What You Need to Know About Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for consideration of numerous environmental elements like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many contemporary rifle scopes have around 11 parts which are found within and externally on the scope body. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of optics.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Considering the best type of rifle optic depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are small
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” plus “lead” correlations for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnification 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 reticle measurement.
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture without room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Optic Magnification
The extent of scope magnification you need on your optic depends on the type of shooting you want to do. Nearly every kind of rifle scope supplies some degree of magnification. The amount of magnification a scope gives is established by the dimension, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the scope is the “power” of the opic. This implies what the shooter is looking at through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not fluctuate because it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optic Details
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified settings. The power change is handled by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range
Here are some suggested scope powers and the ranges where they may be effectively used. Keep in mind that high power optics will not be as efficient as lower powered optics because increased magnification can be a negative thing in certain situations. The exact same concept goes for longer distances where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see where to best aim the rifle.
Lens Coating for Rifle Optics
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens coating can be a significant element of a shooting platform when looking into high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope makers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use various processes, aspects, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out different colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Glass Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various scope lenses can also have different coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It becomes part of the finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally usable in many types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you spent for it. Both are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This means the lens has had numerous treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives several treatments, it can establish that a manufacturer is taking several steps to combat different environmental factors like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic covering. This additionally doesn’t always imply the multi-coated lens will perform much better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends upon the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Details on Hydrophobic Coating
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish which is water repellent.
Choices for Mounting Rifle Scopes on Firearms
Installing solutions for scopes come in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also typically can be found in quick release variations which use toss levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
Normal, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount 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 are created for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is excellent for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a comparable design mount, multiple scopes can often be switched out. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach solidly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while keeping accuracy. These kinds of mounts are useful and convenient for shooting platforms which are transported a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are employed between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Optic Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid wetness 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 optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less influenced by condition alterations and pressure differences from the outside environment which may possibly permit water vapor to leak 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.
