What You Need to Know About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by employing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted for consideration of different environmental things 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 hit based on the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most contemporary rifle optics have around eleven parts which are located internally and outside of the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
Rifle Optic Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” kind of scopes. The kind of focal plane a scope has identifies where the reticle or crosshair lies relative to the optic’s magnification. It actually indicates the reticle is located behind or ahead of the magnification lens of the scope. Picking the best type of rifle optic is dependent on what variety of shooting you intend on undertaking.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are minor
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture without room used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Scope Zoom
The level of scope magnification you need on your optic depends upon the form of shooting you would like to do. Just about every type of rifle scope provides some amount of magnification. The volume of magnification a scope provides is established by the dimension, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses within the rifle scope. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This indicates what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not change given that it is set from the factory.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification power levels. It will note the magnification degree in a format such as 2-10×32. These numbers suggest the magnification of the scope could be set between 2x and 10x power. This also involves the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is achieved by applying the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Scope Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope powers and the distances where they may be successfully used. Bear in mind that high power optics and scopes will not be as effective as lower powered scopes due to the fact that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same applies to longer distances where the shooter needs adequate power to see where to best aim the rifle.
About Lens Finishes
All contemporary rifle optic lenses are layered. There are various types and qualities of glass lens coverings. Lens finish can be an important aspect of a rifle when thinking of high-end rifle optics and scope units. The glass lenses are one of the most crucial parts of the scope considering that they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The covering on the lenses shields the lens surface area as well as helps with anti glare from excess natural light and color discernibility.
About Glass Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some rifle glass producers even use “HD” or high-definition glass finishes which apply various processes, rare earth compounds, aspects, and polarizations to extract various color ranges and viewable target definition through lenses. This high-def covering is often used with higher density glass which decreases light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope suppliers use “HD” to refer to “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be noticeable over things with defined outlines as light hits the object from specific angles.
Scope Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can also have various finishes applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is since the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It becomes part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a finishing placed on it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single covered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope company and how much money you spent on it. Both the manufacturer and amount are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope makers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Rifle Glass Lens Covering
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end optic companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing.
Scope Installation Choices
Installing approaches for scopes come in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly install and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Glass Ring Mounts
Standard, clamp design 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are designed for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is wonderful for rifles which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Rifle Scope Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly attach and take off a scope from a rifle. If they all use a comparable style mount, a number of scopes can also be swapped on the range. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect nicely 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 back on the rifle while retaining accuracy. These types of mounts come in convenient for rifles which are transferred a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are employed in between numerous rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics brand. It typically costs around $250 USD
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Rifle Glass Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less influenced by climate shifts and pressure distinctions from the outdoor environment which may 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.
