Rifle Glass Information
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adjusted to take into account varied natural factors like wind speed and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand exactly where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many contemporary rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are located within and externally on the scope body. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets, focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of an optic.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Choosing the optimal type of rifle glass depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
About First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are marginal
- Experienced shooters who know their aim point “hold over” as well as “lead” correlations for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane glass (SFP) feature the reticle behind the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to remain at the very same size relative to the amount of zoom being used. The end result is that the reticle measurements adapt based on the magnification used to shoot over greater distances given that the reticle markings present distinct increments which can vary with the zoom. 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. These particular styles of glass are beneficial for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within much shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who desire a clearer optic picture without space taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Rifle Scope Zoom
The amount of scope zoom you need depends on the form of shooting you like to do. Almost every kind of rifle scope supplies some level of zoom. The amount of zoom a scope offers is identified by the dimension, density, and curvatures of the lens glass inside of the rifle optic. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope. This suggests what the shooter is checking out through the scope is magnified times the power element of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optic Details
A single power rifle scope and optic uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This indicates the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of scope can not fluctuate given that it is a fixed power scope.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power modification is performed using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range Correlations
Here are some advised scope power levels and the ranges where they could be effectively used. High power scopes will not be as beneficial as lower magnification optics given that too much magnification can be a bad thing. The exact same concept goes for extended distances where the shooter needs to have enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Details on Lens Finish
All contemporary rifle scope and optic lenses are coated. There are different types and qualities of glass finishes. When shopping for luxury rifle optical units, Lens finishing can be a vital aspect of defining the rifle’s capability. The lenses are among the most key parts of the optic as they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses protects the lens surface and improves anti glare capabilities from excess direct sunlight and color visibility.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some rifle glass suppliers even use “HD” or high-definition glass finishes which employ different procedures, polarizations, components, and chemicals to draw out separate color ranges and viewable definition through lenses. This HD finishing is typically used with higher density glass which reduces light’s ability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable around items with defined outlines as light hits the object from various angles.
Rifle Optic Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have different finishings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or covering applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
Glass Lens Anti-water Coating
Water on a scope lens does not help with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and premium scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a fine example of this type of treatment. It treats the exterior 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 slide off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Optic Installing Options
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also usually come in quick release variations which use throw levers which allow rifle shooters to rapidly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Scope Rings
Standard, clamp design 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is designed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is wonderful for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Rifle Scope Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly attach and remove a scope from a rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach tightly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while preserving precision. These kinds of mounts are useful and beneficial for shooting platforms which are carried a lot, to remove the glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are adopted in between multiple rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can spoil a day on the range and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and making residue within the scope tube. Most scopes prevent humidity from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these water resistant optics can be immersed under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough moisture content avoidance for basic use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle sailing and are concerned about the scope still functioning if it goes over the side and you can still retrieve the firearm.
Details on Rifle Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another component of avoiding the buildup of wetness within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is already occupied by the gas, the scope is less altered by condition alterations and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which might potentially enable 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.
