Mounting
Two different basic designs of all our rifle scopes allow diverse types of mounting on your
rifle. The rifle scopes with prism-rail (1) are suitable for the traditional hook mount. Rifle
scopes without rail are suitable for slip on-, hinge- or swivel mountings where the rifle scope
is retained by clamping rings.
It will be most expedient to have your gunsmith procure and/or carry out the mounting that
suits your particular needs.
Zeroing / Adjustment of graticule
Vertical and lateral adjustment
The optical system of the rifle scopes is ex factory aligned to a distance of 100 m without
parallax. The rifle scope is mounted on the rifle and in general tested by your gunsmith by
shooting at a mark at a distance of 100 m. Moreover, our rifle scopes give the experienced
marksman the possibility of correcting the hit point position according to the respective
hunting conditions or kind of ammunition by means of their double adjustment of the graticule
(vertical (3) and lateral (4) adjustment).
To adjust the graticule, the two protecting caps (5) are unscrewed from the domes of the
graticule adjustment. When turning the handle elements underneath (6), the hit point position
is changed vertically on the upper dome (3) and laterally on the right-hand dome (4).
Vertical adjustment (H)
By turning the handle element in the direction of the arrow, the hit point position is shifted
vertically.
Lateral adjustment (R)
By turning the handle element in the direction of the arrow, the hit point position is shifted to
the right.
The defined notches of the click-stop adjustment as well as the graduated disks for retrieving
the zero point make an accurately reproducible correction of the hit point position possible.
One notch corresponds to a shift of the hit point in the target of 1 cm on a distance of 100 m.
The end of the adjustment range can be sensed by stoppers. Please note that the graticule
remains in the centre of the image and the adjustments effect a displacement of the image
detail. The graticule adjustment is sturdy and recoil-proof. In order to avoid an accidental
adjustment of the graticule and to guarantee water-proofness, the protecting caps must
always be screwed onto both domes again. In doing so you must always pay attention to the
exact position of the seal rings (7).
The special design of the reversal system allows for optical compensation for graticule
displacement in the telescopic image (centred graticule).
The graticule thus always appears in the centre of the field of view, even after subsequent
correction of the hit point position.
The zero setting is reproducible by means of the marking on the graduated disk.
