What You Need to Know About Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account various ecological elements like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are found internally and externally on the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of optics.
About Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The sort of focal plane an optic has decides where the reticle or crosshair is located relative to the scopes magnification. It actually implies the reticle is located behind or in front of the magnification lens of the optic. Looking for the most effective sort of rifle scope is based on what form of hunting or shooting you anticipate undertaking.
First Focal Plane Scope Details
First focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle before the magnification lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on the extent of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified range as they are at the non magnified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where computations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their firearms
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Details
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle behind the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic sight picture without area taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Glass Zoom
The quantity of scope magnification you need on your glass depends upon the kind of shooting you want to do. Pretty much every kind of rifle glass gives some degree of zoom. The level of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the dimension, density, and curves of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope. This suggests what the shooter is observing through the scope is magnified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
Info on Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope or optic comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not fluctuate since it is a set power scope.
Variable Power Lens Optic Facts
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the magnification degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope can be changed between 2x and 10x power. This additionally incorporates the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is achieved by making use of the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Scopes
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they can be efficiently used. High power glass will not be as beneficial as lower magnification level glass since too much magnification can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same concept relates to extended distances where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finish for Rifle Scopes
All current rifle glass lenses are covered. Lens finish can be a vital element of a shooting system when looking into high end rifle optics and scope systems.
Details on Rifle Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope makers additionally use “HD” or high-def glass finishes which take advantage of different processes, chemical applications, polarizations, and components to draw out separate colors and viewable target definition through the lens. This HD finishing is normally used with more costly high density lens glass which drops light’s ability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to describe “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often visible over items with defined shapes as light hits the object from certain angles.
About Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can even have different coverings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. This is due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It must have a covering placed on it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in many kinds of environments, degrees of light (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has had multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets several treatments, it can indicate that a company is taking numerous actions to fight various environmental aspects like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic coating. This also doesn’t always mean the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the manufacturer’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of glass used in creating the rifle glass.
Rifle Optic Lens Hydrophobic Finishing
Water on a scope’s lens does not improve retaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Lots of top of the line or high-end scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It deals with the surface area of the Steiner optic lens so the water molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Glass Mounting Options
Installing options for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly mount and remove the scope.
Hex Key Scope Rings
Normal, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope installation 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 distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which need a long lasting, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar 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 protection, or for scopes which are used in between numerous rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle glass can ruin a day of shooting and your highly-priced optic by inducing fogging and generating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes protect against humidity from entering the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Usually, these water resistant optics can be immersed within 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 basic use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle on a boat and are worried about the optic still working if it goes over the side and you can still salvage the gun.
Gas Purged Rifle Glass Tubes
Another part of preventing the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is already taken up by the gas, the optic is less affected by temperature level alterations and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which may potentially allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
