Info Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target by utilizing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for consideration of numerous environmental factors like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of contemporary rifle optics have about 11 parts which are located within and outside of the optic. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
About Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Finding the perfect type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane glass (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the same dimensions in connection with the level of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements adapt based upon the magnification used to shoot over longer ranges since the reticle markings represent distinct increments which fluctuate with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These kinds of glass work for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture with less room used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Rifle Scope Zoom
The quantity of zoom a scope offers is figured out 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 Power Lens Rifle Glass Details
A single power rifle optic uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom 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.
Variable Power Lens Glass Info
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will note the magnification amount in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the zoom of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This also utilizes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is accomplished by applying the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Glass Power and Ranges
Here are some suggested scope powers and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. Always remember that higher magnification optics and scopes will not be as efficient as lower powered scopes since excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have increased power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Optic Lens Finishing
All top teir rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens finish is a vital aspect of a shooting system when buying high end rifle optics and scope setups.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some scope producers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use various procedures, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
Rifle Scope Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various finishings used to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much money you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has had numerous treatments applied to them. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking several actions to combat different natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also doesn’t always suggest the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” hinges on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of components used in creating the rifle scope.
Info on Anti-water Finish
Water on a scope lens doesn’t support preserving a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Numerous top of the line and high-end scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It deals with the surface of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads slide off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Mounting Optics on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also usually are made in quick release versions which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly mount and dismount the glass.
Rifle Optic Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp-on design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are made for long distance accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is effective for rifle systems which are in need of a resilient, hard use mount which will not change no matter how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should have for a specialized scope system on a long distance scouting or interdiction long gun which will rarely need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the scope mount’s screws to protect against the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted tightly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten firmly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while retaining accuracy. These types of mounts come in convenient for rifles which are carried a lot, to remove the glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are employed in between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
What to Know About Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and generating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes protect against moisture from entering the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Usually, these optics can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough humidity avoidance for conventional use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you anticipate taking your rifle aboard a watercraft and are worried about the scope still performing if it goes over the side and you can still find the rifle.
Gas Purged Rifle Optic Tubes
Another part of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less affected by temp changes and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which might potentially enable water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
