What You Need to Know About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification using a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted to take into account many environmental factors like wind speed and elevation increases or decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly 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 point of impact. Most modern rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are located inside and externally on the scope body. These parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage dials, focus rings, and other components. See all eleven parts of scopes.
The Varieties of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding upon the perfect type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass Facts
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based on the extent of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified range as they are at the non amplified distance. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the corresponding tick at 100 yards using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are small
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” as well as “lead” relationships for their long guns
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. This induces the reticle to remain at the same scale relative to the quantity of magnification being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements adapt based upon the zoom chosen to shoot over lengthier ranges because the markings represent distinct increments which differ with the zoom level. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These sorts of glass are handy for:
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have additional time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic sight picture with less area used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Magnification for Scopes
The measure of scope magnification you need on your optic depends on the type of shooting you want to do. Nearly every kind of rifle scope supplies some amount of magnification. The volume of magnification a scope delivers is determined by the dimension, thickness, and curves of the lens glass within the rifle optic. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope. This indicates what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can usually be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Rifle Optic Info
A single power rifle optic will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this type of optic can not fluctuate considering that it is fixed.
About Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. The power adjustment is accomplished by using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the ranges where they can be effectively used. Consider that higher magnification optics and scopes will not be as efficient as lower powered scope and optics due to the fact that excessive magnification can be a detractor. The same applies to longer ranges where the shooter needs to have adequate power to see precisely where to best aim the rifle.
About Lens Covering
All present day rifle glass lenses are covered. Lens coating can be a significant aspect of a rifle’s setup when looking into high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
Info on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some glass makers will also use “HD” or high-def glass finishes that use different processes, polarizations, chemicals, and aspects to extract separate color ranges and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-definition finishing is typically used with higher density glass which lowers light’s chance to refract through the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable over things with defined shapes as light hits the object from various angles.
Info on Single Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Various optic lenses can even have various finishes applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic. This is because the lens isn’t simply a raw piece of glass. It is part of the carefully tuned optic. It needs to have a covering put on it so that it will be efficiently functional in many types of environments, degrees of light (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while reducing 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 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” coated. This implies the lens has had numerous treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens gets multiple treatments, it can prove that a manufacturer is taking several steps to combat different environmental aspects like an anti-glare coating, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This additionally does not always imply the multi-coated lens is better than a single coated lens. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle optic.
Anti-water Lens Finishing
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating.
Choices for Mounting Scopes on Firearms
Mounting solutions for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also usually are made in quick release versions which use manual levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the scopes.
Glass Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp design mounting optic rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on the tops of rifles. These styles of scope mounts use a pair of separate rings to support the scope, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for far away precision shooting. This kind of scope mount is ideal for rifle systems which need a long lasting, hard use mount which will not shift regardless of just how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you should have for a specialized scope system on a far away hunting or sniper competition long gun that will seldom need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used to keep the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted tightly in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type made by the Vortex Optics company. The set usually costs around $200 USD
Scope Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope and attach it to a different rifle. Several scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a compatible style mount. These types of mounts are convenient for rifles which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between multiple rifles.
Sealing and Gas Purging for Glass Tubes
Wetness inside your rifle optic can spoil a day on the range and your costly optic by causing fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. The majority of optics protect against wetness from going into the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof. Typically, these water resistant scopes can be submerged within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample wetness prevention for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle boating and are concerned about the optic still functioning if it goes over the side and you can still rescue the gun.
Glass Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this area is currently occupied by the gas, the glass is less influenced by climate alterations and pressure distinctions from the outside environment which could potentially allow water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
