What You Need to Know About Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for the consideration of various natural considerations like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of contemporary rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are found within and externally on the optic. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
About Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The form of focal plane an optic has decides where the reticle or crosshair lies relative to the scopes zoom. It simply indicates the reticle is situated behind or before the magnifying lens of the scope. Considering the very best type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you anticipate doing.
Info About First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle ahead of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified distance. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at 100 yards using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are practical for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” and “lead” relationships for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Facts
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture without space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Zoom for Rifle Scopes
The amount of zoom a scope offers is determined 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.
Fixed Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle scope and optic will have a magnification 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 type of scope can not adjust since it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the zoom amount in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the zoom of the scope can be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This always includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is accomplished by applying the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range of Optics
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they may be successfully used. Remember that high magnification scopes will not be as practical as lower powered scopes since increased magnification can be a bad thing. The same goes for longer distances where the shooter needs adequate power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Lens Coating for Optics
All cutting-edge rifle scope lenses are covered. Lens coating is an essential element of a shooting platform when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some glass makers will also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which take advantage of different processes, aspects, polarizations, and chemical applications to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. This high-def finishing is frequently used with more costly, high density glass which drops light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable around items with hard shapes as light hits the item from particular angles.
Rifle Glass Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have different finishes used to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish 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 minimizing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Covering
Water on an optic’s lens doesn’t improve maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Lots of top of the line or premium optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It deals with the surface area of the Steiner scope lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Installing Rifle Optics on Long Guns
Mounting solutions for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope 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 scope.
Hex Key Scope Ring Mounts
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 different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is created for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope install is excellent for rifles which need a resilient, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly remove a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for long guns which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another element of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by temperature level alterations and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which may possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
