About Glass
Rifle scopes enable you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of varied natural factors like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern-day rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are found inside and on the exterior of the scope. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of scopes.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The type of focal plane a scope has decides where the reticle or crosshair lies in connection with the scopes magnification. It actually suggests the reticle is situated behind or ahead of the magnification lens of the scope. Selecting the most suitable form of rifle glass depends on what kind of shooting or hunting you intend on undertaking.
First Focal Plane Optic Info
First focal plane glass (FFP) include the reticle ahead of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the level of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non amplified range. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are small
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and also “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom 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 increased time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture with less space used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Details on Glass Zoom
The amount of zoom a scope provides is identified 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.
Fixed Single Power Lens Glass Info
A single power rifle scope will have a zoom 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 type of scope can not adjust since it is a fixed power optic.
About Variable Power Lens Optics
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the magnification level in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This also includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power modification is achieved by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Optic Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope power settings and the ranges where they may be effectively used. Highly magnified scopes will not be as beneficial as lower magnification glass because too much zoom can be a bad thing. The very same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
About Scope Lens Finishing
All top teir rifle optic lenses are coated. Lens coating can be a vital element of a rifle when looking into high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Glass Lens Coatings
Some scope manufacturers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use different processes, chemicals, components, and polarizations to draw out separate colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Rifle Optic Lens Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have different coverings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while reducing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
Optic Lens Anti-water Covering
Water on a scope lens doesn’t support keeping a clear sight picture through a scope whatsoever. Many top of the line and premium scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this sort of treatment. It deals with the surface area of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Options for Installing Optics on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Rings
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 often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long range accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is excellent for rifles which require a resilient, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Rifle Glass Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifles which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for optics which are used between numerous rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle glass can mess up a day on the range and your highly-priced optic by inducing fogging and producing residue within the scope’s tube. Most scopes protect against humidity from entering the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Generally, these water-resistant optics can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough humidity prevention for conventional use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle on a boat and are concerned about the scope still functioning if it falls overboard and you can still salvage the rifle.
Rifle Scope Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less affected by condition changes and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which may potentially permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
