What You Need to Know About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They accomplish this through magnification by utilizing a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in for the consideration of many natural factors like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand exactly where the bullet will land based upon the sight picture you are viewing through the optic as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. Most modern-day rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are located within and externally on the scope. These scope parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation dials or turrets, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
Rifle Scope Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” style of scopes. The kind of focal plane a scope has decides where the reticle or crosshair is located in connection with the optic’s zoom. It simply suggests the reticle is behind or ahead of the magnifying lens of the optic. Selecting the most reliable type of rifle optic is based on what sort of shooting you plan on undertaking.
About First Focal Plane Scopes
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These types of scopes are helpful for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting situations where calculations are very little
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” plus “lead” equations for their firearms
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and requires more visual eyesight area than a SFP reticle
Info on Second Focal Plane Scopes
Second focal plane optics (SFP) come with 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 reticle measurement.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most of the shots occur within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who prefer a clearer optic picture with less space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
Magnification for Scopes
The quantity of magnification a scope provides is determined by the size, density, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Info About Single Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle optic or scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This means the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of scope can not fluctuate given that it is set from the factory.
About Adjustable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power change is performed by the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Scopes
Here are some advised scope powers and the ranges where they may be efficiently used. Consider that high power glass will not be as effective as lower powered scopes since increased zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea relates to extended ranges where the shooter needs sufficient power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Info on Scope Lens Covering
All current rifle glass lenses are covered. Lens finish can be a significant element of a shooting system when thinking about high end rifle optics and scope setups.
About Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some optic companies also use “HD” or high-definition glass finishes which make the most of various procedures, chemicals, polarizations, and aspects to draw out a wide range of colors and viewable target visibility through the lens. This HD finish is typically used with increased density lens glass which reduces light’s chance to refract by means of the lens glass. Some scope brands use “HD” to describe “ED” signifying extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is also called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration may be visible over items with hard edges and outlines as light hits the object from particular angles.
About Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can even have different coatings applied to them. All lenses usually have at least some type of treatment or finishing applied to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. 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 finely tuned optic. It requires a coating to be applied to it so that it will be optimally functional in many kinds of environments, degrees of sunlight (full light VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is typically a protective and enhancing multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less useful things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope designer and the amount you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indicators of the lens quality.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are layered or “multi” coated. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in developing the rifle scope.
What to Know About Hydrophobic Finish
Water on a lens doesn’t assist with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade scope companies will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating.
Scope Mounting Alternatives
Installing solutions for scopes come in a few options. There are the standard scope rings which are individually installed to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These different types of mounts also generally come in quick release versions which use manual levers which enable rifle operators to rapidly mount and remove the optics.
Hex Key Glass Rings
Standard, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope installation rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of separate rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is created for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope mount is wonderful for rifles which need a long lasting, sound mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Rings
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly connect and detach a scope from a rifle. If they all use a comparable style mount, several scopes can often be switched out on the range. The quick detach design is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers connect solidly to a flat top design Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, removed from the rifle, and remounted while retaining precision. These kinds of mounts are useful and practical for rifles which are transported a lot, to remove the scope from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between several rifles. An example of this mount style is the 30mm mount from Vortex Optics. It usually costs around $250 USD
Info Around Rifle Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can wreck a day of shooting and your expensive optic by inducing fogging and making residue within the scope’s tube. The majority of optics protect against moisture from getting in the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these water-resistant optics can be immersed underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be plenty of wetness avoidance for basic use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are concerned about the optic still performing if it falls overboard and you can still rescue the rifle.
Rifle Glass Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle scope tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is currently occupied by the gas, the scope is less influenced by temperature level alterations and pressure differences from the outside environment which might possibly allow water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise be there. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
