Rifle Glass Info
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by making use of a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account numerous environmental factors like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are found inside and on the exterior of the scope. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
About Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The form of focal plane an optic has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the scopes magnifying adjustments. It literally suggests the reticle is located behind or before the magnification lens of the optic. Looking for the most effective sort of rifle optic is dependent on what variety of shooting you anticipate doing.
First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their rifles
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Info
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to remain at the same dimensions in relation to the level of magnification being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements adjust based upon the magnification chosen to shoot over longer distances considering that the reticle markings present different increments which change with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These types of glass work for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture with less space used up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Details on Rifle Scope Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope provides is identified by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info on Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope or optic comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not fluctuate given that it is set from the factory.
About Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power modification is performed by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Optics
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they may be efficiently used. Highly magnified scopes will not be as useful as lower magnification level optics because too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same concept applies to extended distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see where to properly aim the rifle.
Rifle Optic Lens Finishing
All present day rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. Lens covering can be a significant element of a rifle system when looking into high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle glass makers will also use “HD” or high-def glass finishes which use different processes, chemicals, components, and polarizations to extract a wide range of color ranges and viewable target visibility through the lens. This HD covering is commonly used with more costly, high density glass which drops light’s chance to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious around things with well defined outlines as light hits the item from particular angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Glass
Different optic lenses can also have various finishes used to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing 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 maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives several treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking numerous actions to fight various natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in building the rifle optic.
Anti-water Coating for Rifle Optics
Water on a scope lens doesn’t help with preserving a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Numerous top of the line or premium optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the surface of the Steiner optic lens so the water particles can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Glass Mounting Alternatives
Installing options for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also usually come in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle operators to quickly install and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use double independent rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is ideal for rifles which require a long lasting, hard use mount which will not change despite just how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should get for a dedicated optics system on a long distance scouting or hard target interdiction long gun which will almost never need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on screws to stop the hex screws from backing out after they are installed tightly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics company. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Scope Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts are convenient for rifles which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and producing residue within the scope’s tube. Most optics prevent humidity from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Normally, these water-resistant optics can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough moisture prevention for common use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle aboard a watercraft and are concerned about the optic still working if it falls overboard and you can still recover the firearm.
Scope Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the buildup of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less impacted by temp alterations and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which might potentially permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
