Info Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely align a rifle at various targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through zoom by utilizing a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be dialed in for the consideration of numerous ecological elements like wind and elevation decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will hit based on the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended target. Most contemporary rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are arranged internally and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
About Rifle Glass Styles
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Picking the finest type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) include the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are useful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who understand their target “hold over” and “lead” equations for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and takes up more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optic Details
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance types of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture without room taken up by the larger sized FFP reticle
Zoom for Rifle Scopes
The quantity of scope magnification you need on your optic depends upon the kind of shooting you plan to do. Virtually every kind of rifle glass supplies some level of magnification. The volume of magnification a scope provides is determined by the size, thickness, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the glass. This implies what the shooter is observing through the scope is amplified times the power aspect of what can normally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic and scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This indicates the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not adjust since it is a fixed power optic.
Info About Adjustable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will note the magnification level in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the zoom of the scope can be changed between 2x and 10x power. This also incorporates the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power shift is achieved by working with the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Optic Power and Ranges
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the distances where they could be effectively used. Always remember that higher magnification glass will not be as effective as lower powered optics and scopes since increased zoom can be a detractor. The very same idea relates to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Optic Lens Finish
All state-of-the-art rifle glass lenses are coated. Lens coating is a crucial element of a rifle system when buying high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some rifle scope makers additionally use “HD” or high-definition glass finishes that employ different processes, polarizations, components, and chemicals to draw out various colors and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-def covering is normally used with increased density lens glass which reduces light’s capability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope corporations use “HD” to describe “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are presented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often visible around objects with well defined outlines as light hits the item from specific angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can even have various finishes applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finish applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. Since the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass, they require performance enhancing coatings. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be efficiently functional in numerous types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. 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 layered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much money you spent for it. Both the make and cost are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in building the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Glass Lens Finish
Water on a scope’s lens doesn’t assist with retaining a clear sight picture through an optic at all. Numerous top of the line or premium scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It treats the exterior of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads move off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Installing Optics on Long Guns
Installing solutions for scopes are available in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also normally can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly install and dismount the scope.
Hex Key Glass Rings
Basic, clamp type mounting optic rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two independent rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is good for rifle systems which require a long lasting, rock solid mount which will not change regardless of how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should get for a specialized optics setup on a reach out and touch someone scouting or interdiction firearm which will rarely need to be altered or adjusted. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the screws to prevent the hex screws from wiggling out after they are installed securely in place. An example of these rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set usually costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Glass Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and take off a scope from a rifle. A wide range of scopes can also be switched out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten 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 maintaining accuracy. These kinds of mounts come in convenient for rifles which are moved around a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for sight systems which are chosen for use between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from the Vortex Optics manufacturer. It normally costs around $250 USD
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your highly-priced optic by resulting in fogging and developing residue within the scope tube. A lot of optics prevent wetness from going into the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these optics can be immersed beneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient humidity prevention for basic use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle sailing and are concerned about the scope still functioning if it falls overboard and you can still rescue the firearm.
Optic Gas Purging
Another element of avoiding the accumulation of moisture within the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this space is currently occupied by the gas, the optic is less influenced by climate changes and pressure distinctions 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 decent rifle scope to look for.
