This image illustrates the Fine Cross Hair reticle with a dual illuminated center dot, designed for precise aiming in various lighting conditions. The illumination can be adjusted for visibility.

Setup

1. Mounting the Riflescope

Ensure your rifle is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Select appropriate mounting rings that match your rifle's rail system (e.g., Weaver Mount) and the scope's tube diameter. Securely attach the bottom halves of the rings to the rifle's rail, ensuring proper spacing for the scope. Place the riflescope into the bottom rings, ensuring the reticle is level and the eye relief is comfortable for your shooting position. Attach the top halves of the rings and tighten the screws evenly, following the manufacturer's torque specifications for the rings to prevent damage to the scope tube.

2. Adjusting Eye Relief

With the scope mounted, shoulder the rifle in your natural shooting position. Slide the scope forward or backward within the rings until you achieve a full, clear field of view without any dark crescent shadows (vignetting) around the edges. This is your optimal eye relief. Once set, ensure the rings are fully tightened.

3. Diopter Adjustment

Point the scope at a plain, bright background (like the sky or a wall). Quickly glance through the scope at the reticle. If the reticle appears blurry, rotate the diopter adjustment ring (located on the eyepiece) until the reticle is sharp and clear. Avoid staring through the scope for too long during this adjustment, as your eye may compensate for blurriness.

Operating Instructions

1. Magnification Adjustment

The magnification ring is located near the eyepiece. Rotate this ring to increase or decrease the magnification. The numbers on the ring indicate the current magnification setting (e.g., 6x, 24x).

2. Parallax Adjustment

Parallax is the apparent movement of the reticle in relation to the target when your eye moves off-center from the optical axis. This scope features a side parallax adjustment knob. To adjust, look through the scope and rotate the parallax knob until the target and reticle appear to be in the same focal plane and there is no apparent movement when you slightly move your head. The knob may have distance markings to assist in setting.

3. Reticle Illumination

The illumination control for the reticle is typically located on the side of the scope's main tube. Rotate this knob to turn the illumination on/off and adjust its brightness. This model features dual illumination (red and blue) for optimal visibility in varying light conditions. Select the color and brightness that provides the best contrast against your target without causing glare.

4. Windage and Elevation Adjustment (Zeroing)

The windage (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) adjustment turrets are located on the top and side of the scope. These turrets allow you to adjust the point of impact. Each click of the turret moves the point of impact by a specified amount (e.g., 1/4 MOA at 100 yards). To zero your rifle, fire a group of shots at a target, then adjust the turrets to move the point of impact towards the center of the target. Some turrets may feature a zero-reset function, allowing you to set your current zero as the new '0' mark after initial sighting in.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning Lenses

Use a soft lens brush to remove any loose dust or debris. For smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaning fluid to a clean microfiber cloth and gently wipe the lens surface in a circular motion. Avoid using abrasive materials or excessive pressure, which can scratch the coatings.

2. Cleaning Body

Wipe the exterior of the riflescope with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt or grime. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and then drying thoroughly. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.

3. Storage

Store the riflescope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, consider using a desiccant packet to absorb moisture. Keep lens caps on to protect the lenses from dust and scratches.

Troubleshooting

• Blurry Image:

  Check the diopter adjustment on the eyepiece. Ensure the parallax adjustment is set correctly for your target distance. Clean the objective and eyepiece lenses.

• Reticle Not Illuminating:

  Verify the illumination knob is turned on and set to a visible brightness level. Check and replace the battery if necessary. Ensure the battery is inserted with correct polarity.

• Zero Shift/Inconsistent Point of Impact:

  Ensure the scope is securely mounted and all rings/mount screws are tightened to the recommended torque. Check for any loose components on the rifle or scope. If the issue persists, professional inspection may be required.

• Fogging Inside Lenses:

  This indicates a seal breach. Contact Konus customer support for assistance. Do not attempt to disassemble the scope yourself.
