Info About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through zoom by utilizing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted for consideration of numerous environmental factors like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing through the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most contemporary rifle optics have around eleven parts which are arranged internally and outside of the optic. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Choosing the perfect type of rifle glass is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and “lead” correlations for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture without area used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Rifle Scope Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope provides is identified by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic and scope uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of scope can not change given that it is a set power scope.
Info on Variable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified settings. The power modification is performed using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power Level and Range of Scopes
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they can be effectively used. Highly magnified optics will not be as efficient as lower magnification optics due to the fact that too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The exact same concept goes for extended distances where the shooter needs to have increased power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Rifle Scope Lens Covering
All state-of-the-art rifle glass lenses are layered. Lens coating can be a significant aspect of a rifle system when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope setups.
Details on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some optic companies additionally use “HD” or high-def lense coverings which apply various processes, rare earth compounds, polarizations, and aspects to extract a wide range of color ranges and viewable target visibility through lenses. This high-def covering is often used with higher density glass which drops light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to describe “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious over items with hard edges and shapes as light hits the item from specific angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or covering used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while lowering 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 producer 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” covered. This suggests the lens has numerous treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets several treatments, it can indicate that a company is taking several steps to fight different natural aspects like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also does not always suggest the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” hinges on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of glass used in creating the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Covering for Optics
Water on an optic’s lens does not help with retaining a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Lots of top of the line and premium optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It treats the surface of the Steiner scope lens so the water particles can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Installing Optics on Firearms
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also normally come in quick release variations which use toss levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the optics.
Rifle Scope Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp-on design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These forms of scope mounts use a pair of individual rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is ideal for rifle systems which are in need of a durable, rock solid mount which will not move despite how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should get for a dedicated optics setup on a far away hunting or interdiction long gun that will almost never need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used to protect against the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are installed securely in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics company. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Multiple 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 fasten firmly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while retaining the original sighting settings. These types of mounts come in beneficial for shooting platforms which are carried a lot, to remove the glass from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are employed between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It normally costs around $250 USD
Info on Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Details on Rifle Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is already occupied by the gas, the optic is less influenced by climate alterations and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which could potentially allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
