Glass Facts
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnification by making use of a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to take into account separate environmental considerations like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are located inside and on the exterior of the optic. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Picking the perfect type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle before the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification 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 with no “zoom” is still the identical tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and “lead” equations for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Info
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the same dimensions in relation to the amount of magnification being used. The final result is that the reticle dimensions evolve based upon the magnification used to shoot over longer distances since the reticle measurements represent various increments which fluctuate with the magnification level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These varieties of optics are convenient for:
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture with less space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Zoom for Optics
The extent of scope zoom you require is based on the form of shooting you wish to do. Just about every type of rifle optic supplies some degree of zoom. The amount of magnification a scope delivers is identified by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope. This denotes what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle scope or optic uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not fluctuate given that it is fixed.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the zoom amount in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the zoom of the scope could be set between 2x and 10x power. This always involves the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is accomplished by working with the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power and Range of Scopes
Here are some advised scope power levels and the distances where they can be successfully used. Highly magnified optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification level optics given that too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same goes for longer distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Info on Rifle Optic Lens Finishing
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are coated. Lens covering can be an important element of a shooting system when buying high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Rifle Optic Lens Coatings
Some scope manufacturers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use different procedures, chemicals, polarizations, and aspects to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Rifle Scope Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different finishes used to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This means the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can indicate that a maker is taking several actions to fight various environmental elements like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also doesn’t always mean the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” hinges on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of components used in building the rifle optic.
Details on Anti-water Finishing
Water on a lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic anti-water covering.
Options for Mounting Scopes on Firearms
Installing options for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also normally come in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the glass.
Rifle Optic Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope installation 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 created for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is perfect for rifles which need a durable, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Ring Mounts
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect securely to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving precision. These types of mounts come in beneficial for shooting platforms which are moved a lot, to remove the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are adopted between several rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics brand. It normally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Optic Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle glass can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by resulting in fogging and generating residue inside of the scope’s tube. Many scopes protect against wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these optics can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough wetness avoidance for conventional use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are worried about the scope still performing if it is submerged in water and you can still recover the rifle.
About Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less affected by condition shifts and pressure variations from the outside environment which could possibly permit 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 look for.
