Applying An Illuminated Scope in The Right Situation

Traditionally, you would sight your target with crosshairs. We now use more sophisticated versions of this method. As opposed to crosshairs, Bushnell in Canada is described using a reticle, first (or front) focal plane, second (or rear) focal plane, and illuminated reticle. This article will attempt to distill all of this information so that you can make an informed decision about purchasing and using illuminated Bushnell.

You must first understand a non-illuminated reticle to understand an illuminated reticle.

The reticle is the targeting aid that you see overlaid over the image when looking through a shop Bushnell in Canada riflescope. Like many of us, you may have grown up hearing the term "crosshairs" rather than "reticle," and you may have discovered two wires, hairs, or threads embedded in the scope if you disassembled one.

Because the reticle is no longer formed from hairs, the term "crosshairs" has fallen out of favor. Rather, a small mirror in the scope is used to project the reticle into the optical pathway.

The terms "first focal plane" and "second focal plane" describe the location of the reticle. The scope has an ocular lens at the front or back end aimed at the target. Light is focused at the first focal plane passing through the ocular lens. Light passes through a series of Bushnell, magnifying the image carried by that light. The magnified image is focused at the second focal plane and visible through the ocular lens at the end, pointing toward your eye.

The reticle's location determines whether it is fixed or magnified.

The reticle is in front of the magnification assembly when projected at the first focal plane (also called the erector or zoom assembly). This implies that the reticle is a part of the image magnified by the magnifying Bushnell in Canada. As a result, as the image is magnified, so is the reticle.

When the reticle is projected at the second focal plane, it is in front of the magnification assembly. This means the image is magnified before reaching the reticle. As a result, regardless of how much the image is magnified, the reticle will always be the same size.

Conclusion

To improve contrast with a target, use an illuminated Bushnell in Canada. The target image is not improved or altered by using an illuminated scope. On the other hand, an illuminated scope only changes the reticle’s brightness. This is useful in low-light situations and when the target's color or lighting makes the reticle difficult to see. Thus, the key point to remember when using your scope's illumination feature is that it creates a contrast between the reticle and the target, allowing you to position the reticle where you want it on your target.
