About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for the consideration of many natural things like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing using the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern-day rifle optics have about 11 parts which are arranged within and externally on the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials or turrets, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
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 lies in connection with the scopes magnification. It actually means the reticle is situated behind or before the magnifying lens of the optic. Choosing the best type of rifle scope is dependent on what type of shooting you intend on undertaking.
First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane optics (FFP) feature the reticle before the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non magnified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at 100 yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are practical for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and also “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of 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 measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots happen within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture with less space used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Magnification for Optics
The quantity of magnification a scope offers is figured out by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle scope or optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not change since it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Scope Info
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification levels. It will list the zoom level in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope can be changed 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 back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Rifle Optic Power and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the ranges where they may be successfully used. High power glass will not be as beneficial as lower powered rifle scope glass given that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The very same idea relates to longer distances where the shooter needs increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finishing for Glass
All cutting-edge rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens covering can be an essential aspect of a shooting platform when looking into high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
ED Versus HD Glass
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use various procedures, chemicals, aspects, and polarizations to draw out separate colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Info on Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have various coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or finishing 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 becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It needs to have a finish put on it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends upon the scope manufacturer and just how much you spent on it. The scope’s maker and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope makers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Anti-water Covering for Rifle Glass
Water on an optical lens does not assist with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Many top of the line and premium optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior surfaces of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Glass Mounting Choices
Installing approaches 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 various kinds of mounts also usually are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly install and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These types of scope mounts use two detached rings to support the optic, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for far away precision shooting. This kind of scope mount is exceptional for rifle systems which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not move despite how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should have for a dedicated scope setup on a reach out and touch someone scouting or hard target interdiction rifle which will pretty much never need to be modified or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the mount screws to keep the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted firmly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type from the Vortex Optics brand. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a similar design mount, several scopes can also be switched out. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect securely to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while maintaining accuracy. These kinds of mounts are useful and practical for rifles which are moved around a lot, to remove the glass from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are used between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your highly-priced optic by triggering fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes protect against moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these water-resistant optics can be submerged beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample humidity prevention for basic use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you anticipate taking your rifle on boats and are concerned about the scope still working if it falls overboard and you can still recover the rifle.
Details on Rifle Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less impacted by temperature level alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which could possibly enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
