1. Introduction

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. 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.

About the Custom XR Turret

The Custom XR Turret provides simplicity in long range shooting by providing an elevation turret engraved to match the ballistics of your cartridge, allowing you to dial the distance to the target. Bullet Drop Compensation is now as simple as dialing the distance on your turret, eliminating the need to hold over your target for long shots.

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.
