What You Need to Know About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnification by employing a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to account for varied ecological things like wind and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing with the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. The majority of modern rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are located inside and on the exterior of the scope. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Considering the perfect type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass Info
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Details
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic sight picture with less area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Scope Zoom
The amount of magnification a scope offers is determined by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Scope Facts
A single power rifle optic will have a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means 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.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass Facts
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will list the zoom degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the zoom of the scope could be changed between 2x and 10x power. This also includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is accomplished by employing the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range Correlations
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they can be successfully used. Always remember that high power optics and scopes will not be as effective as lower powered scope and optics since excessive zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same concept applies to longer distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Coating for Glass
All contemporary rifle scope lenses are coated. Lens finishing can be a vital aspect of a shooting platform when looking into high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
Details on Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some optic makers will also use “HD” or high-definition lense finishings which employ various processes, chemicals, polarizations, and components to draw out various colors and viewable target visibility through the lens. This high-def covering is frequently used with increased density lens glass which drops light’s opportunity to refract through the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles 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 can be obvious around things with defined outlines as light hits the item from particular angles.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating for Scopes
Various optic lenses can even have various coverings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or covering 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 needs to have a finishing placed on it so that it will be efficiently functional in many types of environments, degrees of light (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope company and the amount you paid for it. Both are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Finish
Water on a scope lens does not improve maintaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Lots of top of the line and premium scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the surface area of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Optic Installing Choices
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the scopes.
Hex Key Optic Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style 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 designed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which require a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. If they all use a similar style mount, multiple scopes can also be switched out on the range. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect tightly to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while preserving the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts come in practical for rifles which are transferred a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are chosen for use between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It typically costs around $250 USD
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
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. A lot of scopes avoid moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Gas Purged Rifle Optic Tubes
Another part of preventing the buildup of wetness within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less influenced by climate alterations and pressure variations from the external environment which may potentially allow 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 seek out.
