How to use the XTR II 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
– Parallax adjustment is not available on 1x-5x
and 1.5x8x 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.
To use the parallax/focus adjustment, rotate the knob
on the left side of the adjustment turret until the
numeral corresponding to the known target distance
lines up with the reference mark. If the distance is
unknown, rotate the adjustment knob until the target
image is sharply focused.
When the scope is set parallax-free for the distance
you are viewing, you should be able to move your eye
side-to-side or up and down without seeing the reticle
move appreciably in relation to the target.

Windage/Elevation Adjustment for Multi-Turn Knobs
– Applies to 2x-10; 3x-15x; 4x-10x; 5x-25x; and 8x-40x models –
The windage and elevation knobs are designed for
precise adjustment. The click value for each knob is
indicated on the dial.
For shooting at extreme distances, the elevation knob
offers up to 8 mils/rotation with multi revolutions of
adjustment (8x-40x models have 10 MOA/rotation).
This riflescope is shipped from the factory with the
optical center set 20 MOA below center. Without
tapered bases, the initial sight-in or bore sighting will
likely produce a considerably high initial point of
impact. Because of the Zero Stop feature, as shipped
from the factory the scope has no immediate capability
for downward point-of-impact adjustment.
Use the following procedure whenever you need
downward point of impact adjustment:
1) Turn the elevation adjustment knob clockwise to “0”.
2) Use the 2mm hex wrench
supplied with the scope to
loosen the set screws on
the elevation adjustment
knob located just under
the top of the knob.
3) Pull up slightly on the
adjustment knob to the
second white hash mark on
the turret. Turn the knob
clockwise slightly more
(maybe 2-5 mils more) than
the number of mils needed
to achieve zero.
4) Retighten the set screws. Adjust the elevation down
the required amount.
5) Once the elevation adjustment is complete, once
again loosen the two set screws and reset the knob
3
“0”. With the screws loose, push down firmly on the
knob until it is fully seated on the turret base and then
retighten the set screws.
NOTE: Windage adjustments
are made with a multi-direction
adjustment knob. Zero is set
with an indexing mark to allow
for left and right adjustments.
Failure to zero at the index
mark may result in limited
windage adjustment.
Windage/Elevation Adjustment for Single-Turn Knobs
– Applies to 1x-5x and 1.5x-8x models –
The windage and elevation knobs are designed for
precise adjustment. The click value for each knob is
indicated on the dial.
The elevation knob at the top of the tube provides 9.3
mRAD of adjustment in one full turn and features a
Zero Stop. The windage knob, located on the right side
of the tube, provides up to 4.6 mRAD of adjustment in
both directions.
Both knobs can be reset to “0”
once the scope is sighted-in. To
reset the knobs to “0,” use the
hex wrench supplied with the
scope to loosen the set screws
located at the top of the
adjustment knobs.
Proper Windage Zero
The dial should spin freely.
Rotate the knob until the “0”
lines up with the hash mark
indicator, and then retighten
the set screws. The knob is not
intended to come up or off, but
if the set screws are loosened too far, the knob can be
removed. The scope is still fully sealed if this does
accidentally occur.
