11 4. TYPE AND SIZE OF THE RETICLE Reticle description. The riflescope incorporates black illuminated reticle as shown on the Fig. 2. Figure 2[...]

12 The central part of the reticle represents Mil-Dot grid with added additiona l vertical and horizontal markings in made with variable step. Such pattern corresponds to the TMR grid. The grid has breakdown for a finer step (of 0.2 thousands of a distance) on the edges. This is necessary for exact estimation of shooting distance for ranges from 50[...]

13 Method 1. Reticle segments are described in angular units as thousands of a distance or mils (1 mil). Note 1 mil represents the angular measure of a distance and constitutes: 1 mil = 1 t.d. (one thousands of a distance), or = 10 sm at 100 m of a distance, or = 3.438*MOA (Minute of Angle). The segment E on the Fig.2 = 1 mil (=1 t.d.) is the dista[...]

15 Example: Let's find size of the segment (E) of the thin cross hair at 100 m distance with 8 x magnification. The specified step at 100 m distance and 12x magnification is1 0cm. Now we shall calculate its size a t 8x magnification: E = (10 х 12): 8 = 15 cm at 100 m. The distance to the target also influences the corresponding sizes of the r[...]

16 Determining distance to the target (for 12 х magnification only). By using the Mil-dot reticle and knowing the size of the target, it is possible to determine distance to the target with enough accuracy that is required to acquire the target (or make windage adjustment to compensate the bullet drop). Procedures: 1) Make sure that the riflescope[...]

17 L= (H х 1000) / h, where L – distance to the target, m; H – real length (or height) of the target, m; h – number of the segments of the reticle that cover the chosen dimension of the target. Figure 3 (see also TABLE 6) The Figure 3 shows an example of distance estimation to a boar, which is 1.5 meters in length. Also, it is possible to de[...]

20 5. INSTALLATION ON THE WEAPON Installation of the NC 3-12x50 on the weapon includes mounting and gluing of the fixation rings (Ø30mm) in accordance with the installation m anual of the ring manufacturer. The Ø30mm fixation rings m ust be firmly attached to the riflescope body with a two-componential epoxy glue. WARNING: Do not over tighten fix[...]

21 The riflescope NC 3-12 х 50 can be supplied with fixation mounts for exact weapon model or without them depending on the particular order. 6. BATTERY INSTALLATION The riflescope operates with one CR2032 battery. Be sure that the battery is brand new and is installed with correct polarity (“–“sign goes inside the battery compartment). To i[...]

22 The reticle illumination turns off automatically after 30 minutes from the last pressing of the switch. Before turning off, the reticle blinks during several seconds. In order to turn the reticle illumination off manually, it is necessary to press and hold the switch during 2 seconds. 8. USING THE NC 3-12x50 RIFLESCOPE Operating procedure: 1) Mo[...]

23 6) If necessary, turn on the switch (6, Fig.1) to get the reticle illuminated. You should see the red illuminated outline of the reticle. Switch (6, Fig.1) also controls the reticle brightness. Riflescope is ready for operation. After operation: 1) Switch off the illumination – by returning the switch (6, Fig.1) to OFF position; 2) Close objec[...]

24 9. ADJUSTMENT ON THE WEAPON The riflescope is equipped with tactical multi- revolving reticle adjustment mechanism . Screws of the adjustment mechanism are terminated with knobs (5, Fig.1) with the horizontal and vertical scales, which allow precise determining of the clicks and turns of the knob(s). Adjustment is performed as follows: 1) Mount [...]

25 7) Make 3-4 single shoots, carefully and in the same manner aim ing at the target; 8) Determine grouping of shots and position of mean impact point in accordance with the shooting instructions (grouping of shots is considered normal if it falls under grouping standard for this type of weapon without a riflescope); Figure 4[...]

26 9) Make necessary adjustments, if required, according to the pictograms shown on the windage/elevation knobs.The step of one click as shown on the knobs is 10mm at 100m distance. 10) Execute a control shot and make sure that the aiming point of the riflescope coincides with a hit point of the bullet (perform adjustments once again, if necessary)[...]

27 10. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE Protect the riflescope from direct impacts. If there is dirt on optical surfaces, wipe optics with clean cloth. Do not use corrosive liquids such as Acetone for riflescope cleaning (wiping with Alcohol is allowed). Long-tem storage and transportation of the riflescope should be performed in a transportation case with [...]
