Facts About Rifle Glass
Rifle scopes allow you to specifically align a rifle at various targets by lining up your eye with the target over a distance. They accomplish this through magnification using a set of lenses within the scope. The scope’s alignment can be dialed in to take into account numerous natural considerations 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 upon the sight picture you are seeing through the optic as you line up the scope’s crosshair or reticle with the intended point of impact. A lot of modern-day rifle scopes have about eleven parts which are located within and on the exterior of the scope. These parts consist of the rifle scope’s body, lenses, modification dials or turrets, objective focus rings, and other elements. See all eleven parts of optics.
The Types of Rifle Scopes
Rifle scopes can be either “first focal plane” or “second focal plane” type of optics. Considering the optimal type of rifle scope is based around what type of shooting you plan to do.
About First Focal Plane Optics
First focal plane optics (FFP) include the reticle before the magnification lens. This induces the reticle to increase in size based upon the extent of zoom being used. The outcome is that the reticle measurements are the same at the enhanced range as they are at the non magnified range. For instance, one tick on a mil-dot reticle at one hundred yards with no “zoom” is still the same tick at one hundred yards using 5x “zoom”. These kinds of scopes work for:
- Quick acquisition, far away types of shooting
- Shooting circumstances where estimations are minimal
- Experienced shooters who recognize their target “hold over” and “lead” ratios for their long guns
- Shooters who do not mind the reticle is bigger and takes up more visual sight area than a SFP reticle
Info About Second Focal Plane Glass
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 reticle measurement would be 1/5th of the non “zoom” tick reticle measurement.
- Far away styles of shooting where shooters have extra time to make ballistic calculations
- Shooting where most shots occur within shorter ranges and spaces
- Shooters who would like a clearer optic picture without space used up by the bigger FFP reticle
About Optic Zoom
The quantity of magnification 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 Rifle Optics
A single power rifle optic and scope uses 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 scope can not fluctuate because it is a fixed power optic.
Variable Power Lens Glass Details
Variable power rifle scopes have adjustable power. It will list the magnification amount in a configuration like 2-10×32. These numbers imply the magnification of the scope can be set between 2x and 10x power. This always includes the power levels in-between 2 and 10. The power adjustment is achieved by applying the power ring component of the scope near the rear of the scope by the eye bell.
The Power and Range Correlation of Rifle Optics
Here are some advised scope powers and the distances where they could be efficiently used. Remember that higher magnification scopes will not be as effective as lower magnification level optics and scopes since too much zoom can be a bad thing. The same idea applies to extended ranges where the shooter needs adequate power to see exactly where to best aim the rifle.
Lens Finishing for Rifle Optics
All present day rifle optic and scope lenses are coated. Lens coating is a crucial aspect of a rifle when looking at high end rifle optics and scope equipment.
About Rifle Scope Lens Coatings – HD Versus ED
Some scope producers likewise use “HD” or high-definition lens coatings which use various processes, elements, polarizations, and chemicals to draw out separate colors and viewable quality through the lens. Some scope producers use “HD” to refer to “ED” to signify the lens has extra-low dispersion glass.
Single Finishing Versus Multi-Coating for Rifle Glass
Different optic lenses can also have various coatings used to them. All lenses generally have at least some type of treatment or finishing used to them before being used in a rifle scope or optic.
This lens treatment can safeguard the lens from scratches while decreasing glare and other less beneficial things experienced in the shooting environment while sighting in with the scope. The quality of a single coated lens depends on the scope maker and how much you paid for it.
Some scope manufacturers also make it a point to define if their optic lenses are coated or “multi” coated. This indicates the lens has several treatments applied to the surfaces. If a lens receives multiple treatments, it can prove that a maker is taking several actions to combat various natural elements like an anti-glare finishing, a scratch resistant anti-abrasion finish, followed by a hydrophilic finishing. This also does not necessarily mean the multi-coated lens is better than a single covered lens. Being “much better” is dependent on the maker’s lens treatment technology and the quality of materials used in constructing the rifle glass.
What to Know About Anti-water Finishing
Water on a lens does not help with preserving a clear sight picture through a scope at all. Lots of top of the line and high-end scope makers will coat their lenses with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic finishing.
Alternatives for Mounting Rifle Optics on Long Guns
Installing solutions for scopes are available in a few choices. There are the basic scope rings which are individually mounted to the optic and one-piece mounts which cradle the scope. These various types of mounts also usually are made in quick release versions which use toss levers which allow rifle shooters to quickly install and remove the optics.
Rifle Glass Mounts with Hex Key Rings
Normal, clamp style mounting scope rings use hex head screws to mount to the flattop style Picatinny scope mount rails on rifles. These types of scope mounts use a couple of different rings to support the optic, and are made from 7075 T6 billet aluminum which are created for long distance precision shooting. This type of scope mount is excellent for rifles which require a durable, sound mount which will not move no matter how much the scope is moved or abused.
Quick-Release Cantilever Scope Ring Mounting Solutions
These types of quick-release rifle scope mounts can be used to rapidly connect and remove a scope from a rifle before reattaching it to a different rifle. Numerous scopes can even be switched out if they all use a similar design mount. These types of mounts come in handy for rifles which are carried a lot, to swap out the optic from the rifle for protection, or for optics which are used in between multiple rifles or are situationally focused.
Rifle Optic Tube Sealing and Gas Purging
Wetness inside your rifle optic can spoil a day on the range and your highly-priced optic by inducing fogging and generating residue within the scope tube. Many scopes prevent wetness from entering the optical tube with a system of sealing O-rings which are water resistant. Normally, these water resistant optics can be immersed underneath 20 or 30 feet of water before the water pressure can push moisture past the O-rings. This should be more than enough wetness avoidance for common use rifles for hunting and sporting purposes, unless you intend on taking your rifle on your motorboat and are worried about the scope still working if it is submerged in water and you can still rescue the firearm.
Gas Purged Glass Tubes
Another component of avoiding the buildup of moisture within the rifle scope’s tube is filling the tube with a gas like nitrogen. Given that this area is currently occupied by the gas, the glass is less impacted by climate alterations and pressure variations from the outside environment which may potentially permit water vapor to leak in around the seals to fill the vacuum which would otherwise exist. These are good qualities of a decent rifle scope to seek out.
