Rifle Glass Details
Rifle scopes permit you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnifying the target by using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to account for separate natural factors like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are seeing through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are located inside and externally on the optic. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, adjustment turrets or dials, objective focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
Rifle Glass Varieties
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 on doing.
First Focal Plane Optics
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the zoom lens. These kinds of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are low
- Experienced shooters who know their target “hold over” and “lead” equations for their rifles
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Info
Second focal plane glass (SFP) include the reticle behind the zoom lens. This causes the reticle to stay at the very same overall size relative to the level of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle dimensions change based upon the zoom employed to shoot over lengthier distances because the markings represent distinct increments which fluctuate with the magnification level. In the FFP illustration with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” 100 yard tick reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick measurement. These styles of optics work for:
- Far away types of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots take place within shorter proximities and ranges
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture with less room taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Rifle Glass Zoom
The quantity of zoom a scope offers is determined by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The zoom of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Scopes
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a magnification number designator like 4×32. This suggests the magnification power of the scope is 4x power while the objective lens is 32mm. The magnification of this kind of optic can not change given that it is a fixed power optic.
About Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be tweaked between magnified levels. The power modification is achieved using the power ring part of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Glass
Here are some suggested scope power settings and the distances where they can be efficiently used. Keep in mind that high power optics and scopes will not be as practical as lower magnification level scope and optics because excessive magnification can be a detractor. The very same idea goes for extended ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
About Lens Finishing
All modern rifle scope and optic lenses are covered. Lens covering is an essential aspect of a shooting system when considering high end rifle optics and scope setups.
HD Versus ED Glass Lens Coatings
Some scope manufacturers also use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use different processes, polarizations, components, and chemicals to draw out different colors and viewable definition through the lens. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Scope Lens Coating Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can also have various coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some kind 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 must have a covering put on it so that the lens will be efficiently usable in many types of environments, degrees of sunlight (full VS shade), and other shooting conditions.
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 covered lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers similarly make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are covered or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the manufacturer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle scope.
About Anti-water Covering
Water on a scope’s lens does not support retaining a clear sight picture through an optic in any way. Lots of top of the line or high-end optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic finish. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this sort of treatment. It provides protection for the surface area of the Steiner optic lens so the H2O molecules can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads sheet off of the scope to keep a clear, water free sight picture.
Rifle Glass Installation Alternatives
Mounting approaches for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different kinds of mounts also generally can be found in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the scope.
Glass Mounting Solutions with Hex Key Rings
Basic, clamp type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to install to the flattop design Picatinny scope mount rails on the tops of rifles. These forms of scope mounts use a pair of individual rings to support the optic, and are usually constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are developed for far away accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is exceptional for rifles which need a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not shift no matter how much the scope is moved about or abuse the rifle takes. These are the design of mounts you should have for a specialized optics setup on a long distance scouting or tournament long gun that will seldom need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can also be used on the mount’s screws to stop the hex screw threads from backing out after they are installed tightly in position. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics company. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Scope Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly detach a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a complementary style mount. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect solidly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This permits the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted while preserving precision. These types of mounts are useful and practical for shooting platforms which are transported a lot, to remove the glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are utilized between several rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It generally costs around $250 USD
Sealing and Gas Purging for Rifle Glass Tubes
Moisture inside your rifle scope can mess up a day of shooting and your pricey optic by triggering fogging and developing 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.
Scope Gas Purging
Another element of preventing 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 scope is less affected by climate shifts and pressure differences from the outside environment which could potentially permit water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
