All About Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target by utilizing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to account for many ecological aspects like wind speed and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. A lot of modern rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are located internally and on the exterior of the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
Rifle Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The form of focal plane an optic has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located in relation to the scopes zoom. It actually suggests the reticle is situated behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the optic. Selecting the best sort of rifle glass is based upon what sort of hunting or shooting you anticipate doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Details
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who select a clearer optic picture with less space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Glass
The amount of zoom a scope offers is identified by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Glass Facts
A single power rifle optic and scope uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not fluctuate since it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is handled by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range of Rifle Scopes
Here are some advised scope power levels and the ranges where they could be successfully used. Highly magnified glass will not be as efficient as lower powered optics considering too much zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same concept relates to extended ranges where the shooter needs adequate power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Rifle Optic Lens Finishing
All modern-day rifle scope and optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of glass coatings. Lens covering is an important element of a rifle when looking into high end rifle optics and targeting systems. The lenses are among the most important pieces of the glass as they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finish on the lenses safeguards the lens surface area and also assists with anti glare capabilities from refracted daylight and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope producers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use different techniques, chemicals, components, and polarizations to draw out different colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating for Optics
Different optic lenses can also have different coverings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It must have a coating put on it so that the lens will be optimally functional in numerous kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less beneficial 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 specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Anti-water Coating for Rifle Glass
Water on an optic’s lens does not assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope whatsoever. Many top of the line and premium optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It treats 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 sheet off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Glass Mounting Alternatives
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also usually are made in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Glass Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These styles of scope mounts use two independent rings to support the scope, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for far away accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not shift despite just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should have for a faithful scope setup on a far away scouting or competition rifle which will hardly ever need to be modified or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the screws to stop the hex screws from backing out after they are installed securely in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from the Vortex Optics brand. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are transferred a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles.
About Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle glass can ruin a day on the range and your expensive optic by causing fogging and making residue inside of the scope tube. Many optics protect against moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these water-resistant optics can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample moisture prevention for basic use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle sailing and are worried about the optic still working if it goes over the side and you can still salvage the firearm.
Scope Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less impacted by temp alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which may possibly permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
