Мантаж прыцэла
Proper mounting is crucial for accuracy and consistent performance. Ensure the riflescope is securely mounted to your firearm using appropriate rings and bases. Consult a qualified gunsmith if you are unsure about the mounting process.
Focusing the Reticle (Fast Focus Eyepiece)
- Hold the riflescope about 3-4 inches from your eye.
- Look through the riflescope at a plain, bright background (like a wall or clear sky).
- Rotate the fast-focus eyepiece (located at the rear of the ocular lens) clockwise or counter-clockwise until the reticle appears sharp and crisp.
- Avoid staring at the reticle for too long, as your eye will naturally compensate for slight out-of-focus conditions. A quick glance is best.
Рэгуляванне павелічэння
The magnification adjustment ring is located forward of the fast-focus eyepiece. Rotate this ring to increase or decrease the magnification. The 1.5-5x32 Scout model offers a magnification range from 1.5x to 5x.
Кантроль асвятлення
Your riflescope features an illuminated reticle. The illumination control knob is located on the left side of the riflescope, opposite the windage turret. Rotate the knob to turn the illumination on/off and adjust the brightness settings. Intermediate "off" positions are present between each brightness level. For a visual demonstration, please refer to the official product overview video in the "Official Product Overview Video" section.

Zeroing the Riflescope (Elevation and Windage Turrets)
The elevation and windage turrets are used to adjust the point of impact. Each click of the turret moves the point of impact by a specific MOA value. The Crossfire HD riflescopes feature capped turrets to prevent accidental adjustments. For a visual demonstration of turret adjustments, please refer to the official product overview video in the "Official Product Overview Video" section.
- Ensure your riflescope is securely mounted.
- Fire a group of shots at your desired zeroing distance.
- Звярніце ўвагу на кропку траплення адносна кропкі прыцэльвання.
- Зніміце вежавыя каўпакі.
- Adjust the elevation and windage turrets as needed. Turn the turret in the direction you want the bullet to move on the target. For example, if your shots are hitting low, turn the elevation turret counter-clockwise (UP).
- Replace the turret caps after zeroing.
Understanding the Illuminated Dead-Hold 2A BDC (MOA) Reticle
The Illuminated Dead-Hold 2A BDC reticle provides holdover and windage reference points, allowing for quick adjustments without dialing turrets. The illuminated center dot enhances visibility in low-light conditions.
