The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

    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[...]
