Riflescope Adjustments
Vortex Diamondback series riflescopes use the exclusive
Fast Focus ring to get a clear and sharp reticle image.
To focus the reticle, begin by allowing your eyes to focus on a
distant object for several moments—not looking through the
scope. Then, hold the scope up to the sky and quickly look
through it. Never look directly into the sun! Pay attention to the
sharpness of the reticle, and adjust the eyepiece focus until it is
as sharp as possible. The reticle image should be crisp and sharp
immediately when you look. Since your eyesight may change over
time, it’s a good idea to periodically re-check this adjustment.
Rifl escopes are not intended for looking at the sun or any other intense light
source. Such use could damage the retina and cornea of your eyes—even to the
point of causing blindness.
Caution!
1. Reticle Focusing 2. Windage and Elevation Adjustment
After sight-in, you can re-align the zero marks on the dials with
the reference dots if you wish (see page 15). Replace covers when
done.
Vortex Diamondback riflescopes incorporate adjustable elevation
and windage dials with audible clicks. Each audible click moves the
bullet’s point-of-impact a fraction of a minute of angle (MOA).
• 1/4 MOA closely corresponds to 1/4 inch at 100 yards, 1/2 inch
at 200 yards, 3/4 inch at 300 yards...taking four (4) clicks to move
the bullet’s point-of-impact one inch at 100 yards.
Begin adjusting the windage and elevation settings by first
removing the covers. Then, move the dials in the direction
you wish the bullet’s point-of-impact to change. To make the
adjustments, turn the adjustment dial in the appropriate direction
(up/down or left/right) as indicated by the arrows.
