Information About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnification by employing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to account for different environmental aspects like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing using the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are found internally and on the exterior of the optic. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of optics.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Selecting the perfect type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are small
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
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 reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who select a clearer optic picture without space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Optic Zoom
The measure of scope zoom you need on your glass depends upon the form of shooting you intend to do. Just about every type of rifle scope gives some amount of magnification. The level of magnification a scope gives is determined by the dimension, thickness, and curves of the lenses within the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This implies what the shooter is checking out through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle scope will have 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 fluctuate given that it is a fixed power optic.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power change is performed by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they can be efficiently used. Highly magnified rifle scope glass will not be as effective as lower magnification glass considering that too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The very same idea goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Scope Lens Coating
All state-of-the-art rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. Lens coating is a crucial element of a shooting system when considering high end rifle optics and scope systems.
Details on Rifle Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope companies also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings that employ various processes, elements, chemical substances, and polarizations to enhance numerous colors and viewable target definition through the lens. This HD finish is often used with greater density glass which lowers light’s capability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope suppliers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often visible over items with well defined outlines as light hits the item from particular angles.
What to Know About Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can even have different coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic. Since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that the lens will be optimally usable in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope designer and the amount you paid for it. Both are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has multiple treatments applied to them. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking multiple steps to combat various environmental factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally does not always imply the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single covered lens. Being “better” hinges on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Rifle Glass Lens Anti-water Finish
Water on a lens does not support maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic producers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It treats the exterior of the Steiner scope lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Mounting Glass on Firearms
Installing options for scopes can be found in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
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 styles of scope mounts use a pair of individual rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is exceptional for rifles which require a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not move despite how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you really want to have for a faithful scope system on a long distance hunting or tournament long gun which will rarely need to be modified or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the mount screws to stop the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted securely in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm type from the Vortex Optics brand. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be switched out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between numerous rifles.
About Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
About Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the buildup of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less altered by condition shifts and pressure differences from the outside environment which could potentially enable water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
