Congratulations on the purchase of your New VISM Evolution (EVO) Series Scope! The EVO Series
of Scopes give you many great high end features and various magnification ranges so you can select an
EVO model that best fits your needs. Backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty, your VISM Scope will
provide you with years of reliable service. This Owner’s Manual will help you understand all of the features
of your new scope. Follow all instructions carefully before initial use to experience the best performance.
CAUTION: BE SURE THAT YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED AND POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
PRACTICE SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING PROCEDURES AT ALL TIMES.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS OF MOUNTING A SCOPE, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO EMPLOY THE SERVICE OF A QUALIFIED GUNSMITH.
Choosing a proper ring type and height is essential to successfully mounting this scope to your
firearm. Be sure to follow the Manufacturers Installation Instructions of the scope rings and base that you
choose.
Mounting your scope as low as possible on the firearm will help to achieve optimum cheek weld and
a comfortable, consistent shooting position. Use the lowest rings possible while ensuring that no part of the
scope is in contact with any part of the firearm. Also, be sure that you can operate all features of the scope,
and that all parts of the firearm function normally without interference from the scope.
Once you have the scope mounted in the rings (before final tightening) it is necessary to adjust the
scope’s position 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 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 setting, 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 scopes setting 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.

Mounting Your Scope
2
Your VISM 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 re-center
the reticle. Turn the Elevation Adjustment Dial 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.
The reticle is now centered.
CAUTION: VIEWING THE SUN WITH THIS SCOPE OR ANY OTHER OPTICAL DEVICE CAN CAUSE
PERMANENT INJURY TO THE EYE INCLUDING BLINDNESS
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.
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 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
as doing so will cause damage to the eyepiece.
Magnification Adjustment
The EVO Scopes have a Magnification Power selector 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.
Focusing Your Scope
On a few select EVO scope models will have a side Parallax Adjustment Dial feature. If your scope
is equipped with a side Parallax Adjustment feature, there will be a third turret dial on the left side of the
scope body, along with the elevation and windage turrets. The Parallax Adjustment Dial will fine tune the
parallax alignment of the scope, so that you can properly adjust the parallax of your reticle to the target
image in the scope.
