Facts About Glass
Rifle scopes enable you to exactly align a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a distance. They do this through magnifying the target by making use of a series of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be adjusted for consideration of various natural factors like wind and elevation to account for bullet drop.
The scope’s purpose is to understand precisely where the bullet will hit based upon the sight picture you are seeing via the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Many modern-day rifle scopes and optics have around 11 parts which are arranged internally and on the exterior of the scope body. These optic pieces include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, windage and elevation turrets or dials, focus rings, and other parts. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle optics.
Rifle Optic Varieties
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. Considering the best type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
First Focal Plane Glass Details
Focal plane scopes (FFP) come with the reticle in front of the magnification lens. This induces 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 magnified range. One tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards without “zoom” is still the very same tick at 100 yards by using 5x “zoom”. These types of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting scenarios where computations are minor
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and also “lead” equations for their firearms
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and occupies more visual eyesight space than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Glass Info
Second focal plane scopes (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.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic estimations
- Shooting where most shots take place within much shorter distances and ranges
- Shooters who select a clearer optic sight picture with less room taken up by the bigger FFP reticle
Rifle Optic Magnification
The quantity of magnification a scope offers is determined by the diameter, thickness, and curvatures of the lenses inside of the rifle scope. The magnification of the scope is the “power” of the scope.
Fixed Single Power Lens Optics
A single power rifle optic or scope will have a zoom number designator like 4×32. This implies the zoom power of the scope is 4x power and the objective lens is 32mm. The zoom of this kind of optic can not adjust given that it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes use variable power levels. 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 of Rifle Scopes
Here are some advised scope powers and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Highly magnified optics will not be as beneficial as lower powered rifle scope glass considering too much zoom can be a negative aspect depending on your shooting distance. The same applies to longer distances where the shooter needs to have increased power to see exactly where to properly aim the rifle.
Details on Rifle Optic Lens Covering
All modern rifle optic lenses are layered. There are various types and qualities of finishes. When looking at luxury rifle optics and scope units, Lens finish can be a very important element of a rifle. The lenses are among the most vital pieces of the glass because they are what your eye sees through while sighting a rifle in on the target. The finish on the lenses shields the lens surface and even improves anti glare capabilities from excess sunlight and color presence.
HD Versus ED Lens Coatings
Some rifle scope suppliers also use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which employ various processes, rare earth compounds, aspects, and polarizations to enhance separate color ranges and viewable definition through the lens. This HD finishing is typically used with more costly high density lens glass which reduces light’s potential to refract through the lens glass. Some scope makers use “HD” to describe “ED” indicating extra-low dispersion glass. ED handles how colors are represented on the chroma spectrum and the chromatic aberration or deviance which is similarly called color distortion or fringing. Chromatic aberration can be noticeable around items with hard outlines as light hits the item from certain angles.
Rifle Scope Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different scope lenses can even have various finishes applied to them. All lenses normally have at least some kind of treatment or finishing applied to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic assembly. This is due to the fact that the lens isn’t just a raw piece of glass. It is part of the finely tuned optic. It needs to have a finishing put on it so that it will be efficiently usable in numerous types of environments, degrees of light (full VS shaded), and other shooting conditions.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while minimizing glare and other less advantageous things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single layered lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope makers similarly make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. Being “much better” depends on the maker’s lens treatment innovation and the quality of products used in constructing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Lens Covering
Water on a scope lens does not support maintaining a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line or premium scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic covering. The Steiner Optics Nano-Protection is a good example of this kind of treatment. It treats the exterior surfaces of the Steiner scope lens so the water particles can not bind to it or develop surface tension. The outcome is that the water beads slide off of the scope to maintain a clear, water free sight picture.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Glass on Long Guns
Mounting approaches for scopes come in a couple of choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately installed to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically come in quick release versions which use throw levers which permit rifle shooters to quickly install and dismount the scopes.
Hex Key Glass Ring Mounting Solutions
Standard, clamp type mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop style Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These kinds of scope mounts use two detached rings to support the scope, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are manufactured for long distance accuracy shooting. This form of scope mount is excellent for rifles which need a long lasting, unfailing mount which will not change despite just how much the scope is moved or abuse the rifle takes. These are the type of mounts you should have for a dedicated optics setup on a long distance scouting or sniper competition firearm which will hardly ever need to be altered or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on screws to prevent the hex screws from backing out after they are mounted safely in position. An example of these rings are the 30mm type from Vortex Optics. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Glass Mounts with Quick-Release Cantilever Rings
These kinds of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to quickly remove a scope from a rifle and reattach it to a different rifle. If they all use a comparable style mount, multiple scopes can often be swapped in the field. The quick detach mount style is CNC machined from anodized 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting levers attach nicely to a flat top type Picatinny rail. This lets the scope to be sighted in while on the rifle, taken off of the rifle, and remounted back on the rifle while retaining accuracy. These types of mounts come in practical for rifles which are transferred a lot, to take off the scope glass from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used between several rifles. An example of this mount type is the 30mm mount designed by the Vortex Optics brand. It normally costs around $250 USD
Scope Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can destroy a day of shooting and your highly-priced optic by triggering fogging and creating residue inside of the scope’s tube. Most optics protect against wetness from getting in the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Usually, these scopes can be submerged under 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can force moisture past the O-rings. This should be ample moisture content avoidance for conventional use rifles, unless you anticipate taking your rifle sailing and are worried about the scope still performing if it is submerged in water and you can still recover the firearm.
Gas Purged Optic Tubes
Another component of avoiding the buildup of moisture inside of the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Because this space is currently taken up by the gas, the optic is less affected by condition alterations and pressure variations from the outside environment which may possibly enable water vapor to permeate in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a good rifle scope to look for.
