3. Reticle: In simple terms, the aiming device around which the scope is built. This element replaces the iron sight system
of non-scoped rifles.
4. Ocular or Eye Lens: This element provides the secondary and final magnification of the image.
MOUNTING YOUR SCOPE
Your new scope, even with its technologically advanced design and features, will not perform at its best if not properly
mounted. One of the most important contributing factors to the accuracy of your scope and rifle is the selection of the
mount and the care with which mounting is done. Dependable mounts that attach your scope solidly to the rifle will reward
you with dependability and consistent accuracy. You should take as much care in selecting a mounting system as you did
in selecting your scope.
Remember, not all scopes are compatible with all mounts on all rifles. If there is any doubt in your mind, you should seek
the advice of your local retailer or gunsmith.
WARNING: A RIFLESCOPE SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR EITHER A BINOCULAR OR
SPOTTING SCOPE. IT MAY RESULT IN YOU INADVERTENTLY POINTING THE GUN AT ANOTHER PERSON.
PRELIMINARY SCOPE ADJUSTMENTS
Before installing the scope, we recommend you set the focus of the eyepiece to fit your individual visual requirement.
Refocusing the ocular distance will result in a sharper reticle focus, an improved optical image, and will help to avoid eye
fatigue when using the scope over prolonged periods of time. To refocus, hold the scope about 3 to 4 inches from your
eye and point at the open sky or other flatly lit area such as a monotone painted wall.
Quickly glance into the scope. If the reticle appears blurred at first glance, it is out of focus. Turn the eyepiece clockwise
or counter clockwise several turns. Glance into the scope again to check the sharpness of the reticle. Remember to take
quick glances, as the eye will compensate for slightly out of focus conditions with prolonged looks. If the reticle still appears
blurred, turn the eyepiece another two or three turns. Repeat this procedure until the reticle is sharp and clearly defined.
Unless your eyes undergo a significant change over the years, you will not have to make this adjustment again.
