About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by employing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of separate natural aspects like wind speed and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many modern rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are arranged within and on the exterior of the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
About Scope Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Picking the finest type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non magnified range. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are small
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture without area taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Rifle Optic Magnification
The amount of zoom a scope supplies is determined by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not change since it is fixed.
Variable Power Lens Glass Details
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power modification is handled using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range of Scopes
Here are some recommended scope powers and the distances where they can be successfully used. Keep in mind that higher magnification optics will not be as effective as lower powered optics since excessive zoom can be a detractor. The same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Rifle Optic Lens Finish
All modern rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of finishings. Lens covering can be an important element of a rifle when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope systems. The lenses are one of the most significant components of the optic since they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The covering on the lenses protects the lens surface and assists with anti glare from excess sunrays and color discernibility.
ED Versus HD Optics
Some optic manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lense finishes that make the most of various procedures, components, compounds, and polarizations to extract separate color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This HD finish is typically used with greater density glass which reduces light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious over things with hard outlines as light hits the object from particular angles.
About Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have various coatings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or coating used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. This suggests the lens has several treatments applied to them. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can indicate that a producer is taking several actions to fight different environmental factors like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally doesn’t necessarily indicate the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “better” depends upon the producer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of materials used in creating the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Finishing
Water on a lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering.
Rifle Scope Installation Options
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to quickly install and dismount the optics.
Optic Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is wonderful for rifles which require a resilient, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and remove a scope from a rifle. If they all use a comparable design mount, several scopes can often be swapped out. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach solidly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while keeping accuracy. These kinds of mounts come in convenient for rifles which are carried a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are adopted between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It normally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Glass Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Optic Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less affected by temperature level shifts and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which may potentially enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
