3. Instructions
(1) Focusing
Look through the eyepiece with your eye positioned about 10cm (4 in) away
from the eyepiece lens (Fig. 3-1), and you will see the Nikoplex reticle (Fig. 3-2),
or the BDC250 reticle (Fig. 3-3).
Be sure your eye is positioned within proper alignment and proper eye relief
otherwise the view will “black out”.
Point the objective end of the scope at the sky (Do not point at the sun) or at a
plain unpatterned wall.
Turn the eyepiece adjustment counter-clockwise and then turn it clockwise until
the reticle appears sharp.
(2) Magnification
The OMEGA Riflescope 3-9x40 has a variable magnification for 3 to 9X.
To change powers, just rotate the power selector ring until the desired
magnification appears adjacent to the power index dot (Fig. 1-1).
(3) Adjustment of the riflescope
Sighting through the riflescope, align the rifle with your aiming point on the
target and shoot a trial round. If the bullet does not hit the aiming point, adjust
the elevation and windage after removing the Adjustment cap, as follows:
For the OMEGA Riflescope adjustment is made by turning the grip by hand. If
the bullet hits under the aiming point, turn the grip in the direction of the arrow
marked “U” (Fig. 3-4). If the bullet hits to the left of the aiming point, turn the grip
in the direction of the arrow marked “R” (Fig. 3-4).
Note:
• The windage and elevation scales of the OMEGA Riflescope 3-9x40 are
calibrated in divisions of
minute of angle with a click at intervals of
minute
of angle (half division).
• When adjusting the reticle to the point of aim, remember that one minute of
angle equals approximately one inch (2.54 cm) at 100 yards (91.44 m).
Therefore, if the impact point is two inches (5.08 cm) low and one inch (2.54 cm)
right at 100 yards (91.44 m), you should adjust two minutes of angle up one
minute of angle left.
