What You Need to Know About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target by utilizing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to account for different natural considerations like wind and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern rifle optics have about 11 parts which are located inside and externally on the optic. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
Rifle Glass Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Choosing the perfect type of rifle glass depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane glass (FFP) feature the reticle before the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of zoom being used. The outcome 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 exact same tick at 100 yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are practical for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” relationships for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Optics
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 would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture without space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
About Rifle Scope Zoom
The quantity of zoom a scope supplies is figured out by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle scope and optic uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of scope can not adjust given that it is a fixed power optic.
Info on Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification levels. It will list the zoom degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope can be set between 2x and 10x power. This always involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is accomplished using the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power and Ranges
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they could be successfully used. Bear in mind that higher magnification optics and scopes will not be as efficient as lower magnification level scopes because increased magnification can be a bad thing. The very same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have increased power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finishing for Scopes
All top teir rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens coating can be an important element of a shooting platform when looking at high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
ED Versus HD Rifle Glass
Some optic suppliers even use “HD” or high-definition lense coverings which use different procedures, polarizations, components, and chemicals to extract various color ranges and viewable target visibility through the lens. This high-def coating is commonly used with higher density glass which decreases light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to describe “ED” implying 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 can be noticeable over things with hard edges and outlines as light hits the object from particular angles.
Single Rifle Scope Lens Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can also have different finishes used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can establish that a producer is taking several steps to fight different environmental elements like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not always imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends upon the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle glass.
Anti-water Finish for Optics
Water on a lens doesn’t support preserving a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Many top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this kind of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads slide off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Glass Installing Alternatives
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also typically are made in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the scope.
Scope Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is created for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is fine for rifles which need a resilient, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are transferred a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between numerous rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Scope Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle glass can mess up a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and developing residue within the scope tube. A lot of optics protect against humidity from entering the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Typically, these water resistant scopes can be submerged underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample humidity prevention for common use rifles, unless you intend on taking your rifle on boats and are worried about the optic still working if it is submerged in water and you can still find the firearm.
Gas Purged Glass Tubes
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less altered by temperature level alterations and pressure differences from the external environment which might possibly permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
