roughly equal. Go back and forth from front to back and vice versa. Proceed slowly and
keep checking against the level.
The next task is to focus the eyepiece. To do this, I use a technique I found online. This
process makes a lot of sense to me because I have studied vision to some extent. Do this
outside where you need two things: something you can see at least 60 yards away and a
blank space that is all one color. Aim your AEON scope at the space and defocus it so you
see nothing but a single, blurry picture. It helps if you have a sand bag or something that
you stably put your rifle on for this whole process. If you must wear glasses then use the
ones you intend to shoot with. (In fact, if you change those glasses in the future then redo
this process.) Now, look up at your 60 yard object and keep looking at it until you are
completely focused in on it. This can take up to 30 seconds. When you are focused at 60
yards then look through the eyepiece and focus it as quickly as possible. This first time
will get you fairly close but you are not there yet. Now repeat the process until your quick
look through the eyepiece is as sharp as you can get it. The travel on the eyepiece focusing
function is just so much. For me, I am aware of the fact that no matter how good your eye
doctor is your glasses are only an approximation so, if you can get away without corrective
lenses, DO IT. In my case, I found that I could not focus the eyepiece for my right eye;
there wasn’t enough travel; it looked like I would have to wear my corrective lens. However,
I had an alternative. Years ago I learned to shoot a shotgun left handed because I have a
left master eye that also sees much better than my right eye. So I made a decision: I could
easily focus the scope with my glasses on; or, I could use my still very good left eye. I
moved over and focused the AEON scope with my left eye. I now shoot the rifle left handed
because I consider the ability to see uncorrected is that important. (I do use uncorrected
safety glasses as you should too.) Once your scope is focused you need to sight it in. The
following procedure assumes that you are adding your AEON scope to a previously shot
rifle and that you have found the pellets that work best in your rifle. If this is not the case
you will need to do search out your rifle’s favorite pellet at some point in sighting in your
new AEON scope on your new rifle.
I would start the sighting in process by centering your controls. Each knob is printed with
15 major divisions numbered from 0 to 14. Each of these divisions is subdivided into 4
parts (the three small lines), each representing ¼ inch at 100 yards. This means that each
major division equals 1” at 100 yards. Take each control and turn it all the way in (down
and to the left). The nearby table contains information to help you with your centering
effort. Select your particular scope from the list and divide the number in the right column
by two. That number is the number of major divisions you need to go back on each control
to get to the center. If you have a scope sighting tool you should use it instead of the target
technique described in the next few sentences. But, please read the read and follow all the
rest of the instructions in this paragraph because you do need to find out how far from
center you move the scope controls when you are aligning the scope. If you are very fussy,
as I am, about accuracy then skip the rest of this paragraph and go to the next one. If not
