How to use Your Droptine Riflescope

Eyepiece Focusing

The eyepiece can be focused so that the reticle
appears sharp and black. Adjusting the focus is
quick and easy to do, just follow this procedure:

1. Point the scope at the sky or a plain wall and
take a quick glance through the scope. If the
reticle appears sharp and black, no further
adjustment is necessary.

2. If the reticle does not appear sharp and black,
take quick glances through the scope while
rotating the focus ring until the reticle pattern
is sharp and black.

NOTE: Do not look through the eyepiece as you
turn the focus ring. Your eyes will adjust to the
out-of-focus condition.

Parallax/Focus Adjustment

– Not available on all models –

Parallax is the apparent movement of the reticle
in relation to the target when the eye is not
directly in line behind the center of the scope.
Images from different distances focus in front of
or behind the scope’s reticle. Parallax is more
noticeable with higher magnification scopes.

Parallax is adjusted by rotating the parallax
adjustment ring located on the objective bell.
When the scope is set parallax-free for the
distance you are viewing, you should be able to
move your head side-to-side or up and down
without seeing the reticle move appreciably in
relation to the target.

Windage/Elevation Adjustment for E1 Hunter Knobs

The low profile E1 Hunter Knobs feature a finger
adjustment for both windage and elevation.
Once you have successfully zeroed your scope,
you can set the zero on your dials with these
simple steps:

1) With turret caps removed, grip knob top firmly

to keep knob from turning.

2) Put pen or other small object into the small

hole located on the dial.

3) Keeping firm grip on the knob, use the pen to

turn the dial back to zero, lining up the number
zero with the white indicator dot. Only the
numbered dial should move – do not allow the
entire knob to move or else you will alter your
windage and elevation zero settings.

NOTE: You do not have to set the zero on your
dials for your scope to function properly. Doing
so can give you peace of mind that your zero is
set, plus you can easily confirm if it has moved at
any time, but this step is optional.
