Proper mounting is crucial for optimal performance. We highly recommend using an inch/pound torque screwdriver for mounting. DO NOT exceed 18 inch/pounds of torque on the ring's screws pou anpeche domaj.

3.2 Enstalasyon batri

The illuminated reticle requires a CR2032 battery. The battery housing is located on the left side of the optic. Carefully unscrew the cap, insert the CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing outwards, and secure the cap.

3.3 Fast Focus Eyepiece Adjustment

To ensure a sharp reticle image, look through the eyepiece at a plain, bright background (like a wall or clear sky). Rotate the fast focus eyepiece (located at the rear of the scope) clockwise or counter-clockwise until the reticle appears crisp and sharp. This adjustment is personal and should be set before zeroing.

4.1 Ajisteman Agrandisman

Rotate the magnification adjustment ring to select your desired magnification level between 1x and 6x. The ring may feel stiff initially but will loosen with use. A throw lever (not included) can assist with quicker adjustments.

4.2 Illumination Control

The illumination dial on the left side of the riflescope controls the brightness of the VMR-2 (MOA) reticle. It offers 10 intensity levels. To turn off the illumination, rotate the dial to any of the 'off' positions located between each numbered setting. This allows for quick activation to a preferred brightness level without cycling through all settings.

The RZR zero stop feature ensures accurate returns to your established zero after making temporary adjustments for bullet drop or wind compensation.

The VMR-2 (MOA) reticle provides highly functional, intuitive, and detailed hold points while remaining uncluttered for optimal viewing. It is a second focal plane reticle, meaning its size remains constant regardless of magnification, while the subtensions change relative to the target size.
