Glass Information
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnification by utilizing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for different environmental things like wind speed and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. A lot of contemporary rifle optics have around eleven parts which are found inside and externally on the optic. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Finding the finest type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Optic Details
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 amount of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified range as they are at the non magnified range. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the very same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” and “lead” relationships for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Zoom for Rifle Scopes
The extent of scope zoom you need on your scope depends on the style of shooting you plan to do. Nearly every kind of rifle glass offers some degree of zoom. The level of magnification a scope gives is determined by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This indicates what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is magnified times the power element of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Rifle Glass Facts
A single power rifle optic and scope comes with 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 zoom of this kind of optic can not fluctuate since it is a fixed power scope.
Info on Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification levels. These types of scopes will list the zoom level in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope can be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is accomplished by employing the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they could be effectively used. Consider that high magnification optics will not be as practical as lower magnification level optics since excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
About Rifle Glass Lens Coverings
All modern-day rifle glass lenses are covered. Lens coating can be an important element of a rifle system when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some optic manufacturers also use “HD” or high-def glass finishes that apply different processes, polarizations, elements, and chemicals to draw out numerous colors and viewable target visibility through the lens. This HD finish is frequently used with greater density glass which reduces light’s ability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious over things with well defined outlines as light hits the item from various angles.
Single Rifle Scope Lens Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope producer and the amount you spent for it. Both are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can indicate that a company is taking several steps to fight various natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not necessarily suggest the multi-coated lens is much better than a single covered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the maker’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle optic.
Info on Hydrophobic Coating
Water on a scope lens does not support keeping a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Many top of the line and high-end scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior surfaces of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Scope Installation Choices
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the scope 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 permit rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the scope.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Rings
Standard, clamp-on design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use double detached rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for far away precision shooting. This type of scope mount is good for rifles which are in need of a durable, unfailing mount which will not shift regardless of just how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you want for a dedicated scope setup on a far away scouting or competition rifle which will rarely need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the scope mount screws to keep the hex screw threads from backing out after they are mounted firmly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics brand. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar style mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten firmly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping precision. These types of mounts come in handy for shooting platforms which are moved a lot, to remove the glass from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used between multiple rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics brand. It usually costs around $250 USD
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can wreck a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and generating residue within the scope’s tube. Many optics protect against humidity from entering the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Normally, these water resistant scopes can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample moisture avoidance for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are concerned about the scope still working if it is submerged in water and you can still rescue the rifle.
Rifle Optic Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less affected by temperature level alterations and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which may possibly permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
