User manual MINOX 35 GT

[. . . ] Position the mounting base(s) on the receiver and tighten base screws evenly until each is firmly tightened or to the torque setting specified by the ring/base manufacturer. However, do not use a screw- locking product that will permanently bond the screws to the receiver. For Dovetail rings, use a ring wrench or wooden dowel to align and level the rings. Never use the scope to align the rings as damage to the scope may result. 3. [. . . ] Rotate the scope as necessary to position the elevation adjustment as centered at the top. Confirm the vertical reticle line is vertical to the rifle as misalignment can affect longrange accuracy. When the scope is properly positioned, tighten the ring screws evenly until each is firmly tightened or to the torque setting specified by the ring / base manufacturer. 12 Magnification Adjustment Never use your MINOX riflescope as a substitute for binoculars or to watch another person. To change the magnification of the target, adjust the Variable Power Ring located to the front of the eyepiece. You'll notice a firm resistance when adjusting the Variable Power Ring; this is by design. Parallax Adjustment 35 GT 4-20x50 only Parallax error ­ the aim on the scope seemingly changing as the position of your eye changes often occurring at higher magnifications ­ is created when the image of the target is not focused in the same plane as the reticle. If they are in the same plane, moving your eye up and down or side to side will not change the position of the reticle in relationship to the target. If they are not in the same plane, shifting your eye will cause the position of the reticle to move in relationship to the target image. This can result in inaccuracy, particularly at higher magnifications or over greater target distances. To correct this effect, MINOX has included a focusing objective lens (Parallax Control) on the 35 GT 4-20x50 scope. This allows you to manually adjust the scope for the shooting range, ensuring the target image and the reticle can remain focused in the same image plane. Be sure the reticle is in sharp focus prior to adjusting the Parallax Control. Measure or estimate the target distance and adjust the Parallax Control to the corresponding calibration (in yards). Also, many rifles will shoot one type of ammunition more accurately than another. 9) If items 1- 8 are ok, have a gunsmith check the following: - Warped stock or bedding - Erosion of barrel or chamber throat - Excessive trigger pull 17 Sighting-In Problems 1) To get on the target, bore-sight the rifle or shoot from close range. 2) Extreme elevation problems may require a metal shim under the front or back of the mounting base. 3) Extreme windage problems may require use of windage-adjustable rings to properly position the scope. Eye Relief Problems This problem is seldom encountered with a MINOX scope because of its precision design and manufacture. However, eye relief may be a problem if another individual is allowed to 18 use your rifle and scope. Also, extremely shortor long-action rifles, or rifles with unusual mounting placement, may require use of extension bases or rings to move the scope further backwards or forwards to achieve proper eye relief. Fogging Internal lens surface fogging is the result of seals being breached so that moisture enters the scope. If the seal has failed under normal use, MINOX will repair the scope under its MINOX Lifetime Total Coverage Warranty program. However, fogging is most commonly the result of scope disassembly, which is not covered by the MINOX warranty. With any internal fogging, return the scope to your authorized MINOX Dealer or the MINOX Service Center for repair.
