What You Need to Know About Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through zoom by employing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to account for different environmental elements like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on 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 11 parts which are arranged within and externally on the scope body. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of an optic.
Rifle Glass Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Considering the finest type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scope Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the same dimensions in connection with the volume of zoom being used. The end result is that the reticle dimensions alter based upon the magnification chosen to shoot over longer distances considering that the reticle measurements represent different increments which can vary with the zoom level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP glass, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These styles of optics are handy for:
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Magnification for Optics
The amount of magnification a scope provides is determined by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic and scope uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not adjust since it is a set power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power adjustment is achieved using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Remember that high magnification glass will not be as efficient as lower powered glass since excessive magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Glass Lens Covering
All state-of-the-art rifle glass lenses are covered. Lens finish is an essential element of a rifle system when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some optic producers also use “HD” or high-definition glass finishings which employ different processes, chemicals, aspects, and polarizations to enhance various colors and viewable target visibility through lenses. This high-def finishing is commonly used with more costly high density lens glass which reduces light’s capability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be noticeable over items with defined outlines as light hits the item from various angles.
Info on Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in many types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This means the lens has had numerous treatments applied to them. If a lens gets several treatments, it can indicate that a company is taking numerous steps to combat different environmental aspects like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally does not always suggest the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends upon the maker’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of products used in building the rifle optic.
Rifle Glass Lens Hydrophobic Finish
Water on a lens does not help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing.
Choices for Installing Glass on Firearms
Mounting options for scopes can be found in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also usually come in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly install and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Basic, clamp type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These types of scope mounts use double separate rings to support the optic, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long distance precision shooting. This kind of scope mount is excellent for rifle systems which need a resilient, rock solid mount which will not change regardless of how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you really want to have for a specialized optics system on a long distance hunting or sniper competition rifle that will pretty much never need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally 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 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 connect and take off a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between several rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Scope Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Info on Rifle Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by temp changes and pressure distinctions from the external environment which could potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
