Maintenance Tips
-
Clean lenses with care: Use a microfiber cloth and lens-safe cleaner to preserve fully multi-coated optics and maintain sharp, high-contrast images.
-
Keep turrets debris-free: Regularly wipe exposed tactical turrets to ensure smooth 0.1 MRAD adjustments and reliable tracking.
-
Check zero-stop (RevStop™): Periodically verify zero return for consistent long-range accuracy and repeatability.
-
Inspect mount & 34mm tube fit: Ensure rings are properly torqued to prevent shift and maintain zero under recoil.
-
Maintain parallax & focus controls: Keep side parallax (15 yards–∞) and fast-focus eyepiece clean for precise targeting.
-
Use throw lever correctly: Keep it secure and clean for quick, smooth magnification changes from 5x–25x.
-
Protect lenses & coatings: Avoid touching glass—ArmorTek coatings resist scratches but still require careful handling.
-
Dry after exposure: Even though waterproof, fogproof, and nitrogen-purged, wipe down after rain or dust.
-
Store with accessories: Use included lens covers and sunshade to protect the 56mm objective from damage.
-
Avoid impacts: Rugged construction is shock-resistant, but minimizing drops preserves internal precision.
