Rifle Glass Information
Rifle scopes allow you to precisely aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnifying the target by using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted for consideration of separate natural things like wind speed and elevation decreases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose 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 intended point of impact. A lot of modern rifle scopes have around eleven parts which are arranged internally and outside of the scope. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification turrets or dials, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
The Styles of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Opting for the perfect type of rifle scope depends on what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info on First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the level of magnification being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the magnified distance as they are at the non amplified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the very same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are small
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and also “lead” ratios for their weapon
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and requires more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) feature the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have increased time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who want a clearer optic sight picture without space used up by the larger size FFP reticle
Magnification for Optics
The quantity of scope magnification you require is based on the type of shooting you wish to do. Pretty much every type of rifle glass provides some degree of magnification. The level of magnification a scope gives is identified by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lens glass within the rifle scope. The magnification of the optic is the “power” of the scope. This denotes what the shooter is aiming at through the scope is amplified times the power factor of what can generally be seen by human eyes.
Fixed Single Power Lens Scope Details
A single power rifle scope will have 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 magnification of this type of optic can not adjust since it is fixed.
About Variable Power Lens Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power modification is performed by the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
Power Levels and Range
Here are some advised scope power levels and the ranges where they could be effectively used. Consider that higher power optics and scopes will not be as practical as lower powered scopes since excessive zoom can be a bad thing. The exact same concept relates to extended distances where the shooter needs adequate power to see where to properly aim the rifle at the target.
Rifle Optic Lens Finishing
All state-of-the-art rifle glass lenses are coated. Lens coating can be an essential element of a rifle system when purchasing high end rifle optics and scope systems.
HD Versus ED Scope Lens Coatings
Some glass suppliers will also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings that apply various processes, components, chemical substances, and polarizations to extract various colors and viewable target definition through the lens. This high-def finishing is frequently used with increased density glass which drops light’s potential to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope vendors use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic difference or aberration which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable over items with hard outlines as light hits the item from particular angles.
Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have different finishes used to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or coating applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can offer protection to the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less helpful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much you paid for it.
Some scope producers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” covered. Being “much better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of products used in developing the rifle scope.
Anti-water Optic Lens Finishing
Water on an optical lens doesn’t improve preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and premium optic manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It deals with the exterior surfaces of the Steiner glass lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The result is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Optics on Long Guns
Installing approaches for scopes come in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also normally can be found in quick release variations which use throw levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly mount and dismount the scopes.
Rifle Glass Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting optic rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These styles of scope mounts use two detached rings to support the optic, and are normally made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are created for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is great for rifles which require a resilient, hard use mount which will not shift despite how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should get for a dedicated scope system on a reach out and touch someone scouting or interdiction firearm that will rarely need to be modified or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the mount screws to keep the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted safely in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from Vortex Optics. The set normally costs around $200 USD
Rifle Glass Mounting Solutions with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and remove a scope from a rifle. Several scopes can also be switched out if they all use a complementary designed mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC crafted from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers fasten solidly to a flat top style Picatinny rail. This enables the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while retaining the original sighting settings. These kinds of mounts come in beneficial for rifles which are moved around a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for aiming systems which are adopted between numerous rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It typically costs around $250 USD
Info on Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your costly optic by bringing about fogging and creating residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes avoid moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Glass Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the accumulation of moisture within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is already taken up by the gas, the scope is less affected by temperature shifts and pressure differences from the outdoor environment which might potentially enable water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
