Maintenance Tips
-
Clean lenses with precision: Use a microfiber cloth and lens-safe cleaner to protect HD glass and XR multi-coated optics for maximum clarity.
-
Protect ArmorTek coatings: Avoid rough materials—coatings resist scratches, oil, and dirt but still require careful handling.
-
Check mount & torque regularly: A secure 34mm tube mounting system is critical for maintaining zero under recoil.
-
Keep turrets capped & clean: Wipe around capped turrets to prevent debris buildup and ensure accurate 0.1 MRAD adjustments.
-
Battery maintenance (illumination): Replace CR2032 as needed and remove during long-term storage to avoid leakage.
-
Maintain magnification & eyepiece: Keep zoom ring and fast-focus eyepiece clean for smooth operation and sharp reticle focus.
-
Dry after harsh conditions: Even though waterproof, fogproof (argon purged), always wipe down after moisture exposure.
-
Avoid impacts: Shockproof construction is rugged, but minimizing drops preserves internal precision and tracking.
-
Store properly: Use lens covers and keep in a dry, padded case to extend lifespan.
