Tasco QP22 Electronic Open Reflex Sight

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Tasco electronic open reflex sight. Designed with a unique rheostat that features 7 positive detents for a full range of light intensities, and a choice of 3 different electronically selectable reticle patterns, this is a state-of-the-art scope designed for hunting, plinking, and target shooting with pistols, rifles, shotguns, and bows.

Engineered for greater speed and accuracy, this scope allows you to unconsciously concentrate on the reticle, thus increasing accuracy. Tasco's electronic illuminated reticle has been pre-focused so the point of aim always appears against the target. By comparison, standard rifle or pistol scopes bring the target into focus only on the internal reticle.

Its aiming system is engineered to be the brightest of its kind. All in all, this scope is proof positive that Tasco is positioned squarely on the leading edge of advanced technology.

Mounting Your Electronic Sight

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. Ensure they are properly installed and securely fastened according to the manufacturer's instructions for your safety. There is no set eye relief for this sight; therefore, provide at least three inches of clearance between the end of the sight and your eye when in the shooting position.
2. Set the clamps onto the base or bases so that they align with the crosscut grooves. Work each clampscrew 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.

Installing the Battery

Your new Tasco electronic sight is powered by one 3V "coin-style" lithium battery, Type 2032. Should your reticle grow dim or not light at all, you will need to replace the battery.

To install a new battery, unscrew the battery cover and insert the battery with the "+" side up. Replace the battery cover.

Zeroing Your Electronic Sight

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 intensity dial (Parts Guide, "B") off of the "0" position in either direction. Higher numbers represent brighter illumination settings. Line up the "0" setting with the index dot to turn off the sight and extend battery life when you will not be using the sight for any extended period of time. Use the pattern select control ("E") to choose your preferred reticle pattern from the 4 options: 5 moa Dot, Crosshair, Circle Post, or Circle Dot.
2. 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. Use the small allen wrench to loosen the adjustment lock nut ("H"). Sight through your electronic sight and turn the windage ("C") and elevation adjustments ("D"), using the supplied large allen wrench, to align the lighted reticle with the target as seen along the barrel. Each click of adjustment moves the point of impact by 1/2" at 100 yards, 1/4" at 50 yards, and 1/8" at 25 yards.
