What You Need to Know About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through zoom by making use of a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of various natural considerations like wind and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are found inside and on the exterior of the optic. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage turrets, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of a rifle optical system.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Choosing the optimal type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Glass Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These styles of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and also “lead” correlations for their weapon
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots happen within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture with less area taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Details on Scope Zoom
The amount of scope magnification you need is based on the form of shooting you desire to do. Virtually every kind of rifle glass gives some level of magnification. The level of zoom a scope delivers is determined by the size, density, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The magnification level of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This means what the shooter is looking at through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Single Power Lens Rifle Scope Facts
A single power rifle scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not change given that it is a fixed power scope.
About Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be adjusted between magnification increments. These types of scopes will list the magnification degree in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope could be adjusted between 2x and 10x power. This additionally involves the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is achieved by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power and Range of Rifle Optics
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they may be effectively used. Consider that high power scopes and optics will not be as efficient as lower powered scopes because increased zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The exact same idea relates to extended distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finishing for Rifle Glass
All modern-day rifle optic lenses are layered. Lens finishing can be a crucial aspect of a rifle system when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope setups.
Info on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some glass suppliers even use “HD” or high-definition glass finishings that apply various processes, components, rare earth compounds, and polarizations to extract various color ranges and viewable target visibility through the lens. This high-definition coating is normally used with higher density lens glass which reduces light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be obvious around objects with hard edges and outlines as light hits the object from various angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Optics
Various optic lenses can also have different coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or coating used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
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 layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
About Hydrophobic Covering
Water on a lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish.
Optic Installing Choices
Installing approaches for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also normally are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which enable rifle shooters to rapidly mount and dismount the optics.
Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting optic 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 double independent rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for far away precision shooting. This type of scope mount is very good for rifles which are in need of a resilient, hard use mount which will not change no matter how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should get for a specialized scope system on a long distance scouting or competition long gun which will rarely need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the scope mount screws to protect against the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are installed firmly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from Vortex Optics. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts come in 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 in between several rifles or are situationally focused.
Details on Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle glass can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by inducing fogging and making residue within the scope tube. Most scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Normally, these water-resistant scopes can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample moisture content prevention for basic use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle aboard a watercraft and are worried about the optic still performing if it falls overboard and you can still salvage the firearm.
Scope Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less affected by condition alterations and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could possibly enable water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
