The Vortex Viper riflescope is designed for a Weaver Mount system. Ensure proper mounting to your rifle using compatible rings and bases. Securely fasten the riflescope to prevent movement during recoil, which can affect accuracy.

Indledende justeringer

1. Okularfokus: Adjust the fast focus eyepiece until the reticle appears sharp and clear. This is crucial for accurate aiming.
2. Forstørrelse: Use the MAG-Bar on the magnification adjustment ring to set your desired power. The range is from 6.5x to 20x.
3. Parallaxjustering: Rotate the side knob parallax adjust to eliminate parallax error at your target distance. Range numbers are visible for reference.

Betjening af kikkertsigtet

Højde- og vindjusteringer

The riflescope features capped reset turrets for precise adjustments. Each click of the turret represents 1/4 MOA (Minute of Angle) of adjustment. To make adjustments:

1. Remove the turret cap.
2. Pull up the turret knob to disengage the locking mechanism.
3. Rotate the knob to make the desired adjustments. The clicks are tactile and audible for precise control.
4. Once adjustments are made, push the turret knob down to lock it in place.
5. To re-index the turret to zero after sighting in, pull up the turret knob, rotate it until the '0' aligns with the indicator mark, and then push it back down.

Dead-Hold BDC (MOA) Reticle

The Dead-Hold BDC (MOA) reticle is a Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticle. This means the reticle's size appears constant regardless of the magnification setting. The hashmarks on the reticle provide quick reference points for bullet drop compensation (BDC) and windage corrections at various distances.

To effectively use the BDC reticle, it is recommended to:

• Familiarize yourself with your specific ammunition's ballistic data.
• Practice at various ranges to understand the holdover points for your setup.
• Use the provided reticle manual (if applicable) or online ballistic calculators from Vortex to determine precise holdover values for different distances and environmental conditions.

Opretholdelse

Rengøring af linserne

For best optical performance, keep the lenses clean. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove loose debris. For smudges or fingerprints, use a clean microfiber cloth and a lens cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Rengøring af kroppen

Tør kikkertsigtets hus af med en blød kludamp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Ensure all moisture is wiped away before storage.

Opbevaring

Store the riflescope in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, consider using a desiccant pack to absorb moisture. Always replace lens caps to protect the optics.

Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your riflescope, consider the following common solutions:

• Sløret billede:
  • Adjust the fast focus eyepiece for reticle clarity.
  • Adjust the side parallax knob for target clarity at different distances.
  • Ensure lenses are clean and free of debris or smudges.
• Inaccurate Shots/Zero Shift:
  • Verify that the riflescope is securely mounted to the rifle. Loose mounts are a common cause of inaccuracy.
  • Ensure turret knobs are fully pushed down and locked after adjustments.
  • Check for any physical damage to the riflescope or rifle.
• Dug:
  • Internal fogging is rare due to argon purging. If it occurs, contact Vortex support.
  • External fogging can be wiped away with a clean cloth.

For persistent issues, refer to the warranty and support section for contact information.
