Focusing
1. Hold the scope about 3 to 4 inches (8 to 12cm) away from you
eye and look through the eyepiece until you see the full
field of view.
2. If image isn’t sharp first adjust the parallax until image is clear.
After image is clear if reticle is blurry then adjust the eyepiece
focus until both the reticle and image is clear.
Mounting
1. Make sure you have the appropriate rail for your rifle, if not your
firearms dealer will assist you.
2. Place and secure the scope onto the mount ring. (Not Included).
Once you have fitted the scope to your desired position, tighten
the mount ring down onto the rail.
Pre-Zeroing
1. Pre-zeroing sighting can be done with scope guide or a bore
sight which can be obtained from your firearms dealer.
2. With scope mounted set zoom to mid power and rest the rifle on
a steady support.
3. Look through the bore from the breech at a target 50 yards away.
Move to butt stock so that the target is in
the center of the bore.
4. Without moving the rifle, turn the
windage and elevation adjustment dials
with fingers in the direction you wish the
bullet's point-of-impact to change.
(up/down, left/right)
Note: If a large amount of windage and elevation adjustments are
needed to bore sight, make half of the scales available adjustments
at a time for the windage and elevation.
Boresighting
Bore sighting your riflescope with you rifle will allow you to quickly
and more accurately "zero in" or "sight in" your riflescope to the
correct shooting distance. You will always need to shoot a test
group of shots after you bore sight your rifles to you rifle. Bore
sighting your riflescope will reduce wasting ammunition when
targeting in your rifle during test shooting.
Example: You have a newly mounted zoom power riflescope on a
rifle and aim at a target 100 yards away. You aim for the center of
the target with the scope and fire for the first time, but you see no
impact on the target in the view of the scope. If you were not able to
see where the bullet actually landed then you would need to guess
how you need to adjust the scopes windage and elevation on the
next shot. You would need to continue shooting multiple test shots
and adjusting the scope until the actual impact of the bullet comes
into view of the scope. This will waste time and ammunition.
Why does this happen? A newly mounted riflescope's actual zero
point on a rifle is unknown due to many variables; type of scope
base, height of mounting rings, type of rile, type of ammunition etc.
Zeroing
Set scope zoom to the max power, and adjust the windage and
elevation knobs as needed to correct the aim.
WARNING
BE CERTAIN THAT YOUR FIREARM IS NOT LOADED
AND POINTED AWAY FROM YOU IN A SAFE DIRECTION
DIRECTLY VIEWING THE SUN OR ANY LIGHT SOURCE WITH THIS
OPTICAL DEVICE CAN CAUSE PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE.
Use safe gun handling procedures at all times.
ATTENTION: All shooting should be done in an approved range
and in a safe area and that eye and ear protection is used
DANGER: If you used a bore sighting collimator or another bore
obstructing device, remove it before proceeding. If the barrel has
been drilled for a mount, ensure that the screws do not obstruct
the bore. Do not fire live or even blank ammunition with an
obstructed barrel as any obstruction can cause serious damage
to the gun and the possible injury to yourself and other people
around you.

After zeroing in your scope (point of impact matches the center of
scope sight.) You can follow Re-zeroing procedure to set turrets
back to zero.
Each click adjustment of the windage and elevation
changes/moves the bullet strikes by the amount in chart below
Re-Zeroing
Re-zeroing scale back to zero is optional and should only be done
after zeroing in your scope.
1. Use an allen wrench to gently loosen the screw to disconnect the
turret from the drum inside. DO NOT remove screw. Pull the turret
cap gently all the way up to disconnect it from the drum inside.
2. Turn the turret cap to reset the scale to zero.
3. Gently push the turret cap down to lock it in place. Use an allen
wrench to gently tighten the screw to connect the turret to the the
drum inside.
4. Your scale is now re-zeroed.
See reverse side for additional information
Illuminated Reticle
The black reticle illuminates to red for low light targeting or green for
daylight targeting. The adjustable reticle brightness for each color
offers variable lighting intensities. When replacing batteries use
CR2032 with the "+" side up.
MOA Reticle
MOA Reticle
The space between each hash mark is 2 MOA, 2” @ 100 yds.
The Moa measurements are accurate at 10x magnification.
MOA measurement is very effective for ranging. To use the MOA
Ranging formula, shooter needs to know the size of the target or
nearby objective in inches. MOA Ranging Formula
Target Size (Inches) x 95.5
Moa Measurements
Use either the vertical or horizontal MOA scale, place the reticle on
target of known dimensions and read the number of MOA. Accurate
MOA measurement reading will depend on how steady the scope is
held.
Note: Can multiply by 100 instead of 95.5 for quicker calculations, but
will be less accurate. Ex: Use Person: 65” Tall add into MOA scale
chart and do calculations.

Here are some suggestions, to increase your range estimation skills
- Build targets of known dimensions such as 1 yard squares and
number them so that the targets can be seen from a distance.
- Now place the targets at various ranges making sure that the
targets are visible from the start point.
- Return to the start point. With a notepad, number left side of the
pad with the number of targets you have put out.
- Look at the targets you have put out and determine the range with
the naked eye. Write down this figure on your note pad next to the
corresponding target number. This will help you develop your eye
skills and assist you in estimating range by optics.
- After your finished determining the range with the naked eye,
establish a stable shooting position with your unloaded rifle or mil
dot equipped spotting scope.
- Use the formula listed below to determine range. Using an
odometer or a measuring wheel determine the actual range to
the targets.
- Compare the actual range between using a measuring wheel,
naked eye and using mils.
Height of target (yards) X 1000 = Range (yards)
Height of target
Windage & Moving Targets
It is possible for you to use your scope for calling wind, will help you
develop the skills for using your scope. By practicing and attending
competitions, even as an observer, will help you develop the skills
for using your scope. Watching and asking experienced shooters
with the wind, and moving objects, will help you become stronger at
using the for windage & moving targets.
This skill is extremely difficult, as well as difficult to train. However, if
you have the means of making a moving target in an area where
you can train you should do so at every opportunity.
Here are some suggestions on moving targets
- Start with slow speeds and then build speed as skill increases. Do
not increase target speed until you can hit them 90% or better all
of the time.
- Use a target size that at a minimum replicates the kill zone of your
intended target. In the beginning, a larger target should be used to
show hits to allow you to adjust your leads/actions.
- Begin training at close ranges, (50yards) and increase as your
skills increase.
- You should use a partner slightly behind your shoulder with a
spotting scope and looking for a bullet trace and provide you with
the feedback as to where the bullet is landing
