Facts About Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom by using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to take into account separate environmental considerations like wind speed and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many modern rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are located inside and externally on the optic. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
Rifle Scope Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Opting for the best type of rifle optic is based around 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 causes the reticle to increase in size based on the extent of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non magnified range. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without having “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their firearm
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to stay at the same dimensions in relation to the volume of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements change based on the zoom chosen to shoot over greater ranges because the reticle markings present different increments which can vary with the zoom. In the FFP illustration with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These particular varieties of glass are useful for:
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Glass Zoom
The extent of scope magnification you need on your glass depends upon the style of shooting you want to do. Almost every style of rifle optic delivers some degree of zoom. The level of magnification a scope supplies is established by the size, density, and curves of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This suggests what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Scope Facts
A single power rifle scope and optic will have 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 zoom of this type of scope can not fluctuate since it is fixed.
Info on Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification levels. It will list the magnification level in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope can be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This always incorporates the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is achieved by operating the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Power Levels and Range Correlations
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they can be efficiently used. High power rifle scope glass will not be as effective as lower magnification level scopes considering too much zoom can be a bad thing. The very same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Details on Lens Finishing
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of lens finishes. Lens finishing can be a crucial aspect of a rifle’s setup when considering high-end rifle optics and targeting systems. The glass lenses are among the most vital pieces of the scope since they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses offers protection to the lens surface as well as helps with anti glare from refracted sunshine and color discernibility.
HD Versus ED Rifle Optic Lens Coatings
Some scope makers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different processes, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating for Glass
Various optic lenses can also have various coverings used to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less beneficial 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 also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has numerous treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives several treatments, it can indicate that a company is taking numerous actions to fight various environmental factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single coated lens. Being “better” hinges on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle optic.
Glass Lens Hydrophobic Coating
Water on an optic’s lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Lots of top of the line and high-end scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior surfaces of the Steiner scope lens so the water particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Scope Installing Choices
Mounting solutions for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also normally come in quick release variations which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly install and dismount the scope.
Rifle Scope Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp-on design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These forms of scope mounts use double individual rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for long distance precision shooting. This form of scope mount is great for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not move regardless of just how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should get for a specialized scope system on a long distance hunting or tournament firearm which will almost never need to be modified or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the mount’s screws to prevent the hex screws from backing out after they are installed tightly in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm type made by Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between numerous rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes avoid wetness from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Scope Tubes
Another element of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less impacted by condition alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which could potentially permit water vapor to permeate 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.
