Information About Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnifying the target using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to account for separate environmental considerations like wind and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand precisely 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 point of impact. Most modern-day rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are located inside and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of scopes.
About Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The sort of focal plane a scope has establishes where the reticle or crosshair is located relative to the optic’s magnification. It simply means the reticle is situated behind or before the magnifying lens of the optic. Deciding upon the best sort of rifle glass is dependent on what form of hunting or shooting you anticipate doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based on the level of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non magnified distance. As an example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their aim point “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane optics (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture with less space taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Details on Optic Zoom
The quantity of magnification a scope offers is identified 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.
About Fixed Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope or optic uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not adjust since it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power modification is achieved by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some suggested scope powers and the distances where they can be efficiently used. High power scopes will not be as effective as lower powered optics since too much magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same concept goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have enough power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Info on Rifle Glass Lens Finishes
All modern rifle optic lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of glass finishings. Lens finishing is a crucial aspect of a rifle’s setup when thinking of high end rifle optics and targeting units. The lenses are one of the most crucial pieces of the glass given that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finishing on the lenses offers protection to the lens exterior and even helps with anti glare from refracted daylight and color visibility.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope manufacturers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishes which use various processes, aspects, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out different colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass.
What to Know About Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have various finishings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally usable in many kinds of environments, degrees of light (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope designer and how much you spent paying for it. Both are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered 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 company is taking multiple actions to fight different natural elements like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also doesn’t necessarily indicate the multi-coated lens is better than a single layered lens. Being “better” depends upon the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of glass used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Finishing
Water on an optic’s lens does not support preserving a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Lots of top of the line or high-end scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It deals with the surface area of the Steiner optic lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Optic Installation Options
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally are made in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the scope.
Rifle Scope Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a pair of independent rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for long distance precision shooting. This kind of scope mount is exceptional for rifle systems which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not move despite how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you want for a dedicated scope system on a far away hunting or hard target interdiction long gun which will seldom need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used to keep the hex screw threads from backing out after they are installed securely in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounts
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and take off a scope from a rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach tightly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping accuracy. These types of mounts are useful and practical for shooting platforms which are moved a lot, to take off the scope from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are utilized between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
Details on Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your pricey optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Glass Tubes
Another part of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by temperature alterations and pressure variations from the outdoor environment which could potentially allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
