For distances shorter than 100 m, we recommend using a lower
magnification to avoid the problem of focusing the image and ret-
icle at the same time. To increase the magnification factor, turn
the magnification changer anticlockwise. To decrease the magni-
fication, turn it clockwise.
WINDAGE AND ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT
The windage and elevation adjustment for precise adjustment
of the reticle is located under the protective caps. The reticle
adjustments are calibrated so that one click corresponds to one
centimetre/100 metres (1 click=1 cm/100 m). The windage adjust-
ment is placed on the right side of the scope, the elevation ad-
justment on top. To move the aimpoint upwards turn clockwise,
marked "UP", to move it downwards, turn anticlockwise. Windage
is adjusted in the same way. The individual clicks can be heard
and felt.
SETTING THE INDEX RING TO 0 AFTER SUCCESS-
FULLY ZEROING IN
To do this, loosen the two screws on the cover of the adjustment
knobs using the 1.5 mm Allen key
supplied. After loosening the cov-
er, the index ring can be turned to
0. Then the two Allen screws can
be retightened. Please
make absolutely sure that the
index ring is not readjusted dur-
ing this procedure. The easiest
way to prevent this is to hold the
cover firmly as well. If necessary,
follow the same procedure for
both the elevation and windage
adjustment turret.

STEINER ZEROMODE
To be able to provide the perfect riflescope even for challeng-
ing conditions, we have integrated Steiner ZeroMode technology
into our Ranger6 riflescope for long-distance shots. The shoot-
er can now use the elevation adjustment for further shots and
adjust the ballistic curve perfectly (determined according to
the ballistic data from the ammunition). After adjustment, the
vertical adjustment turret can always be reliably turned back to
its initial position. This is limited by a stop and so it cannot be
overtightened.
ILLUMINATION CONTROL
The Ranger6 riflescopes have a finely adjustable illuminated red
dot. From the starting point (see illustration) 6 night settings
are available, direction of rotation: clockwise. For use during
the day, you can choose between 5 settings with an extremely
bright illuminated dot, direction of rotation: anticlockwise. The
end position "Off", as well as the intermediate positions "Day"
and "Night", are unpowered. Reticle illumination is powered by a
3 volt CR 2032 battery. It is located in the illumination knob and
is accessible by unscrewing the
cover. To insert a new battery,
unscrew the battery compart-
ment on the left side. Press the
battery on one side to lift it up
and remove it. Insert a new bat-
tery with the flat side (+) facing
up. If you will not be using the
riflescope for an extended pe-
riod of time, it is recommended
you remove the battery.
PARALLAX ADJUSTMENT
All scopes are adjusted parallax-free to 100 m. The Ranger
3-18x56 riflescope has a parallax compensation from 50m to
infinity. Parallax describes the
visible movement of the cross-
hairs in relation to the target
when the eye is not looking di-
rectly along the central axis of
the riflescope. Parallax is only
necessary for telescopic sights
with higher magnification. To
compensate for parallax, set
the adjustment ring on the left

Please make yourself aware of the local regulations for the
disposal of electronic products. Never throw batteries into
the household waste.
