FEATurES

APPLICATION

3

mOuNTINg

1. Slightly loosen the fixing screws on the
weaver rail built into the scope.

2. Place the scope on the dovetail mount
of the fire arm making certain that the
mount aligns with the receptor attach­ment screw groove. Adjust as neces­sary.

3. Tighten the fixing screws.

NOTE: Receptor attachment screws may
need to be tightened after continuous
shooting.

BATTEry INSTALLATION

Install the battery into the housing with
the polarity order as shown on the scope.

Battery Type: 3 Volt Lithium standard
watch battery type CR2032.

FOCuSINg

While holding the scope about two inches
from your eye, quickly glance through the
eyepiece at a featureless, flatly lit bright
area such as a wall or the sky.

CAUTION: Viewing the sun can cause
serious eye injury, never look at the sun
with this product or even the naked eye.

If t he ret i cle i s no t sh a r ply d efined
instantly, turn the eyepiece (either direc­tion) a few turns.

Quickly glance through the scope again.
If the focus has improved, but is still not
perfect, continue focusing. If the focus
condition become worse turn the focus
the opposite direction.

wINDAgE AND ELEVATION

The vertical and horizontal adjustments
for the ATN 3,5x26 can be achieved by
turning the elevation and windage adjust­ment mechanisms (remove dust caps
first). Each click equals to 1/4 inches at
100 yards. When reaching the maximum
of rotation do not use force.

ZErOINg

Pre-zeroing is recommended and can be
done in accordance with a scope guide or
owner’s instructions.

CAUTION: Be sure gun is not loaded.
Always use safe gun handling proce­dures.

All sho o ting sho uld be don e at an
approved range or other safe area. Eye
and ear protection is recommended.

DANGER

: If you used a bore-obstruct­ing device, remove it before proceed­ing. If the barrel has-been drilled for
a mount, check that the screws do
not protrude into the bore. Do not fire
live or even blank ammunition with
an obstructed barrel. An obstruction
can cause serious damage to the gun
and possible injury to you and others
nearby.

From a steady position, fire three rounds
at a target. Observe the impact area and
estimate the correction value. Adjust
windage and elevation handles as needed
to correct aim.

Remove the dust caps from the top of the

Turn the windage and elevation handles
through the number of clicks necessary
for an amendment.

NOTE: Each click of adjustment changes

bullet strike by the amount shown on the
chart below.

When you have finished adjustment of
fire, recap windage and elevation mecha­nisms.

ELECTrONIC rETICLE

The riflescope has two-color reticle: red
and green.

Brightness Adjustment Knob has 5 set
positions of brightness level for each reti­cle color. Brightness levels are scaled on
the knob as “1” to “5” and marked with the
corresponding color. “0”-position means
the reticle illumination is turned-off. In this
position reticle is black.

Reticle brightness position “1” is adapted
friendly for use with night vision spotting
devices.

rANgEFINDEr rETICLE

Th e Mil - d ot r eti cl e is u sed in th e
ATN 3.5x26. Mil dot reticle is a reliable

means of determining distances to tar­gets, establishing leads for moving tar­gets, and for alternate aiming points for
windage and elevation holds.

Dots are spaced in one mil (milliradian)
increments on the crosshair. A distance
to target can be calculated using the mil
formula, that is based on the size of the
object being targeted.

Look through the scope, and bracket the
object between dots.

The space between dot centers subtends
one milliradian(mil). One mil. subtends 3.6
inches at 100 yards or 36 inches at 1,000
yards. To use this system effectively you
must know the size of the target.

By measuring the height or width of a
known (or approximately known target
size) in mil-radians using the reticles, the
target distance can be calculated as fol­lows.

R = range in meters, H = target size in me­ters, M = mil-radians of the image size:

R = 1000 * H / M

Military shooters are trained to know
tha t the co m mon mal e tor s o is 39
inc hes fro m crotc h t o t op of head.
This is ver y close to exactly one me ­te r. Th i s f or m u l a t h en b ec o m e s
R = 1000 / M for a one meter target size.

All of the following formula are equivalent
to the one above for estimating range.

R = range in meters, H = target size in
inches, M = mil-radians of the image:

R = 25.4 * H / M

R = range in yards, H = target size in inches,
M = mil-radians of the image:

R = 27.78 * H / M

R = range in yards, H = target size in feet,
M = mil-radians of the image:

R= 333.3 * H / M

mAINTAININg yOur rIFLE SCOPE

Your rifle scope is waterproof and shock­proof. However, you should never try to
take apart or clean it internally (it will void
your warranty). If your scope ever does
need repairs or adjustments, it should be
returned to ATN’s service department.
The exposed optical surfaces will perform
their best if they are occasionally wiped
clean with a lens cloth or with optical qual­ity lens paper like those for eyeglasses

or camera lenses. Maintain the metal
surfaces of your rifle scope by removing
any dirt or sand with a soft brush so as to
avoid scratching the finish. Wipe down the
scope with a damp cloth and follow with
a dry cloth. Finally, going over the tube
with a silicone treated cloth will restore
luster and protect the scope against cor­rosion. Be careful not to touch the any of
the lenses with the silicone cloth.

uSINg wITh NIghT VISION DEVICES
