Setup
Mounting the Scope
Ensure the scope is securely mounted using the included UTG Max Strength Twist Lock Picatinny/Weaver Rings. Proper eye relief (3.2 inches) is crucial for safe and comfortable viewing. Position the scope so that you have a full, clear field of view when looking through the eyepiece.
Initial Adjustments
- Eyepiece Focus: Rotate the eyepiece until the reticle appears sharp and clear to your eye.
- Parallax Adjustment (SWAT): Use the Side Wheel Adjustable Turret (SWAT) to eliminate parallax, ensuring the reticle and target are on the same focal plane. This adjustment ranges from 10 yards to infinity. Turn the knob until the target image is sharp and the reticle does not appear to move relative to the target when you slightly move your head.
Zeroing Procedure
The scope features premium zero lockable and resettable target turrets. To zero, fire a group of shots at a known distance (e.g., 100 yards). Then, adjust the windage and elevation turrets (1/4 MOA per click) to bring the point of impact to the desired zero. Once zeroed, the turrets can be locked and reset to zero by pulling up the turret, rotating it to the '0' mark, and pushing it back down. This allows for quick and precise adjustments in the field without losing your original zero.
Operating
- Magnification Adjustment: Rotate the quick power selector ring located near the eyepiece to adjust magnification from 4X to 16X, suitable for various target distances.
- Illumination System (EZ-TAP): Activate the EZ-TAP Illumination Enhancing (IE) System by pressing the button on the side turret. Cycle through 36 different reticle colors and multiple brightness levels to find the optimal setting for your environment. The system also supports dual-color mode (red/green).
- Mil-dot Reticle Usage: The Mil-dot range estimating reticle assists in calculating distances to targets. Use the Mil-dot chart provided with your scope for detailed instructions on how to use the reticle for accurate range estimation.
- Target Turrets: The windage and elevation turrets provide precise 1/4 MOA per click adjustments. They are zero lockable and resettable, allowing you to return to your original zero quickly after making adjustments for different ranges or wind conditions.
Maintenance
- Lens Care: The Emerald Lens Coatings provide optimal light transmission. Clean lenses gently with the provided cleaning cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the coatings.
- Durability: The scope is built on a True Strength Platform and is completely sealed, nitrogen-filled, shockproof, fogproof, and rainproof, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments. No special maintenance is required for these features beyond general care.
- Battery Replacement: The EZ-TAP illumination system uses a CR2032 3V High Energy Lithium Battery. Replace the battery when illumination dims or fails. Ensure proper polarity when inserting the new battery.
- General Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the scope with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure all caps are securely fastened when storing the scope.
Troubleshooting
- Blurry Image/Reticle: Adjust the eyepiece focus until the reticle is sharp. Then, use the Side Wheel Adjustable Turret (SWAT) for parallax adjustment to bring the target into clear focus. Ensure proper eye relief.
- Reticle Not Illuminating: Check the CR2032 battery. Ensure it is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Verify the EZ-TAP system is turned on and brightness is adjusted.
- Inconsistent Point of Impact: Confirm scope rings are securely tightened to the rifle and the scope. Ensure turrets are locked after zeroing. Verify ammunition consistency and shooting technique.
- Fogging: While the scope is fogproof, extreme temperature changes can sometimes cause external condensation. Allow the scope to acclimate to the temperature or wipe away any external moisture.
