Glass Facts
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning 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 positioning can be dialed in to take into account separate environmental considerations like wind speed and elevation increases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Many modern rifle optics have about 11 parts which are located internally and externally on the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation turrets or dials, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Going for the perfect type of rifle glass depends on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are very little
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” as well as “lead” equations for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight room than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with 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 measurement.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic sight picture without room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Glass Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope supplies is identified by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not fluctuate because it is fixed.
Adjustable Power Lens Glass Details
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power change is achieved by making use of the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power and Range Correlations
Here are some recommended scope powers and the ranges where they may be effectively used. Keep in mind that high magnification scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification level scope and optics since excessive zoom can be a detractor. The exact same idea relates to longer distances where the shooter needs to have increased power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Info on Rifle Scope Lens Coverings
All top of the line rifle optic and scope lenses are layered. Lens finish is an important aspect of a rifle system when looking at high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
ED Versus HD Scopes
Some glass producers also use “HD” or high-definition glass coverings which employ various processes, components, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out different color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This HD finish is normally used with higher density glass which reduces light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to describe “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious over items with hard edges and outlines as light hits the item from particular angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Glass
Different scope lenses can even have different coverings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some kind of treatment or finishing applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Due to the fact that 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 finish applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in numerous types of environments, degrees of light (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing 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 makers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This suggests the lens has had numerous treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives numerous treatments, it can prove that a producer is taking several steps to combat different environmental aspects like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally does not necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “better” depends upon the producer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Covering for Glass
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic anti-water finishing.
Alternatives for Installing Rifle Glass on Firearms
Installing approaches for scopes come in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release versions which use throw levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the scope.
Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope installation 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 range accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is fine for rifles which need a long lasting, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and take off a scope from a rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect securely to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while keeping the original sighting settings. These types of mounts come in convenient for rifles which are transported a lot, to remove the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are chosen for use between numerous rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Optic Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your expensive optic by triggering fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of scopes prevent moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant.
Gas Purged Rifle Glass Tubes
Another part of avoiding the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by temperature shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which may possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to seek out.
