What You Need to Know About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target at range. They accomplish this through magnification using a series of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to account for separate environmental elements like wind speed and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are viewing via the scope as you align the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. A lot of modern rifle scopes have about 11 parts which are found within and on the exterior of the optic. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle scopes.
Rifle Optic Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Deciding on the optimal type of rifle glass is based around what type of shooting you plan on doing.
First Focal Plane Glass Details
First focal plane glass (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This causes the reticle to increase in size based upon the amount of zoom being used. The result is that the reticle measurements are the same at the amplified distance as they are at the non magnified distance. For example, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without any “zoom” is still the same tick at 100 yards with 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes are valuable for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where calculations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their aim point “hold over” and also “lead” relationships for their firearms
- Shooters who don’t mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) include the reticle to the rear of the magnification lens. In the FFP example with the SFP scope, the 5x “zoom” one hundred yard tick measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Long distance styles of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots happen within shorter spaces and ranges
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture without area used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
About Scope Magnification
The amount of zoom a scope provides is figured out by the size, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
About Single Power Lens Rifle Scopes
A single power rifle optic and scope comes with a zoom number designator like 4×32. This suggests the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this type of optic can not adjust because it is set from the factory.
About Variable Power Lens Rifle Scopes
Variable power rifle scopes can be changed between magnification increments. These types of scopes will list the zoom degree in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers indicate the magnification of the scope could be adjusted in between 2x and 10x power. This always includes the powers in-between 2 and 10. The power adaptation is achieved using the power ring component of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell piece.
The Power Level and Range of Glass
Here are some recommended scope power levels and the ranges where they may be effectively used. Bear in mind that high magnification scopes will not be as practical as lower powered glass because too much zoom can be a negative thing in certain situations. The same idea goes for longer ranges where the shooter needs increased power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
About Optic Lens Finishing
All modern rifle optic and scope lenses are covered. Lens finishing can be a significant element of a shooting platform when buying high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
HD Versus ED Lenses
Some scope makers additionally use “HD” or high-definition lense coatings which make the most of different processes, polarizations, components, and chemicals to extract various colors and viewable target visibility through the lens. This high-def finish is typically used with more costly, high density lens glass which brings down light’s capability to refract through the lens glass. Some scope manufacturers use “HD” to describe “ED” suggesting extra-low dispersion glass. ED deals with how certain colors are represented on the chromatic spectrum and the chromatic aberration or difference which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration is often noticeable over items with well defined outlines as light hits the item from certain angles.
Details on Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have various coatings applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some type of treatment or finish used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
Single coated lenses have a treatment applied to them which is normally a protective and boosting multi-purpose treatment. This lens treatment can preserve the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the optic. The quality of a single coated lens depends upon the scope company and how much you paid for it. Both the make and cost are indications of the lens quality.
Some scope producers likewise make it a point to specify if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This implies the lens has had numerous treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens gets numerous treatments, it can show that a producer is taking numerous actions to combat various natural elements like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion coating, followed by a hydrophilic finish. This also does not necessarily imply the multi-coated lens is much better than a single coated lens. Being “better” depends on the producer’s lens treatment solutions and the quality of products used in creating the rifle scope.
Anti-water Coating for Rifle Glass
Water on a lens does not assist with keeping a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Many top of the line and military grade scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic covering.
Options for Mounting Rifle Optics on Long Guns
Mounting options for scopes are available in a few options. There are the basic scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also normally are made in quick release variations which use toss levers which permit rifle operators to quickly mount and dismount the optics.
Hex Key Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
Normal, clamp design 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 two different rings to support the optic, and are often made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which is created for long distance accuracy shooting. This type of scope install is great for rifles which need a durable, rock solid mounting solution which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounts
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly detach a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can also be swapped out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for long guns which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protecting the scope, or for scopes which are used in between multiple rifles.
About Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle scope can ruin a day of shooting and your costly optic by triggering fogging and producing residue within the scope’s tube. The majority of scopes prevent wetness from entering the scope tube with a series of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Generally, these optics can be immersed within 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample humidity prevention for standard use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you plan on taking your rifle on boats and are worried about the optic still working if it goes over the side and you can still retrieve the firearm.
Gas Purged Scope Tubes
Another part of preventing the buildup of wetness inside of the rifle optic’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this area is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less altered by condition shifts and pressure differences from the external environment which might potentially permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
