MODEL 5-25x56 LR
INSTALLATION
Observe the manufacturer‘s instructions during installation.
Note: We recommend that you have the scope installed by a
specialist workshop or gunsmith. This will ensure the scope
is properly installed on your firearm.
Note: To maximize full use of the elevation, it is necessary
to use mounts or a rail with forward cant. If mounts without
forward cant are used, only about half of the elevation range
can be utilized. An assembly with forward cant extends the
available elevation range by the amount of cant built into the
mount. The maximum cant of the assembly should be less
than half of the elevation range.
Note: These are the theoretical values under the assump-
tion that the weapon and assembly were constructed
without tolerances, and without taking the bullet drop at
the normal zeroing distance of 100 m into consideration.
In practice, variations may occur due to tolerances – the
theoretical maximum forward cant should therefore not be
completely exhausted.
RETICLE ADJUSTMENT
The windage and elevation turrets have tactile and audible
clicks and engraved markings in 0.1 mrad increments. One 0.1
mrad click (milliradian, also known as “mil”) is equivalent to 1
cm / 100 m.
The elevation turret is equipped with a so-called Double-Turn
(DT) feature. This means that two complete revolutions of the
adjustment cap are available to make full use of the 28 mrad
adjustment range without the clicks and scale markings being
too close to each other. The scale markings on the elevation
knob indicate the point of impact above the zero position. The
elevation knob has two rows of numbers, the upper row of
which indicates the second turn. At the beginning of the second
revolution, white markings will appear in both windows at the
base of the turret. These markings indicate that the upper sec-
ondary scale is in eect.
An „R“ or „L“ in front of the numbers on the windage tower indi-
cates the direction in which the point of impact will be shifted
when making windage adjustments. For example, to compen-
sate for a crosswind from the right, which would cause the
point of impact to shift to the left, turn the windage adjustment
in the „R“ direction until the desired point of impact has been
reached. These markings correspond with the output of most
ballistic programs in which the output of values for windage
adjustments are preceded with an „R“ or „L“ as a prefix for the
direction of compensation.
The riflescope’s turrets turn „CCW“ (counterclockwise). The
direction of rotation indicates the direction in which the caps
must be turned to change the point of impact “up” or “right”.
The elevation turret is equipped with a Zero Stop, limiting the
rotation of the adjustment cap. The Zero Stop is permanent and
does not need to be adjusted. It is designed to stop the rotation
of the elevation cap a few clicks below the zero position. The
windage turret is equipped with a stop to limit the windage
adjustment range so that it cannot be turned more than half
of a revolution.
While zeroing your rifle, adjust the elevation and windage
knobs until the point of impact matches the point of aim.
For example, if the impacts are too low, adjust the elevation
upwards and if the impacts are too far right, adjust the windage
towards “left”.
The caps can be loosened using a 2 mm allen key and tight-
ened again after turning the caps to the zero position. When
the caps have been loosened, no clicks can be heard or felt,
indicating that the caps have been successfully disengaged
from the adjustment mechanism.
To set the knobs to zero after zeroing your rifle, slightly loosen
the screws with a 2 mm allen key. About half a turn should
be enough. Turn the knobs to the zero position (the indicator
windows must be black). Tighten the screws only hand-tight.
It is advisable to hold the shorter end of the key to avoid too
much torque when tightening the screws.
