User manual MINOX ZA 3

[. . . ] Many shooters have suffered eyebrow injury due to inadequate eye relief. Remember, too, that shooting at an uphill angle reduces the distance between your scope and eyebrow. If your rifle is not factory drilled and tapped, consult your authorized MINOX Dealer or local gunsmith. Select the mounting base(s) you prefer and refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions before following these general steps: 1. [. . . ] Sight through the bore and position the center of your target inside the barrel. Hold the rifle steady, keeping the bull's eye centered inside the barrel. Make Windage and Elevation Adjustments to the scope until the bull's eye is centered on the reticle. Sighting-In Preliminary Bore-Sighting If using a bore-sighter, follow the instrument manufacturer's instructions. Bore-sighting lets you get "on target" before you begin actual shooting, saving time and ammunition. 14 Note: For lever action rifles, use an inexpensive device designed for bore-sighting through the chamber or magazine follower. Final Three-Shot Groups After bore-sighting is complete, fine tune accuracy by firing three-shot groups from a steady rest. Fire one or two shots and make an adjustment if you are several inches off center. Using the center of that group for reference, determine how far you are left or right/above or below the bull's eye. Make necessary corrections using the Windage and Elevation Adjustments. Note: each audible click of the adjustment knob will change the point-of-impact ¼" at 100 yards. Carefully fire another three-shot group and repeat from step three until shots are at the desired center point-of-impact. Note: Once the desired point-of-impact has been achieved, both the Elevation and Windage knobs can be reset to "zero" by loosening the knobs (using the provided Allen wrench) and adjusting the knobs back to the zero position. Once tightened, the adjustments can now be utilized to "dial" desired "hold off" to 15 compensate for bullet drop and distance or bullet drift due to wind. Care and Maintenance MINOX has engineered extraordinary durability into every riflescope we build. However, they are still precision optical instruments and reasonable care should be taken to ensure optimal performance. Do not disassemble your scope in any way as this could damage the seal which makes the scope water and fog-proof. When cleaning your rifle, cover the eyepiece to prevent accidental contact with cleaning solutions. Clean the scope periodically by wiping the housing with a clean soft cloth. Carefully clean the surface of both the Objective and Ocular lens: brush away dust and surface particles with a soft (camel hair) brush and use a small amount of alcohol or lens cleaner on lens cleaning tissue to remove smudges, oil, water spots, etc. . Your MINOX scope was properly lubricated during assembly and requires no further lubrication. Trouble Shooting Accuracy Problems Accuracy is affected by many variables, including variations inherent in different rifles. For inconsistent or excessively large groups, double groups, stringing or flyers, here are important items to check: 1) Check all mounting components and screws for tightness. 3) On model ZA 5 4-20x50, ensure Parallax Control is adjusted to the correct calibration. 4) Check to ensure rifle barrel and chamber are clean and free of copper fouling, as these can affect accuracy. Also, many rifles will shoot one type of ammunition more accurately than another. 9) If items 1- 8 are ok, have a gunsmith check the following: - Warped stock or bedding - Erosion of barrel or chamber throat - Excessive trigger pull 17 Sighting-In Problems 1) To get on the target, bore-sight the rifle or shoot from close range. 2) Extreme elevation problems may require a metal shim under the front or back of the mounting base.
