Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this fine scope! We hope you are as pleased with it as
other customers have been. This document has been written by one of those very satisfied
customers in hopes that it will ease your path to very beneficial use of your scope. I
purchased mine for a spring powered air rifle to be used principally for Bench Rest
competition. So there will be some bias in my remarks and instructions. I also will
occasionally be doing some Field Target shooting and the necessities of that will
occasionally be mentioned. To help all our customers the following instructions assume
you have never done this before and need full instructions. One other point: as the AEON
scopes were developed by and for pellet gun shooters all the below instructions are pointed
at them. If you have purchased your AEON scope for a firearm congratulations on your
inventive thinking and please adjust the yardage distances for your particular weapon.
Mounting your AEON Scope
The first task in mounting your AEON scope is to mount your scope rings on your rifle
positioning them so that they will only touch the narrowest portion of the tube. They must
not touch the “bell” portion of the tube at the front that expands to the Objective lens (the
front lens). They must not touch the expansion to the center part of the tube where the
controls are. Lastly, they must not touch the expansion that leads to the eyepiece at the
back of the scope. If you have shallow holes in the top of your rifle’s receiver that are used
hold the scope rings in place from recoil of the rifle, I would strenuously advise you to get
rings that have the necessary screw in the rear ring and use it. Usually you will have some
playing room along the top of the rifle so that you can move the rings back and forth; I did
on my rifle.
Next, mount the scope to the rings and do not tighten. Now slide the rings and scope back
and forth until the scope picture feels right for you. If you have a spring powered rifle and
need to use a hole in the top of the receiver then adjust for that as well. When you have
done that make sure that you will have no trouble loading the rifle. (This can become a
serious issue with a spring powered rifle with an under lever cocking mechanism.) Most
modern rings tighten with an Allen wrench which is a lever so be careful. First, tighten the
rings to the receiver snugly. Before tightening the scope in place you need to securely
support the rifle so that the barrel is horizontal and the butt of the stock is vertical from
side to side. When you have done that take a level in front of the scope, set it up level, and
then make the horizontal lines of the reticle parallel to the bottom of the level. If this is a
problem you can also use a plumb line and check against the vertical lines of the reticle.
Now tighten, again carefully and be sure that you proceed carefully. Tighten each screw
little bit and proceed to other screws so that no particular screw is much tighter than any
other. Tighten so that the spaces on between the top and bottom parts of all rings are
