What You Need to Know About Glass
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through zoom using a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account separate natural factors like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing using the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are located internally and on the exterior of the optic. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials or turrets, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
Rifle Scope Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The type of focal plane an optic has determines where the reticle or crosshair is located in connection with the optic’s magnifying adjustments. It simply implies the reticle is located behind or ahead of the magnification lens of the scope. Deciding upon the best style of rifle glass is based on what form of shooting you intend on undertaking.
First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are minor
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle behind the magnifying lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the very same scale in relation to the level of zoom being used. The effect is that the reticle dimensions evolve based on the magnification employed to shoot over greater distances given that the markings present various increments which fluctuate with the zoom level. 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 measurement. These particular kinds of optics are handy for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture with less space used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Glass Zoom
The level of scope magnification you require depends on the sort of shooting you plan to do. Practically every type of rifle glass offers some level of zoom. The volume of zoom a scope provides is established by the dimension, density, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The magnification level of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This suggests what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
About Fixed Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle scope and optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change since it is fixed.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scope Info
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will list the zoom level in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is achieved using the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Glass Power and Ranges
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the ranges where they could be successfully used. High power optics will not be as beneficial as lower magnification glass since too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The exact same idea goes for longer distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
About Glass Lens Covering
All contemporary rifle optic and scope lenses are layered. There are various types and qualities of glass lens coverings. When thinking about high end rifle optical setups, Lens coating can be a vital component of a rifle. The glass lenses are one of the most critical components of the optic since they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses offers protection to the lens surface and even assists with anti glare capabilities from excess sunlight and color profiles.
ED Versus HD Rifle Glass
Some scope producers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various processes, polarizations, components, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Scopes
Various optic lenses can likewise have different finishings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or coating used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope manufacturer and how much money you spent paying for it. Both the make and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has had multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can establish that a producer is taking several actions to fight various natural factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally does not always indicate the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” hinges on the manufacturer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of products used in creating the rifle scope.
Anti-water Scope Lens Finish
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t support preserving a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Lots of top of the line or premium optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It deals with the surface of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads slide off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Installing Rifle Glass on Firearms
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 various kinds of mounts also normally come in quick release versions which use manual levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly mount and remove the glass.
Hex Key Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp-on style mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These styles of scope mounts use a pair of detached rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are made for far away accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is great for rifle systems which are in need of a durable, hard use mount which will not change regardless of just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should have for a faithful optics setup on a far away scouting or interdiction firearm that will pretty much never need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the scope mount’s screws to stop the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted tightly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type from Vortex Optics. The set usually costs around $200 USD
Optic Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and remove a scope from a rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be switched out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten tightly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while retaining precision. These kinds of mounts come in practical for shooting platforms which are moved around a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are adopted between a number of rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It typically costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Optic Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle glass can ruin a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and making residue within the scope’s tube. Most scopes protect against moisture from getting in the optical tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Usually, these scopes can be immersed underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient humidity prevention for conventional use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle on a boat and are concerned about the scope still performing if it goes overboard and you can still rescue the firearm.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another component of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less impacted by temperature level shifts and pressure variations from the external environment which might potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
