Maintenance Tips
- Clean lenses correctly: Use a microfiber cloth and lens-safe cleaner to protect multi-coated optics and maintain crystal-clear image quality.
- Check ring & mount tightness: Regularly inspect included rings and mounting screws to ensure consistent zero and recoil stability.
- Keep turrets smooth & debris-free: Wipe elevation/windage turrets to maintain precise tracking and repeatable adjustments.
- Protect reticle illumination system: Replace CR2032 battery as needed and remove during long-term storage.
- Avoid touching glass surfaces: Fingerprints can degrade clarity and light transmission—handle by the body only.
- Store in dry conditions: Even though fogproof and waterproof, proper storage extends optic lifespan and internal integrity.
- Verify zero-stop & tracking: Periodically confirm zero-stop setting and turret accuracy for reliable long-range performance.
- Minimize impacts: Rugged construction withstands recoil, but avoiding drops preserves internal precision components.
