About Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target by employing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted for consideration of numerous ecological factors like wind speed and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are viewing using the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most modern rifle optics have about 11 parts which are found internally and outside of the scope. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other parts. See all eleven parts of scopes.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The form of focal plane a scope has decides where the reticle or crosshair is located in regard to the optic’s magnifying adjustments. It actually suggests the reticle is behind or ahead of the magnifying lens of the optic. Deciding upon the best style of rifle glass is based on what sort of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scopes
First focal plane optics (FFP) come with the reticle ahead of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified range as they are at the non magnified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the exact same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting situations where estimations are minor
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” as well as “lead” correlations for their rifles
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Info About 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 would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement.
- Far away kinds of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture without space taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Zoom for Rifle Optics
The quantity of scope magnification you need on your optic depends on the style of shooting you plan to do. Almost every kind of rifle optic delivers some amount of zoom. The amount of zoom a scope supplies is identified by the dimension, density, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnifying level of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This signifies what the shooter is checking out through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic uses a magnification number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of scope can not change since it is set from the factory.
Variable Power Lens Optic Details
Variable power rifle scopes can be modified between magnified levels. The power change is accomplished by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Glass Power and Range Correlation
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the distances where they may be efficiently used. High power glass will not be as effective as lower magnification scopes given that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same concept relates to longer distances where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Lens Finish for Rifle Scopes
All modern-day rifle scope lenses are covered in special coatings. There are different types and qualities of glass coatings. Lens finish is an important aspect of a rifle’s setup when thinking of high end rifle optics and targeting equipment. The lenses are among the most significant parts of the glass because they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The coating on the lenses offers protection to the lens surface and also helps with anti glare capabilities from excess light and color presence.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some scope manufacturers will also use “HD” or high-def lens finishings which take advantage of different procedures, polarizations, elements, and chemicals to draw out various color ranges and viewable target visibility through lenses. This HD finishing is commonly used with more costly, high density lens glass which decreases light’s ability to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be obvious around objects with defined outlines as light hits the object from particular angles.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have different coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic. Because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It must have a coating placed on it so that it will be efficiently functional in many types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope producer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can establish that a producer is taking several actions to fight different environmental factors like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion covering, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally doesn’t necessarily mean the multi-coated lens is better than a single coated lens. Being “better” depends upon the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of components used in building the rifle optic.
About Anti-water Covering
Water on an optical lens does not assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope whatsoever. 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 kind of treatment. It deals with the exterior of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads move off of the scope to preserve a clear, water free sight picture.
Choices for Mounting Rifle Glass on Firearms
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also usually can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Glass 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 separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is wonderful for rifles which need a resilient, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible design mount. These types of mounts are convenient for long guns which are transferred a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by causing fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Many scopes prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Rifle Optic Tubes
Another component of avoiding the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic 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 condition alterations and pressure differences from the outside environment which could potentially enable water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
