Glass Facts
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to take into account numerous environmental factors 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 hit based on the sight picture you are viewing via the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are located internally and externally on the scope. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of a scope.
About Rifle Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The sort of focal plane a scope has decides where the reticle or crosshair is located in relation to the scopes magnification. It literally means the reticle is situated behind or before the magnifying lens of the scope. Picking out the very best type of rifle glass is dependent on what sort of shooting or hunting you plan on undertaking.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane glass (FFP) feature the reticle before the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the extent of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” correlations for their firearms
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Facts
Second focal plane glass (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the very same overall size relative to the amount of zoom being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements shift based upon the zoom applied to shoot over greater distances since the reticle measurements present distinct increments which can vary with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These particular types of optics work for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who select a clearer optic picture without room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Scopes
The amount of magnification a scope supplies is identified by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Optic Info
A single power rifle scope or optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not adjust because it is a set power scope.
About Variable Power Lens Rifle Optics
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power change is accomplished by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some advised scope power levels and the distances where they could be effectively used. High power rifle scope glass will not be as effective as lower magnification level rifle scope glass due to the fact that too much magnification can be a bad thing. The very same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
About Lens Finishes
All current rifle optic and scope lenses are covered. Lens finish can be a significant element of a shooting system when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
Details on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope makers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use different techniques, polarizations, components, and chemicals to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Optic Lens Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have different coatings used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can safeguard 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 covered lens depends on the scope maker 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 numerous treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can indicate that a manufacturer is taking multiple steps to fight different environmental elements like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also doesn’t always indicate the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single covered lens. Being “better” hinges on the producer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle glass.
Scope Lens Anti-water Covering
Water on a scope lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Many top of the line or high-end optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the surface of the Steiner optic lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting options for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also usually come in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Scope Rings
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which require a resilient, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Ring Mounts
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and detach a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect nicely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while maintaining accuracy. These kinds of mounts are useful and convenient for shooting platforms which are carried a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are adopted between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can wreck a day of shooting and your expensive optic by inducing fogging and generating residue inside of the scope’s tube. Most optics protect against moisture from going into the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Typically, these water-resistant scopes can be immersed underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of wetness prevention for basic use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle aboard a watercraft and are concerned about the scope still performing if it falls overboard and you can still retrieve the firearm.
What to Know About Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less influenced by climate alterations and pressure differences from the external environment which could potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
