4. Усталёўка і мантаж

Proper mounting is crucial for the accuracy and performance of your rifle scope. Always ensure your firearm is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction before beginning any mounting procedures.

4.1 Усталёўка прыцэла

1. Падрыхтуйце мацаванне: Ensure your Picatinny or Weaver rail is clean and free of debris.
2. Прымацаваць кольцы: Loosely attach the provided 21mm mounting rings to your firearm's rail. Do not fully tighten them yet.
3. Position the Scope: Place the rifle scope into the lower halves of the mounting rings. Ensure the reticle is level and the scope is positioned to achieve optimal eye relief (approximately 95mm from your eye to the ocular lens) when shouldering the firearm.
4. Secure Top Rings: Place the top halves of the mounting rings over the scope and loosely secure the screws.
5. Выраўняйце прыцэльную сетку: Use a reticle leveling tool or a plumb bob to ensure the reticle is perfectly level with the firearm. This is critical for accurate windage and elevation adjustments.
6. Зацягніце шрубы: Gradually tighten the ring screws in an alternating pattern (e.g., cross-pattern) to ensure even pressure. Refer to the mounting ring manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Не зацягвайце занадта моцна, as this can damage the scope tube.
7. Праверка бяспекі: Once tightened, gently attempt to rotate the scope within the rings to ensure it is securely mounted and will not shift under recoil.

4.2 Рэгуляванне дыёптрый

The diopter adjustment allows you to fine-tune the focus of the reticle to your individual eye. This ensures the reticle appears sharp and clear, regardless of your vision.

1. Накіруйце тэлескоп на роўны, светлы фон (напрыклад, чыстае неба або пустую сцяну).
2. Паглядзіце праз прыцэл і хутка адвядзіце позірк.
3. While quickly glancing back, adjust the diopter ring on the ocular lens until the reticle appears perfectly sharp and in focus. Avoid staring through the scope for too long, as your eye's natural accommodation can compensate for minor blur.
4. Once adjusted, the reticle should remain sharp for your eye.

5. Operating the Rifle Scope

5.1 Рэгуляванне павелічэння

The Orion Pro Max features a 3-18x magnification range. Rotate the magnification ring located on the ocular end of the scope to adjust the power. The numbers on the ring indicate the current magnification setting.

5.2 Карэкціроўка па ветравой напрамку і вышыні

The scope features precise 1/4 MOA click adjustments for both windage (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) corrections. The elevation turret includes a Zero-Stop system, and the windage turret has a locking mechanism.

• Elevation Turret (Top): To adjust elevation, pull the turret upwards to unlock it. Rotate the turret to make adjustments. Each click represents 1/4 MOA. Push the turret down to engage the Zero-Stop and lock the setting.
• Windage Turret (Right Side): To adjust windage, pull the turret outwards to unlock it. Rotate the turret to make adjustments. Each click represents 1/4 MOA. Push the turret inwards to lock the setting.

The total adjustment range is 100 MOA for elevation and 60 MOA for windage.

5.3 Parallax Adjustment

The parallax adjustment knob is located on the left side of the scope. Parallax is the apparent shift in the reticle's position relative to the target when you move your eye. Adjusting parallax eliminates this shift, ensuring the reticle and target are on the same focal plane.

• Rotate the parallax knob until the target appears sharp and clear, and there is no apparent movement of the reticle when you slightly move your head.
• The parallax adjustment range is from 9.14 meters (10 yards) to infinity.

5.4 Падсвятленне сеткі прыцэла

The AVANT 5 MOA reticle features 6 levels of red illumination. The illumination control is integrated with the parallax knob on the left side of the scope.

• Rotate the outer ring of the parallax knob to turn on the illumination and select the desired brightness level.
• Rotate it back to the "off" position to conserve battery life.
