All About Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target by utilizing a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for consideration of many natural things like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help the shooter understand exactly where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing with the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of contemporary rifle optics have about eleven parts which are arranged internally and outside of the scope body. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of a rifle scope.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Deciding on the best type of rifle scope is based on what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of magnification being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified range as they are at the non magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards with no “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards by using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are practical for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where estimations are low
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and uses up more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to stay at the exact same size in relation to the quantity of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements adjust based upon the zoom used to shoot over lengthier ranges due to the fact that the reticle measurements represent different increments which can vary with the magnification level. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who like a clearer optic picture with less area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
About Optic Zoom
The quantity of magnification a scope offers is figured out 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.
Fixed Power Lens Scope Facts
A single power rifle optic will have 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 kind of scope can not change since it is fixed.
Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass Facts
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified settings. The power modification is performed by the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power Level and Range Correlation
Here are some recommended scope power settings and the ranges where they can be effectively used. Consider that high magnification scopes will not be as efficient as lower magnification level optics because increased magnification can be a detractor. The exact same concept goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs to have sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Optic Lens Covering
All present day rifle scope and optic lenses are layered. Lens finish is a vital aspect of a rifle system when looking into high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some rifle glass producers even use “HD” or high-def glass finishes which take advantage of various processes, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out different colors and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-def coating is typically used with more costly high density lens glass which lowers light’s opportunity to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are presented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often obvious over items with hard edges and outlines as light hits the object from certain angles.
Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Scopes
Different scope lenses can even have different coverings applied to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic. 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 carefully tuned optic. It needs to have a coating applied to it so that the lens will be efficiently functional in numerous types of environments, degrees of sunshine (full light VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
Single layered lenses have a treatment applied to them which is generally a protective and improving multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while lowering glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends upon the scope maker and the amount you spent for it. The scope’s maker and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope producers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. This implies the lens has multiple treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can show that a producer is taking numerous actions to fight different environmental aspects like an anti-glare finish, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally does not always mean the multi-coated lens is much better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the maker’s lens treatment techniques and the quality of products used in developing the rifle optic.
Anti-water Glass Lens Coating
Water on a lens does not assist with keeping a clear sight picture through an optic whatsoever. Lots of top of the line and premium scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It provides protection for the exterior of the Steiner glass lens so the water particles can not bind to it or produce surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Glass Installing Choices
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also generally come in quick release versions which use throw levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly mount and remove the optics.
Hex Key Scope Ring Mounts
Standard, clamp-on design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These forms of scope mounts use two individual rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are developed for far away precision shooting. This form of scope mount is effective for rifles which are in need of a resilient, unfailing mount which will not move despite just how much the scope is moved or jarring the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should get for a specialized scope system on a reach out and touch someone scouting or interdiction firearm which will hardly ever need to be changed or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on screws to protect against the hex screw threads from wiggling out after they are mounted tightly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style made by the Vortex Optics brand. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Scope Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a comparable design mount, multiple scopes can often be switched on the range. The quick detach design 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 precision. These types of mounts are useful and convenient for shooting platforms which are transferred a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are chosen for use in between numerous rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount designed by Vortex Optics. It normally costs around $250 USD
About Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can destroy a day of shooting and your expensive optic by bringing about fogging and producing residue inside of the scope tube. A lot of scopes avoid moisture from going into the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Info Around Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another element of preventing the accumulation of wetness inside of the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less affected by temp alterations and pressure differences from the external environment which could possibly allow water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
