2. Zero Locking and Resetting Turrets
The scope features Zero Locking and Zero Resetting turrets for windage and elevation adjustments. After sighting in your scope, you can lock the turrets to prevent accidental changes to your zero. To reset the dial for easy reading without affecting your zero, follow the instructions below:
- Adjust windage and elevation until your rifle is sighted in.
- To lock the turret, push down on the turret cap.
- To reset the zero mark, pull up the turret cap, rotate it to align the "0" mark with the indicator, and then push the cap back down to lock it.

3. Parallax Adjustment
The Front Adjustable Objective (AO) allows for parallax correction from 10 yards to infinity. Rotate the objective lens ring until the target appears sharp and clear, and the reticle does not appear to move relative to the target when you shift your eye position slightly.

Operating the Scope
1. Magnification Adjustment
Rotate the magnification ring, located near the eyepiece, to adjust the power from 6x to 24x. Ensure a clear sight picture at your desired magnification.
2. EZ-TAP Illumination System (36-Color Mil-Dot Reticle)
The EZ-TAP Illumination Enhancing (IE) System provides a versatile illuminated reticle for various lighting conditions. It features both Red/Green dual-color mode and a 36-color mode.

Maintenance
- Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lens coatings.
- Cleaning Body: Wipe the scope body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the scope in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the included flip-open lens covers to protect the lenses when not in use.
- Battery Replacement: If the illumination dims or stops working, replace the battery in the EZ-TAP illumination module. Refer to the module for battery type and replacement instructions.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blurred image or reticle | Improper focus or parallax setting | Adjust the eyepiece focus and the Front Adjustable Objective (AO) for parallax. |
| Reticle illumination not working | Low or dead battery; illumination turned off | Check battery and replace if necessary. Ensure illumination is turned on using the EZ-TAP controls. |
| Point of impact shifts | Loose mounting rings; turrets not locked; scope damage | Check and tighten mounting rings. Ensure turrets are locked after zeroing. If problem persists, inspect for damage or contact support. |
| Fogging inside the scope | Seal compromise (unlikely for nitrogen-filled scopes) | If internal fogging occurs, contact customer support as the nitrogen seal may be compromised. External fogging can be wiped away. |
