Facts 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 zoom by utilizing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account different natural things like wind speed 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 align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. The majority of contemporary rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are found internally and outside of the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
About Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding on the perfect type of rifle optic is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle before the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the level of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non amplified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are practical for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their long gun
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Details
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic picture with less room used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Zoom for Rifle Glass
The amount of magnification a scope offers is figured out by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Scope Details
A single power rifle optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not adjust given that it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scope Facts
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the magnification degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope could be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This additionally involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is accomplished by operating the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Optic Power and Range Correlation
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they could be effectively used. Consider that higher power scopes will not be as practical as lower powered scope and optics since excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The same goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Covering for Optics
All modern-day rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. There are various types and qualities of glass finishes. Lens finishing can be a crucial element of a rifle when contemplating high-end rifle optics and scope units. The glass lenses are among the most essential components of the glass due to the fact that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finishing on the lenses safeguards the lens exterior and improves anti glare from refracted direct sunlight and color profiles.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some rifle glass companies even use “HD” or high-definition lense finishings that employ various procedures, rare earth compounds, polarizations, and elements to enhance a wide range of colors and viewable target definition through the lens. This HD finishing is commonly used with higher density lens glass which lowers light’s ability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to describe “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be obvious around items with defined shapes as light hits the object from specific angles.
Rifle Scope Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope manufacturer and just how much you spent on it. Both are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking numerous steps to fight different natural factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally does not necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single coated lens. Being “better” hinges on the producer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of materials used in building the rifle optic.
Anti-water Lens Covering
Water on an optical lens doesn’t improve maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Numerous top of the line or premium scope producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the surface of the Steiner optic lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads roll off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Glass Installing Choices
Mounting approaches for scopes can be found in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also generally can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the optics.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is wonderful for rifles which require a resilient, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Ring Mounts
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly take off a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar style mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect securely to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This allows the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while preserving accuracy. These types of mounts are useful and convenient for shooting platforms which are moved a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are employed in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It usually costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of optics protect against wetness from going into the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these optics can be submerged under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough moisture content prevention for conventional use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle boating and are worried about the optic still functioning if it falls overboard and you can still find the rifle.
About Rifle Scope Tube Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less influenced by temp changes and pressure differences from the external environment which could possibly permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
