Information About Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom by making use of a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for the consideration of many ecological aspects like wind and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes and optics have about 11 parts which are found within and externally on the scope. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
About Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Finding the best type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane optics (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the level of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified range as they are at the non magnified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the very same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are small
- Experienced shooters who understand their aim point “hold over” and “lead” relationships for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Facts
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with the reticle behind 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.
- Long distance kinds of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots happen within shorter ranges and proximities
- Shooters who want a clearer optic picture with less area taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Magnification for Rifle Optics
The amount of scope zoom you need on your optic depends upon the kind of shooting you desire to do. Practically every kind of rifle glass provides some level of magnification. The amount of magnification a scope delivers is identified by the diameter, density, and curvatures of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnification level of the optic is the “power” of the opic. This denotes what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can typically be seen by human eyes.
About Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not adjust because it is set from the factory.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Optic Details
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification levels. It will list the zoom degree in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope could be set in between 2x and 10x power. This always utilizes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is achieved utilizing the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Glass Power Level and Ranges
Here are some recommended scope powers and the distances where they could be successfully used. Consider that high power glass will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics and scopes since too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same relates to longer distances where the shooter needs increased power to see where to best aim the rifle at the target.
Lens Finishing for Scopes
All modern rifle scope lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of glass lens coverings. When thinking about luxury rifle scope devices, Lens coating can be a critical aspect of defining the rifle’s capability. The lenses are one of the most significant pieces of the optic considering that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The coating on the lenses offers protection to the lens exterior and improves anti glare capabilities from refracted daylight and color visibility.
Info on Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope manufacturers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use different processes, polarizations, chemicals, and aspects to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can likewise have different finishes used to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is usually a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single covered lens depends upon the scope manufacturer and just how much you paid for it. Both the make and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
About Hydrophobic Covering
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating which is water repellent.
Glass Installation Choices
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also normally are made in quick release versions which use throw levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Rings
Basic, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These styles of scope mounts use two detached rings to support the scope, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are manufactured for far away precision shooting. This form of scope mount is effective for rifle systems which need to have a resilient, rock solid mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should have for a dedicated optics setup on a far away hunting or competitors firearm that will rarely need to be changed or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the screws to keep the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted firmly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type made by Vortex Optics. The set generally costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Glass Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a similar style mount, several scopes can also be switched out. The quick detach design is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten securely 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 back on the rifle while keeping precision. These kinds of mounts come in handy for shooting platforms which are shipped a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are employed in between a number of rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can spoil a day on the range and your highly-priced optic by resulting in fogging and generating residue within the scope’s tube. Many optics prevent moisture from getting in the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these water resistant optics can be submerged beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient humidity avoidance for standard use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you anticipate taking your rifle aboard watercrafts and are worried about the scope still working if it is submerged in water and you can still rescue the rifle.
Info on Rifle Glass Tube Gas Purging
Another component of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Since this area is currently taken up by the gas, the glass is less altered by temperature level changes and pressure variations from the outside environment which may possibly permit water vapor to permeate 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.
