Glass Facts
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through zoom using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account numerous natural aspects like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many contemporary rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are found inside and on the exterior of the scope. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Selecting the optimal type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are low
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Info
Second focal plane glass (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the exact same overall size relative to the volume of magnification being used. The end result is that the reticle dimensions shift based upon the zoom applied to shoot over lengthier ranges because the reticle measurements represent distinct increments which can vary with the magnification. In the FFP illustration with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture without space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Scopes
The amount of scope zoom you need on your glass is based on the type of shooting you want to do. Nearly every style of rifle optic gives some level of zoom. The volume of zoom a scope provides is identified by the size, thickness, and curves of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope. This means what the shooter is checking out through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not change since it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Glass Details
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is accomplished using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range of Scopes
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they may be effectively used. Always remember that high power optics will not be as practical as lower magnification level glass because too much magnification can be a bad thing. The same idea relates to longer distances where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finishing for Rifle Optics
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of coatings. Lens covering can be a crucial aspect of a rifle when looking at high end rifle optics and scope units. The lenses are among the most key pieces of the glass given that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The coating on the lenses protects the lens surface as well as helps with anti glare from refracted daylight and color exposure.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use various processes, polarizations, chemicals, and components to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Glass
Various scope lenses can also have different coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is because the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a covering applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in lots of types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends upon the scope producer and the amount you spent on it. The scope’s maker and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can show that a company is taking numerous steps to fight various environmental elements like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This additionally does not necessarily indicate the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of components used in constructing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Finishing for Rifle Optics
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering.
Scope Mounting Options
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also normally can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the glass.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use double separate rings to support the scope, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for far away precision shooting. This form of scope mount is exceptional for rifle systems which require a resilient, unfailing mount which will not change no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you want for a faithful optics setup on a far away scouting or competitors firearm that will rarely need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the scope mount screws to stop the hex screws from wiggling out after they are installed tightly in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics company. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Scope Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for rifle platforms which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between multiple rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Scope Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Optic Tubes
Another part of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less altered by temperature alterations and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which might potentially permit 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.
