Windage and Elevation Adjustments

The Spitfire incorporates elevation and windage dials with audible
clicks. Each small click will move the point of impact 1 Minute of
Angle (MOA). 1 MOA will closely correspond to 1/4 inch at 25 yards,
1/2 inch at 50 yards and 1 inch at 100 yards.

Adjust the settings

1. Remove the dial covers.

2. Use a coin or screwdriver to make the adjustments.

3. Turn the adjustment dial in the appropriate direction as indicated
by the arrows. Move the dials in the direction you wish the bullet’s
point-of-impact to change.

Example

At a 50 yard sight-in distance, it will take two clicks of the dial to move
the bullet’s point of impact one inch.

Orient the Spitfire so the illumination dial faces shooter.

1. Loosen the crossbolt
nut and attach the
Spitfire to the rail/base,
making sure that recoil
lug is solidly seated in
the base groove.

2. Check that the mount
fully engages the base,
press the Spitfire down
and forward, then
tighten and torque the
crossbolt nut.

Recommended Torque

Base Clamp Hex Nut
35–45 in/lbs

Note: To prevent recoil injury, position it so that you have at least four
inches of eye relief once the Spitfire scope is attached. Because the Spitfire
has generous eye relief, the scope can be mounted further away if desired.

Mount Heights

The Spitfire 1x prism scope comes from the factory with a mounted
height of 40.4 mm from the optic center to base surface. This is commonly
referred to as a lower 1/3 co-witness height. If a lower 30 mm mounted
height is desired, loosen the two mount screws then remove the base clamp
and mount riser. Remove the riser and reinstall the base clamp with the
shorter mount screws provided in the box using a non-permanent thread-
locking compound when installing the screws.

Rotate the adjustment dial in the
direction you wish the bullet’s
point-of-impact to change. For
example, turning the turret
counter-clockwise will move the
point-of-impact up or to the right.
