(4) Adjustment and Zero setting 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 as follows:

• If the bullet hits under the aiming point, turn the elevation adjustment (counter-clockwise) in the

direction of the arrow marked “U” for up as in Fig. 3-6. If the bullet hits high, turn adjustment
(clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “D” for down.

• If the bullet hits to the right of the aiming point, turn the windage adjustment (clockwise) in the

direction of the arrow marked “L” for left as in Fig. 3-7. If the bullet hits to the left of the aiming point,
turn adjustment (counter-clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “R” for right.

• After the reticle has been adjusted to the point of impacts, with the grip held with your fingers to avoid

shifting of the aligned grip, turn the grip screw in top of the grip counterclockwise with coin. Then lift
the grip up and align the “ ” with the index mark. It may happen that the “ ” could not align with the
index mark exactly because of the coupling pitch of the grip with the shaft. And by securing the grip
with your fingers to avoid shifting of the grip, turn the grip screw clockwise with the coin until the grip
is firmly secured. (Fig. 3-8)


Note:
• The windage and elevation scales of the Nikon Monarch Gold (E) 2.5-10x50 SF, 2.5-10x56 SF, 1.5-6x42

and 1.1-4x24 are calibrated in division of 1/4 minute of angle with a click at intervals of 1/4 minute of
angle (one 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) Parallax Setting, you should adjust two minutes of angle
up one minute of angle left. In case of 50 yards (45.72 m). Parallax Setting the adjusting value is double.
In case of 75 yards (68.58 m) Parallax Setting is 1.5 times.
