Information About Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by utilizing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to take into account different environmental things like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern rifle optics have about eleven parts which are found within and outside of the optic. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials or turrets, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
About Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Choosing the best type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” plus “lead” relationships for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture without room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Details on Scope Magnification
The amount of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info on Fixed Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not adjust given that it is a fixed power optic.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the magnification level in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope can be changed in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power manipulation is accomplished utilizing the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range Correlation of Optics
Here are some suggested scope powers and the distances where they can be efficiently used. Bear in mind that higher magnification optics will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics since too much zoom can be a detractor. The same goes for longer distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finish for Scopes
All modern rifle optic lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of glass lens finishes. When researching high end rifle optics and scope units, Lens finishing can be an important element of defining the rifle’s capability. The glass lenses are one of the most critical parts of the optic considering they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The covering on the lenses protects the lens surface and improves anti glare capabilities from excess sunrays and color recognition.
ED Versus HD Rifle Optics
Some scope brands also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use different methods, chemicals, components, and polarizations to draw out different colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Scope Lens Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have different coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is due to the fact that the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a covering put on it so that it will be efficiently usable in many types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while reducing 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 makers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has several treatments applied to them. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can indicate that a maker is taking numerous actions to fight various natural elements like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally doesn’t necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “better” is dependent on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of components used in creating the rifle glass.
Hydrophobic Rifle Glass Lens Finish
Water on a lens does not assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing.
Alternatives for Installing Scopes on Long Guns
Mounting solutions for scopes can be found in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also normally are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which enable rifle operators to quickly install and remove the scope.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Rings
Standard, clamp type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These types of scope mounts use a pair of independent rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for far away precision shooting. This type of scope mount is good for rifle systems which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not move regardless of just how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a dedicated optics system on a long distance scouting or tournament firearm which will almost never need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used to stop the hex screws from wiggling out after they are installed securely 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 Scope Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Optic Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Scope Tubes
Another part of avoiding the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less influenced by temp shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which may potentially permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
