AIM Means Minimal Maintenance
AIM scope lenses are coated to reduce light reflections and
light scattering, thus increasing light transmission through the
scope. They should be cleaned as carefully as you would a
camera lens. Begin by using a lens brush to remove dust and
then pure alcohol, high-grade glass cleaner or pure water on a
cotton swab.
WINDAGE/ ELEVATION ADJUSTMENTS
These adjustments are permanently lubricated. There is no
need to lubricate them. Keep the turret caps on, except when
adjusting, to keep out dust and dirt. (It’s worth noting that, unlike
competitive brands, AIM scopes are waterproof even without the
caps in place.)
EYEPIECE ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment is permanently lubricated. There is no need to
lubricate it. The eyepiece can be rotated as far as it will go in
either direction. It will not detach from the scope as there is an
internal lock ring.
ESTABLISHING EYE RELIEF ON HANDGUN SCOPES
Since handguns are typically fired from an arms-extended
position, eye relief is less of a safety issue than with riflescopes.
However, it’s still important to get the eye relief right for you.
1. Holding the handgun in your normal shooting stance, position
the scope in the rings to achieve a full field of view.
2. Proceed to COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION.
The eye relief of handgun scopes is more forgiving than
that of riflescopes. Nevertheless, it is Important that the
eye relief is compatible with Your shooting style.
