Glass Facts
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by utilizing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for consideration of separate environmental factors like wind and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing with the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many contemporary rifle optics have around eleven parts which are arranged within and externally on the optic. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of an optic.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The form of focal plane an optic has identifies where the reticle or crosshair is located in connection with the scopes zoom. It simply indicates the reticle is located behind or in front of the magnifying lens of the optic. Selecting the most reliable kind of rifle optic is based on what type of shooting or hunting you anticipate undertaking.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their firearms
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnifying lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the exact same scale in relation to the quantity of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle dimensions alter based upon the magnification used to shoot over greater ranges considering the markings represent different increments which vary with the magnification. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement. These types of optics are beneficial for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture without room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Optic Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope provides is identified by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not fluctuate considering that it is a fixed power scope.
About Adjustable Power Lens Glass
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power change is handled by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range of Glass
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they could be efficiently used. Keep in mind that high magnification scopes will not be as effective as lower powered scopes because excessive zoom can be a bad thing. The same goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs enough power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Lens Covering for Optics
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of glass lens finishes. Lens covering is an essential aspect of a rifle when looking into high-end rifle optics and scope units. The lenses are one of the most significant components of the scope given that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finish on the lenses shields the lens exterior as well as improves anti glare capabilities from excess light and color perception.
HD Versus ED Optic Lens Coatings
Some optic makers will also use “HD” or high-def lens coverings which take advantage of different processes, polarizations, aspects, and chemicals to enhance numerous color ranges and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-def covering is frequently used with higher density lens glass which reduces light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to refer to “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable around things with hard edges and shapes as light hits the item from specific angles.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Scopes
Various optic lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or covering used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful 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 producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This means the lens has multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens gets several treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking several actions to combat various natural factors like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally does not always suggest the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single layered lens. Being “much better” depends upon the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of glass used in building the rifle scope.
Anti-water Finish for Glass
Water on an optic’s lens does not support keeping a clear sight picture through a scope whatsoever. Numerous top of the line or premium optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It treats the exterior of the Steiner glass lens so the water molecules 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.
Glass Installing Options
Installing options for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which allow rifle operators to rapidly mount and remove the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
Basic, clamp-on style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use a pair of independent rings to support the scope, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are manufactured for far away accuracy shooting. This kind of scope mount is excellent for rifles which require a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not shift regardless of how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you want for a devoted optics system on a long distance scouting or hard target interdiction firearm that will hardly ever need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the screws to prevent the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are installed securely in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type from Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Optic Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifle platforms which are transported a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Rifle Optic Tubes
Another part of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less influenced by temp shifts and pressure variations from the external environment which could potentially allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
