Information Optics
Rifle scopes enable you to specifically aim a rifle at different targets by aligning your eye with the target over a range. They do this through magnification by making use of a set of lenses inside the scope. The scope’s positioning can be adapted to take into account varied natural aspects like wind and elevation increases or decreases to make up for bullet drop.
The scope’s function is to help shooters understand precisely where the bullet will land based on the sight picture you are seeing through the scope as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the target. Most modern-day rifle scopes and optics have around eleven parts which are located within and externally on the scope body. These scope parts include the rifle scope’s body, lenses, elevation dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. Learn about the eleven parts of rifle glass.
Rifle Glass Types
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of scopes. The kind of focal plane an optic has identifies where the reticle or crosshair lies relative to the optic’s zoom. It actually means the reticle is behind or ahead of the magnification lens of the optic. Deciding upon the most suitable style of rifle glass is based upon what form of shooting you intend on undertaking.
First Focal Plane Glass
Focal plane scopes (FFP) feature the reticle in front of the magnification lens. These styles of scopes are beneficial for:
- Quick acquisition, long distance types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where computations are low
- Experienced shooters who have an idea for their target “hold over” as well as “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is enlarged and uses up more visual eyesight room than a SFP reticle
Second Focal Plane Optics
Second focal plane scopes (SFP) come with the reticle behind the magnification 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.
- Long distance forms of shooting where shooters have more time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots happen within shorter ranges and distances
- Shooters who choose a clearer optic picture with less room used up by the enlarged FFP reticle
Ins and Outs of Rifle Scope Zoom
The amount of zoom a scope offers is identified 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.
Info on Single Power Lens Glass
A single power rifle optic or scope uses a zoom 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 type of optic can not change considering that it is a fixed power scope.
Variable Power Lens Rifle Glass
Variable power rifle scopes use enhanced power. The power change is accomplished using the power ring part of the scope near the back of the scope by the eye bell.
Scope Power Level and Ranges
Here are some suggested scope power levels and the ranges where they can be successfully used. Highly magnified optics will not be as beneficial as lower magnification level optics given that too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same applies to longer distances where the shooter needs sufficient power to see precisely where to properly aim the rifle.
Details on Rifle Glass Lens Finish
All current rifle scope lenses are layered. Lens coating is an important aspect of a rifle’s setup when buying high end rifle optics and scope setups.
Details on Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope producers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens finishings which use various techniques, elements, chemicals, and polarizations to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope makers use “HD” to refer to “ED” implying extra-low dispersion glass.
Rifle Glass Lens Single Covering Versus Multi-Coating
Different optic lenses can likewise have different coatings applied to them. All lenses typically have at least some type of treatment or coating used to them prior to being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can protect the lens from scratches while reducing 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 likewise make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has had several treatments applied to the surfaces of the glass. If a lens receives several treatments, it can establish that a manufacturer is taking multiple actions to combat various natural factors like an anti-glare covering, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finishing, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This additionally doesn’t necessarily indicate the multi-coated lens will perform better than a single coated lens. Being “better” depends upon the producer’s lens treatment technology and the quality of glass used in developing the rifle scope.
Hydrophobic Coating for Scopes
Water on a lens doesn’t help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Numerous top of the line and military grade optic makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating.
Scope Installation Options
Installing solutions for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the standard scope rings which are separately mounted to the scope and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various kinds of mounts also typically can be found in quick release versions which use manual levers which permit rifle shooters to rapidly mount and remove the glass.
Hex Key Rifle Optic Rings
Standard, clamp design mounting scope rings use hex head screws to position to the flattop design Picatinny scope mounting rails on rifles. These styles of scope mounts use double individual rings to support the optic, and are normally constructed from 7075 T6 billet aluminum or similar materials which are made for far away precision shooting. This type of scope mount is effective for rifle systems which are in need of a durable, rock solid mount which will not move despite how much the scope is moved about or jarring the rifle takes. These are the style of mounts you really want to have for a dedicated optics system on a long distance scouting or competition long gun which will seldom need to be modified or recalibrated. Blue 242 Loctite threadlocker can additionally be used on the screws to prevent the hex screws from wiggling out after they are mounted firmly in place. An example of these mounting rings are the 30mm style from the Vortex Optics company. The set typically costs around $200 USD
Quick-Release Cantilever Rifle Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly take off a scope and connect it to a different rifle. Multiple scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts are convenient for rifles which are transferred a lot, to remove the optic from the rifle for protection, or for scopes which are used in between several rifles or are situationally focused.
About Rifle Glass Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Moisture inside your rifle optic can ruin a day of shooting and your pricey optic by causing fogging and developing residue inside of the scope tube. Most scopes prevent moisture from entering the scope tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are waterproof.
Rifle Glass Gas Purging
Another part of avoiding the accumulation of wetness within the rifle optic tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Considering that this space is currently taken up by the gas, the scope is less impacted by climate changes and pressure differences from the external environment which might potentially permit water vapor to seep in around the seals to fill the void which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to look for.
