Instruction manual/Mode d'emploi
Congratulations on your choice of a Nikon MONARCH 5 Riflescope. Your new scope is the finest example of Nikon's rugged and durable construction and precision bright optics; important qualities for a serious shooter's
riflescope.
En
Whether you use your scope for hunting or for target shooting, the procedure for mounting is identical. A set of high-quality steel mounting rings which have a standard diameter of 25.4 mm (1 in) are required to mount
the scope. Follow the ring manufacturer's instructions for mounting procedures. After mounting the scope on your rifle, follow the procedures for reticle alignment.
Caution
(1) Do NOT look at the sun through the riflescope. It will permanently damage your eye. This precaution applies to all optical devices, such as cameras and binoculars.
(2) The riflescope is effectively sealed against moisture and dust. You may use your scope safely either in the rain or in dusty climates. To preserve the appearance of the scope, we recommend that it be dried and
cleaned prior to storage. Use a soft cloth for cleaning metal surfaces and use photographic lens tissue to clean the scope's lenses.

When setting the reticle for hunting, you should determine your standard range and then adjust the reticle based upon that target distance. For targets which vary from that standard distance, according to personal
preference, you may simply adjust the position of the reticle in relation to your target, or you may wish to use the procedure for trajectory compensation.
We hope that you will enjoy your new Nikon Riflescope for many years to come. Enjoy using it, and above all, always follow safe shooting procedures.

3. Instructions
(1) Focusing
1 Look through the eyepiece with your eye positioned about 10 cm (4 in) away from the eyepiece to see the Advanced BDC reticle
(Fig. 3-1) or the Fine Crosshair w/Dot reticle (Fig. 3-2). Be sure your eye is positioned with proper alignment and with proper eye
relief, otherwise the view will “black out.”
2 Point the objective end of the scope at the sky (do NOT point it at the sun) or at a plain unpatterned wall.
3 Turn the eyepiece adjustment counter-clockwise and then turn it clockwise until the reticle appears sharp.

Fine Crosshair w/Dot reticle
Fig. 3-2
(2) Magnification
• The MONARCH 5 Riflescope has variable magnification. For details, see “2. Specifications”.
To change powers, rotate the power selector ring until the desired magnification appears adjacent to the power index dot.
(3) Adjustment of the riflescope
Sighting through the riflescope, align the rifle with your aiming point on the target and shoot a trial round. If the bullet does not hit the aiming point, adjust the elevation and windage as follows:
• Remove the turret cap (if attached) by turning it counter-clockwise.
• If the bullet hits under the aiming point, turn the elevation adjustment turret (counter-clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “U” for up. If the bullet hits high, turn the elevation adjustment turret (clock-
wise) in the direction of the arrow marked “D” for down.
• If the bullet hits to the right of the aiming point, turn the windage adjustment turret (clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “L” for left. If the bullet hits to the left of the aiming point, turn the windage
adjustment turret (counter-clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “R” for right.
• After the reticle has been adjusted to the point of impact, replace the turret cap for both the windage and elevation adjustment turrets.
