RIFLESCOPE USER MANUAL AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Table of Content: 1. Congratulations on purchasing an Athlon Riflescope. Athlon is the ancient Greek word for “Prize” or “Medal.” We think that with the purchase of your Athlon product you have won the best “prize” on the market today. Great Quality while still being a great value. Mounting Your Athlon Riflescope a) Scope Dimensions b) Focusing the Scope c) Adjustment for Maximum Eye Relief 1.

facturer instructions supplied with the rings and mounting base. The purpose of the Fast Focus eyepiece is to focus the reticle in the scope to your eyes. For a fast focus eyepiece, just simply rotate the fast focus ring at the end of the eyepiece in either direction to get a perfect clear reticle while looking through the scope pointing at a flat plane surface. This is important to do prior to mounting. a) Focusing the Scope D2 D1 c) Adjust for Maximum Eye Relief i.
d) Bore Sighting The initial bore sighting of the scope can be at short range of 50 yards. This is easier than trying to bore sight at 100 yards and will get you on the paper at that distance, so to save time and money at the shooting range. We highly recommend using a bore sighter, but make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Set parallax side focus knob to the 100 yard position and variable-power scopes to highest power.
equals 1.047-inch (rounded down to one inch) at 100 yards, two inches at 200 yards and to ten inches at 1000 yards. 1/4 MOA per click takes four clicks to move point of impact one inch at 100 yards and 1/8 MOA per click takes eight clicks at 100 yards. MIL, which is short for Milliradian and another unit of angular measurement, is defined as 1/1000th of a radian (6.2832 radians in a circle) and 1 MIL equals to 3.438moas and 3.6 inches at 100 yards, 7.2 inches at 200 yards, and to 36 inches at 1000 yards.
does not visually change in size when you change the magnification. The advantage of an SFP reticle is that it always maintains the same ideal visual appearance. If your reticle style has subtentions that help you determine where to aim depending on distance from target and windage, it will have been engineered for only one particular magnification. That is highlighted on your Athlon scope with a green number on the magnification adjustment.
a) Scopes with Illuminated Reticles Talos BTR AHSR14 SFP IR MIL Reticle ATHLON offers variable brightness settings depending on your scope. The numbers on the knob indicate different brightness settings and the “Off” setting is indicated by a “0”. The illumination is powered by a lithium CR2032 3V battery. Remove the battery chamber cap by turning it counter-clockwise and then set the battery with the positive (+) side facing up. Reinstall the cap by turning it clockwise, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
3. Maintaining Your Riflescope: iii. It is recommended using the same type of ammunition with same weight. a) Disassembling or cleaning the scope internally will void the warranty. If the scope requires repairs, please refer to the warranty section for complete instructions. b) The external optical surfaces should occasionally be wiped clean. Use the lens cloth provided or an optical quality lens paper to wipe out dust or dirt on the external lens surface.

Table des matières: 1. Félicitations pour votre achat d’une lunette de visée Athlon. Athlon vient du grec ancien et signifie «Prix» ou «Médaille». Nous pensons qu’avec l’achat de votre Athlon vous avez obtenu le meilleur «prix» sur le marché aujourd’hui.

munitions. Une plus grande hauteur d’installation aura un effet sur le point d’impact de la balle. Installez votre lunette aussi bas que possible sans toucher le fusil ni bloquer son mécanisme d’actionnement. Fixez les bases et le bas des anneaux à votre fusil. Assurez-vous de bien suivre les consignes du fabricant fournies avec les anneaux et la base de fixation.
réticule reste droit. iv. Faites pivoter la lunette jusqu’à ce que le cadran de hauteur soit au sommet de la lunette et que le pointeur vertical du réticule soit aligné avec l’axe vertical du fusil. Cette étape sera plus facile si vous trouvez une référence verticale telle que le rebord d’un bâtiment ou un poteau téléphonique. Assurez-vous que la lunette ne s’est pas déplacée vers l’avant ou vers l’arrière durant cette opération..
soient parfaitement alignés avec le centre de la cible. ii. Réglage du fardage et de l’élévation Les lunettes de visée Athlon Talos BTR ont des vis de verrouillage amovibles du bouton d’élévation et de dérive de la tourelle. Une fois le fusil aperçu dedans, il suffit de retirer la vis et retirer le bouton de la tourelle. Replacez-le avec la ligne zéro aligné avec la marque verticale en dessous du bouton rotatif, puis serrer la vis pour le verrouiller.
mettent d’ajuster le fardage au support de base. Si possible, utilisez ces réglages pour le changement initial de fardage. Bien que cela n’est généralement pas nécessaire, vous pouvez corriger les ajustements de hauteur à l’aide de calages sous le support de base. En supposant un espacement typique d’anneau de 3,25 pouces, un calage de 0,001 pouce rendra un pouce à 100 yards, deux pouces à 200 yards, et ainsi de suite.

Entretien de la lunette de visée: La chambre de remplacement de la batterie est placée sur la partie latérale de la lunette au milieu du tube ou à 45 degrés à gauche de l’oculaire. ATHLON propose différents réglages de luminosité en fonction de votre lunette. Les chiffres sur la molette indiquent différents réglages de luminosité. La position «désactivée» est indiquée par un «0». L’éclairage est alimenté par une batterie au lithium CR2032 3V.
ii. Utilisez un banc de repos ou des sacs de sable pour soutenir le canon et la crosse lorsque vous effectuez les réglages de fardage et de hauteur. Cela permettra d’éliminer les mouvements. iii. Il est recommandé d’utiliser le même type de munitions avec le même poids. iv. Vérifiez la crosse de votre fusil, car une crosse branlante modifie le point d’impact. v. Assurez-vous que la chambre du fusil et le canon sont propres vi.

APLR2 FFP IR MIL
The ATHLON® APLR FFP IR MIL Reticle Designed for prescision long to mid-range shooting application, the APLR2 FFP IR MIL reticle can be used to effectively determine ranges, holdovers, windage and moving lead corrections. The unique design of fine .2 mil hash marks increment from center all the way to four directions helps the shooter to set precise hold over positions for their targets.
Example Reticle Subtensions The APLR2 FFP IR MIL reticle is based on the milliradian, usually shortened to mrad or mil. A “mil” is defined as “one thousandth”, or 1/1000. A mil is 1/1000 of a radian ( a unit of angular measurement). Since there are 6.2832 radians in a circle, and each radian is chopped up into a thousand pieces, there are 6.2832 x 1000 = 6,283.2 mils in a circle. Since there are 360 degree in a circle, we can get 360 degree/6,283.2 mils=0.573 degree/ mil.
Example Distance Ranging Equations for ranging distance to a target using mils Height of Target (Yards) x 1000 Mils Reading on Reticle = Distance to Target (Yards) Height of Target (Meters) x 1000 = Distance to Target (Meters) Mils Reading on Reticle Height of Target (Inches) x 27.
Example Holdover For Compensating Bullet Drop To be able to use the elevation holdovers effectively, you have to know the distance to your target and bullet trajectory (bullet drop in inches or mils). Since most of bullet ballistic charts highlight bullet drops in inches, you have to know that, 1 mil equals to 3.6 inches at 100 yards, 7.2 inches at 200 yards, and 36 inches at 1000 yards, etc.
Example Holdover for Wind Correction and Moving Target The APLR2 FFP IR MIL reticle, starting with a line of dots in 1 mil on each direction at 2 mil drop line and all the way down to 4 mils on each side at 9 mil drop line and having smaller size dots with interval at .2 mils and bigger size dots with interval at 1mil. APLR2 FFP IR MIL reticle provides great visual reference to allow you to spot your target in no time.
Use visual cross point for wind correction and bullet drop Hold lead correction for a moving target As an alternative, you can use a virtual cross point formed by hash marks on both horizontal and vertical cross lines to holdover bullet drop and wind correction. Distance to your target, moving speed of your target, bullet flying time, wind direction are the key factors that determine how much holdover you need to hold for a moving target.
