Info About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom by making use of a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for the consideration of various environmental considerations like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing via the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are located internally and externally on the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
Rifle Glass Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Finding the optimal type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Details
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to stay at the exact same dimensions in relation to the amount of zoom being used. The effect is that the reticle dimensions adjust based on the magnification employed to shoot over longer ranges because 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. These particular kinds of optics are useful for:
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots take place within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who select a clearer optic sight picture without space taken up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Zoom for Optics
The extent of scope magnification you need on your glass depends upon the style of shooting you choose to do. Nearly every type of rifle optic offers some amount of magnification. The level of zoom a scope supplies is determined by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle optic. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the glass. This signifies what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a zoom 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 change since it is set from the factory.
Adjustable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will list the magnification amount in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope could be adjusted in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is accomplished by working with the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they may be successfully used. Consider that higher magnification optics and scopes will not be as efficient as lower magnification level optics and scopes since increased magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same idea goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Lens Coating for Rifle Glass
All present day rifle glass lenses are covered. Lens covering can be a significant element of a rifle’s setup when looking into high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which use various methods, chemicals, elements, and polarizations to draw out various colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have various finishings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can shield 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 upon the scope developer and how much you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This means the lens has had numerous treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives several treatments, it can establish that a producer is taking multiple steps to fight different environmental aspects like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This also does not necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is much better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle glass.
Scope Lens Hydrophobic Covering
Water on a lens does not assist with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating which is water repellent.
Options for Installing Rifle Optics on Firearms
Installing solutions for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally come in quick release variations which use manual levers which allow rifle operators to quickly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Optic Ring Mounts
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to fix to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These varieties of scope mounts use two individual rings to support the scope, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is very good for rifle systems which need a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not change despite how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should get for a specialized optics setup on a long distance hunting or interdiction rifle that will almost never need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on screws to protect against the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are installed safely in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Optic Ring Mounts
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and detach a scope from a rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach nicely to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while retaining precision. These types of mounts are useful and practical for rifles which are hauled around a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are adopted between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and creating 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 waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Optic Tubes
Another part of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less altered by temp alterations and pressure variations from the external environment which could possibly enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
