What You Need to Know About Glass
Rifle scopes permit 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 adapted to take into account varied natural factors like wind speed and elevation to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Many contemporary rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are arranged within and on the exterior of the optic. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of an optic.
About Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Selecting the optimal type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scope Info
First focal plane optics (FFP) come with the reticle ahead of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the extent of magnification being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the same tick at 100 yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” relationships for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane glass (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the same size in relation to the level of zoom being used. The end result is that the reticle measurements evolve based on the magnification used to shoot over longer ranges since the reticle markings present various increments which vary with the zoom. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These styles of glass are beneficial for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic sight picture without space taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Zoom for Rifle Optics
The quantity of scope magnification you need on your optic depends on the type of shooting you intend to do. Nearly every type of rifle scope provides some amount of zoom. The level of zoom a scope provides is identified by the diameter, thickness, and curves of the lens glass inside of the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This suggests what the shooter is looking at through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not fluctuate since it is set from the factory.
About Adjustable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power change is accomplished by using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range Correlations
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Highly magnified scopes will not be as beneficial as lower magnification optics considering that too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The exact same concept goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Covering for Rifle Glass
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are various types and qualities of lens coatings. Lens coating is a crucial element of a rifle’s setup when contemplating high end rifle optics and scope systems. The lenses are among the most essential components of the glass since they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The finishing on the lenses protects the lens exterior and improves anti glare capabilities from excess sunshine and color perception.
HD Versus ED Rifle Glass Lens Coatings
Some optic suppliers will also use “HD” or high-def lense finishes that take advantage of various procedures, aspects, polarizations, and chemical applications to draw out numerous colors and viewable definition through lenses. This HD coating is typically used with higher density lens glass which drops light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be obvious around objects with hard edges and shapes as light hits the item from specific angles.
Rifle Glass Lens Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering 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 producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This indicates the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can indicate that a producer is taking several actions to combat various natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally does not necessarily suggest the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” hinges on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of glass used in building the rifle glass.
Anti-water Rifle Optic Lens Covering
Water on a lens does not assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering.
Rifle Optic Mounting Options
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also usually come in quick release variations which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to quickly mount and remove the glass.
Rifle Scope Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use double separate rings to support the scope, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are made for long distance precision shooting. This form of scope mount is excellent for rifle systems which are in need of a resilient, unfailing mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a faithful optics system on a far away hunting or competitors rifle which will pretty much never need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the screws to protect against the hex screw threads from backing out after they are installed firmly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type made by Vortex Optics. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly take off a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a similar style mount, several scopes can also be swapped on the range. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach nicely 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 back on the rifle while retaining precision. These kinds of mounts are useful and beneficial for rifles which are hauled around a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are adopted between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics brand. It typically costs around $250 USD
About Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Rifle Scope Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this space is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less impacted by temp alterations and pressure differences from the outside environment which could potentially allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
