the reticle in the 2 nd Image plane
(Eyepiece Image plane)
if the magnification increases, then the reticle
remains the same size – the size of the image is
increased but not the size of the reticle. Even for
large magnifications only a little of the target is cove-
red. the reticle can only be used for estimating the
distance to a limited extent.
parallax
Your rifle scope is set to be parallax-free without
parallax turret at a target distance of 109 yds
(100 m) – or in the case of the 4a-300 (not available
in the USa), BrH (only available in the USa) and
BrX reticles at a target distance of 219 yds (200 m).
this means that at a distance of 109 yards (100 m)
and 219 yards (200 m) respectively, the image of the
object aimed at and the image of the reticle are in a
single plane.
Please take into consideration:
With shots at distances greater or less than 109 yards
(100 m) and 219 yards (200 m) respectively, take
care to position the eye carefully central to the scope.
this will prevent shifting of the impact point due to
parallax errors.
operation of the parallax turret
(depending on model)
Using the parallax tur-
ret, you can adjust the
optimum focus for every
target distance thus pre-
venting aiming errors due
to parallax.
a) Rapid Adjustment
the target distances are printed on the parallax turret
from 50 to ∞. turn the parallax turret until the index
point indicates the desired distance.
b) Precision adjustment
Set the magnification as high as possible and turn
the parallax turret until the image appears at its
sharpest. Now move the eye backwards and forwards
within the range of the exit pupil. if in the process
the reticle moves in relation to the image, correct
the distance setting until it is no longer possible to
discern any difference between the movement of the
reticle and the movement of the image.
maintenance and care
Lens-cleaning cloth
the special microfibre cloth can be used to clean
even the most sensitive glass surfaces. it is suitable
for objective lens, eyepieces and spectacles.
Please keep the microfiber cloth clean as dirt par-
ticles can damage the lens surface. if the cloth is
dirty, it may be washed in lukewarm soapy water and
allowed to dry naturally. Please use it exclusively for
cleaning lens surfaces.
Cleaning
We have designed all elements and surfaces to
require very little care.
to ensure the long-lasting optical brilliance of your
rifle scope, you should keep the glass surfaces free
from dirt, oil and grease. When cleaning the lenses,
first remove larger particles with an optical lens
brush. For subsequent thorough cleaning, breathe
lightly on the lens and clean with the cleaning cloth.
the metal parts are best cleaned with a soft, clean
cloth.
Storage
You should keep your rifle scope in a well-ventilated,
dry, dark place.
if the rifle scope is wet, it must be dried prior to
storage.
