MARK III Series Features
Mounting Your Scope
CAUTION: BE SURE THAT YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED AND POINTED IN A SAFE
Once you have the scope mounted in the rings (before final tightening), it is necessary to adjust the
scope’s position in the rings to allow for Maximum Eye Relief and reticle leveling. Slide the scope as
far forward as possible in the rings. While viewing through the scope in a normal shooting position
(properly shouldered firearm and a proper cheek weld on the stock) move the scope back towards
your eye until a Full Field of View is achieved while ensuring that the scope will be a safe distance
from your eye when the firearm recoils. Without disturbing the Eye Relief settings, aim the reticle at
a plumb line. Align the vertical cross hair of the reticle with the plumb line by rotating the scope
within the rings. Once you are satisfied with your scope settings and placement, tighten the rings
evenly and securely according to the Manufactures Specifications. Be sure not to over tighten the
rings as doing so can cause permanent damage to the scope.
DIRECTION. PRACTICE SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING PROCEDURES AT ALL TIMES.
NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with the process of scope mounting it may be
necessary to employ the service of a Qualified Gunsmith.

Your NcSTAR Scope is factory set with a Centered Reticle necessary for efficient sighting-in. If you
have made any prior adjustments to the Elevation and Windage settings it will be necessary to recenter the reticle. Turn the Elevation Adjustment Dial [E] in either direction until it comes to a
complete stop. Next, turn the dial in the opposite direction, counting the number of clicks, until you
have reached the limits of the adjustment range. Divide the number of clicks in half, and turn the
dial that exact number of clicks back towards the center of the adjustment range. Repeat this
procedure for the Windage Adjustment Dial [F]. The reticle is now centered.
Focusing Your Scope Reticle
CAUTION: VIEWING THE SUN WITH THIS SCOPE OR ANY OTHER OPTICAL
Holding the scope at the proper distance from your eye, in order to achieve a Full Field of View, the
reticle should appear sharp and clear. If not, it will be necessary to adjust the focus by turning the
Quick Focus Ring [B].
DEVICE CAN CAUSE PERMANENT INJURY TO THE EYE, INCLUDING BLINDNESS
1. Make quick glances through the eyepiece at a
featureless bright surface such as a white wall, or
the open sky.
2. Turning the Quick Focus Ring [B] counter-clockwise
will extend the Ocular Lens outward, generally
suitable for those who are far sighted. Turning the
Quick Focus Ring clockwise will draw the Ocular
Lens inward, generally suitable for those who are
near sighted.
3. Fine tune your adjustments until the reticle appears
sharp and clear. Once the Ocular Lens reaches its
outer limits of adjustment, be sure not to force it.
Doing so will cause damage to the eyepiece.
Magnification Adjustment
All Mark III scopes have a Variable Power Magnification Ring [D], with the Magnification Ring located
directly in front of the eyepiece. By turning this ring you can quickly and easily choose the desired
magnification level. Lower levels of magnification provide you with a wider Field of View, while
higher levels of magnification provide you with a closer view of your target.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOOSEN OR REMOVE THE SLOTTED SCREW ON
THE MAGNIFICATION RING. DOING SO CAN RELEASE THE INTERNAL NITROGEN
GAS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE SCOPE.
