Rifle Glass Details
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnifying the target by utilizing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in to take into account many natural considerations like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up 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 point of impact. Most modern-day rifle optics have around 11 parts which are found inside and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other components. Learn about the eleven parts of scopes.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding on the optimal type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Optic Facts
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where calculations are very little
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Details
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the magnifying lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the same overall size in connection with the level of magnification being used. The final result is that the reticle measurements alter based on the magnification used to shoot over greater distances given that the reticle markings represent various increments which fluctuate with the magnification. In the FFP example with the SFP optic, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Optic Magnification
The amount of magnification a scope provides is figured out by the diameter, density, 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 Scopes
A single power rifle optic and scope uses a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of scope can not adjust considering that it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Scope Facts
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. These types of scopes will list the magnification amount in a configuration such as 2-10×32. These numbers imply the zoom of the scope can be set between 2x and 10x power. This also includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is accomplished utilizing the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Rifle Optic Power and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope powers and the distances where they can be successfully used. Remember that higher power optics will not be as effective as lower magnification level scope and optics because excessive zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Lens Covering for Optics
All modern rifle glass lenses are coated. Lens finish is a vital element of a shooting platform when looking at high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some glass makers will also use “HD” or high-definition lens coverings which make the most of various processes, polarizations, chemicals, and components to draw out separate color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-def coating is commonly used with increased density lens glass which reduces light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to refer to “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic deviance or aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious around things with hard edges and shapes as light hits the object from specific angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have various coverings used to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or coating used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Rifle Scope Lens Coating
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t help with retaining a clear sight picture through a scope in any way. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the surface of the Steiner glass lens so the water particles can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The result is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Optic Installation Alternatives
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also generally are made in quick release variations which use throw levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the scope.
Rifle Glass Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Normal, clamp design 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 separate rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope mount is perfect for rifles which need a resilient, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Optic Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly take off a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be swapped out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used between numerous rifles.
About Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes avoid moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Optic Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the buildup of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is already taken up by the gas, the glass is less affected by temperature changes and pressure variations from the external environment which could potentially allow 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 seek out.
