What You Need to Know About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnification by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to account for varied natural things like wind and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many modern-day rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are found within and outside of the scope. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets, focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The kind of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair lies relative to the scopes magnifying adjustments. It actually means the reticle is located behind or ahead of the magnification lens of the optic. Deciding upon the very best kind of rifle glass is dependent on what type of shooting you intend on undertaking.
About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Facts
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture without area used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Rifle Scope Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope supplies is figured out by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic and scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not change given that it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the magnification degree in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers imply the zoom of the scope can be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This also incorporates the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is accomplished by operating the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range of Rifle Optics
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the ranges where they could be effectively used. Highly magnified rifle scope glass will not be as beneficial as lower magnification level glass considering that too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same relates to extended ranges where the shooter needs to have increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Rifle Optic Lens Coating
All present day rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens finishing can be a crucial aspect of a shooting platform when looking into high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Scope Lens Coatings
Some scope producers will also use “HD” or high-def glass coverings which apply different procedures, rare earth compounds, polarizations, and elements to draw out a wide range of color ranges and viewable target visibility through the lens. This high-def covering is commonly used with more costly high density glass which reduces light’s chance to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to describe “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable around things with defined outlines as light hits the item from various angles.
Single Scope Lens Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various scope lenses can also have different finishes applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a finishing applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard 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 on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has had numerous treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking multiple steps to fight different environmental elements like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally does not necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Finishing for Rifle Optics
Water on a lens doesn’t improve maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this kind 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 preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Scopes on Long Guns
Installing approaches for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also usually can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scope.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Rings
Normal, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style 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 are developed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which need a resilient, sound 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 rapidly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. If they all use a comparable style mount, several scopes can also be switched in the field. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach nicely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving precision. These kinds of mounts come in practical for shooting platforms which are transported a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are utilized between multiple rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics brand. It typically costs around $250 USD
What to Know About Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by causing fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes avoid moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Glass Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less affected by condition shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which could possibly enable 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.
