Information About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes permit you to precisely aim a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target at range. They do this through magnification by making use of a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adapted to take into account numerous environmental aspects like wind speed and elevation increases to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing via the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. The majority of contemporary rifle optics have around 11 parts which are arranged within and externally on the scope. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of glass.
About Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Opting for the best type of rifle optic is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
Info on First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. This triggers the reticle to increase in size based on the amount of zoom being used. The benefit is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced distance as they are at the non amplified distance. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at 100 yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at one hundred yards with 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away kinds of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are small
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” as well as “lead” equations for their firearm
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and occupies more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Scope Facts
Second focal plane optics (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the zoom lens. 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.
- Far away forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic computations
- Shooting where most of the shots happen within much shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who select a clearer optic picture without room taken up by the larger size FFP reticle
Rifle Scope Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope provides 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.
About Fixed Power Lens Rifle Optics
A single power rifle scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This implies the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not adjust because it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the magnification degree in a format like 2-10×32. These numbers mean the magnification of the scope can be set in between 2x and 10x power. This additionally includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is accomplished by employing the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell piece.
Rifle Scope Power and Range Correlation
Here are some advised scope power settings and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Always remember that high magnification glass will not be as practical as lower magnification level scopes because excessive magnification can be a bad thing. The same idea applies to extended distances where the shooter needs enough power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Rifle Optic Lens Finish
All modern rifle scope lenses are coated. There are various types and qualities of coatings. Lens coating is an essential aspect of a rifle’s setup when contemplating high-end rifle optics and scope equipment. The lenses are among the most essential pieces of the glass considering that they are what your eye looks through while sighting a rifle in on the point of impact. The covering on the lenses shields the lens surface area as well as assists with anti glare from excess light and color exposure.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope brands also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use different techniques, components, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” meaning extra-low dispersion glass.
Scope Lens Single Finish Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can also have various finishings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before they are used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated 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 decreasing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single covered lens depends on the scope manufacturer and how much money you spent paying for it. Both the manufacturer and amount are signs of the lens quality.
Some scope makers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” covered. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of materials used in building the rifle scope.
Anti-water Lens Coverings
Water on a scope lens doesn’t assist with keeping a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Lots of top of the line and premium scope manufacturers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this type of treatment. It treats the surface area of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or create surface tension. The result is that the water beads roll off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Glass Mounting Alternatives
Mounting solutions for scopes can be found in a couple of options. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the optic and one-piece scope mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also generally can be found in quick release versions which use toss levers which enable rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Glass Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use two separate rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for long range precision shooting. This type of scope install is fine for rifles which require a durable, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be switched out if they all use a similar style mount. These types of mounts are handy for rifle platforms which are transferred a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between multiple rifles.
Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle scope can spoil a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and making residue inside of the scope’s tube. Many scopes protect against wetness from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these scopes can be submerged underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be sufficient moisture prevention for basic use rifles, unless you plan on taking your rifle on a boat and are concerned about the optic still functioning if it is submerged in water and you can still rescue the rifle.
About Optic Tube Gas Purging
Another part of preventing the accumulation of moisture inside of the rifle optic 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 influenced by temperature changes and pressure variations from the outside environment which may potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
