Tasco ProPoint Illuminated Optical Sight

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your Tasco ProPoint® illuminated optical sight. Designed with a unique rheostat that features positive detents for a full range of light intensities, ProPoint is a state-of-the-art scope engineered especially for competitive shooting.

Engineered for greater speed and accuracy, Tasco ProPoint allows you to concentrate on the reticle, thus increasing accuracy. ProPoint's illuminated reticle has been pre-focused so the aiming point always appears against the target. By comparison, open sights force you to focus on the rear sight, front sight and target at the same time.

Mounting Your ProPoint Scope

CAUTION: BE SURE GUN IS NOT LOADED. USE SAFE GUN HANDLING PROCEDURES AT ALL TIMES.

Your ProPoint includes matching rings that fit standard, dovetailed bases or integral mounts using a standard Weaver base.

If you wish to expand the applications of your ProPoint to include rifles or shotguns and find that the rings are too far apart, you can use an extension tube (if included) for adapting your ProPoint sighting device to a riflescope or shotgun. Remove the trim ring and screw the extension onto the exposed thread at the front of the scope.

1. The base or bases should be manufactured specifically for your pistol, rifle or shotgun and should create a uniform horizontal and vertical mounting platform. Be sure they are properly installed and securely fastened according to the manufacturer's instructions for your safety. There is no set eye relief for your ProPoint; therefore, you should provide at least three inches of clearance between the eyebell and your eye when in the shooting position.
2. Set the rings onto the base or bases so that they align with the crosscut grooves. Work each ring into the base until the crossbolt seats into the groove. Securely tighten each locking nut with a coin or screwdriver. For additional holding power, add a drop of thread-locking compound to the center of each locking nut.
3. If your scope does not have integral mounts, separate upper and lower ring halves using the included hex wrench to remove the two screws in each ring.
4. Place the scope in the cradle formed by the lower ring halves. Replace upper ring halves and lightly tighten screws.
5. Rotate the scope in the rings so that the elevation adjustment is on top. However, as a personal preference, the scope can be rotated so that the elevation adjustment is on the side (and the windage adjustment is on top). In this case the "up" indicator will now be the “R” or right indicator, and the “R” will become the “Up” indicator.

Installing Batteries

CAUTION: BE SURE GUN IS NOT LOADED WHEN INSTALLING BATTERIES.

Should your reticle grow dim or not light at all, you will need to replace the battery/batteries (see "Lithium Battery Reference Chart" for the type and quantity of battery). To install new battery(ies), unscrew the battery compartment and insert with "+" side up. Replace battery cover.

Zeroing Your ProPoint

Note: THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE DONE AT AN APPROVED RANGE OR OTHER SAFE AREA. EYE AND EAR PROTECTION IS RECOMMENDED.

1. Activate the illuminated reticle by turning the rheostat knob clockwise to brighten and counterclockwise to dim. The "1" represents the dimmest and the "11" the brightest illuminations.
2. Remove the windage and elevation adjustment caps.
3. With the scope mounted, rest the gun on a solid support. Sight along the barrel and aim at a target 50 to 100 yards away. Sight through your ProPoint and use the windage and elevation adjustments to align the lighted reticle with the target as seen along the barrel. Each click of adjustment moves the point of impact by the amount written on the adjustments.
4. Using the polarizing filter (if included): The polarizing filter may be used with or without the extension tube attached. It may be positioned on the objective end of the ProPoint or at the end of the extension tube. To attach filter directly to the objective end, remove the Trim Ring first.
5. Using the sunshade (if included): Under some lighting conditions, reflections may be noted in the eye lens. To reduce or eliminate reflections, thread the sunshade onto the eyebell. The sunshade may also be used to gain added space between front and rear rings if needed, when mounting on extra long action rifles. To use as an extension, first remove the rubberized eye guard from the eyebell, then thread the sunshade into position.
