Caution |
|
|
En |
||
(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 PROSTAFF 5 Riflescope for many years to come. Enjoy using it, and above all, always follow safe shooting procedures.

3. Instructions
En
(1) Focusing
1Look through the eyepiece with your eye positioned about 10 cm (4 in) away from the eyepiece to see the BDC reticle (Fig. 3-1), the Duplex reticle (Fig. 3-2), the Fine Crosshair w/Dot reticle (Fig. 3-3), or the Mildot reticle (MILstandard) (Fig. 3-4). Be sure your eye is positioned with proper alignment and with proper eye relief, otherwise the view will “black out.”
2Point the objective end of the scope at the sky (NOT point it at the sun) or at a plain unpatterned wall.
3Turn the eyepiece adjustment counter-clockwise and then turn it clockwise until the reticle appears sharp.
(2) Magnification
•The PROSTAFF 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: |
|
En |
|
•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. |
|
•For the high profile turret, adjustment is made by turning the turret by hand. If the bullet hits under the aiming point, turn the turret in the direction of the arrow marked “U”. If the bullet hits to the left of the |
|
aiming point, turn the turret in the direction of the arrow marked “R”. |
|
•After the reticle has been adjusted to the point of impact, replace the turret cap for both the windage and elevation adjustment turrets. |
|
9
(4) Zero setting of adjustment turrets
En The elevation adjustment and windage adjustment turrets have a retracting system. After the reticle has been adjusted to the point of impact, pull out the elevation adjustment or windage adjustment turret.
The turret can now be turned freely. Align the zero number to the index line to set the zero setting, and then release the turret. The turret automatically retracts to the original position.
(5) Changing the turret*
Remove the turret cap by turning it counter-clockwise. Align the turret to the 0 (zero) position of the scale ring. This is to assure that the scale ring will be |
|
|
correctly aligned to the new turret. (The alignment position should be remembered.) |
|
|
With the turret held with your fingers to avoid shifting of the aligned scale ring, turn the screw in the top of the turret counter-clockwise with the supplied |
|
|
hex key (1) until the screw comes out. Then remove the turret (Fig. 3-5). |
|
|
Insert the new turret into position and align the scale ring to 0. |
|
|
Insert the screw. By securing the turret with your fingers to avoid shifting of the scale ring, turn the screw clockwise with the supplied hex key, until the turret |
|
|
is firmly secured. |
