Aufstellen

Montage des Zielfernrohrs

Securely mount the riflescope to your rifle using appropriate rings and bases. Ensure proper eye relief and alignment for comfortable and effective use. The scope is compatible with cantilever mounts.

Eyepiece Focus Adjustment

To ensure a sharp reticle image, adjust the eyepiece focus. Look through the scope at a plain, bright background (like a wall or the sky). Rotate the eyepiece adjustment ring until the reticle appears crisp and clear. This adjustment is crucial for preventing eye strain and ensuring accurate aiming.

Illumination Battery Installation

The illuminated reticle requires a battery. To install or replace the battery, unscrew the illumination control knob. Insert the battery with the positive (+) side facing outwards. Replace the cap, ensuring it is securely tightened to maintain waterproof performance. The illumination control offers 10 brightness settings with "off" positions between each setting.

Zeroing the Riflescope

After mounting, zero your riflescope at your desired distance. This involves adjusting the elevation and windage turrets to align your point of aim with your point of impact. The turrets feature 1/2 MOA clicks for precise adjustments. The Customizable Rotational Stop (CRS) system allows for a reliable return to your established zero.

Vergrößerungseinstellung

The magnification adjustment ring allows you to change the power from 1x to 4x. The ring has aggressive knurling for a secure grip and a short throw for quick adjustments. A fiber optic rod on top indicates the current magnification setting, visible even when behind the gun.

Reticle Details (TMCQ MOA)

The TMCQ (MOA) reticle is located in the second focal plane, meaning its apparent size remains constant regardless of the magnification setting. This allows for consistent subtensions for ranging, holdovers, and windage corrections. The reticle features a fine crosshair with hash marks for precise aiming, and an illuminated center dot for low-light visibility.

Wartung

Cleaning the Riflescope

The riflescope's smooth finish makes it easy to clean. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the exterior. For lenses, use a lens brush to remove dust, then a lens cloth with a specialized lens cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the coatings.

Allgemeine Pflege

Store the riflescope in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. When not in use, ensure lens caps are in place to protect the optics. Avoid dropping or subjecting the scope to severe impacts, although it is designed to be shockproof.

Fehlerbehebung

• Verschwommenes Bild: If the reticle or image appears blurry, first check and adjust the eyepiece focus. Ensure the eyepiece adjustment ring has not shifted due to recoil or accidental bumps.
• Beleuchtung funktioniert nicht: Check the battery. Ensure it is correctly installed with the positive (+) side facing out and that it has sufficient charge.
• Turret Adjustments Inconsistent: Verify that the turret caps are securely tightened. For zero stop issues, ensure the shims are correctly installed and not causing excessive pressure or misalignment.
