer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of glass used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Scope Lens Coating
Water on a scope lens does not support preserving a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Many top of the line or high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It treats the surface of the Steiner glass lens so the water particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Optic Installation Options
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also usually come in quick release variations which use toss levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
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 often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which require a resilient, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and take off a scope from a rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a complementary style mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach tightly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while maintaining precision. These types of mounts are useful and handy for rifles which are transferred between vehicles a lot, to take off the optic from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are employed in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Details on Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
About Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by temp shifts and pressure variations from the external environment which might potentially permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
