Congratulations on your choice of a Nikon riescope. Your new scope is the nest example of Nikon’s rugged and durable construction and precision bright optics; important qualities for a serious shooter’s riescope.
En
Whether you use your scope for target shooting or for hunting, the procedure for mounting is identical. A set of high-quality steel mounting rings which have a standard diameter of 1 in. (25.4 mm) are required to mount

the scope. Follow the ring manufacturer’s instructions for mounting procedures. After mounting the scope on your rie, follow the procedures for reticle alignment.
WARNING:
IMPROPER MOUNTING OF YOUR NIKON SCOPE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
THUS IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR NIKON SCOPE IS MOUNTED PROPERLY BEFORE USING. TO ENSURE PROPER MOUNTING OF YOUR NIKON SCOPE, PLEASE HAVE IT MOUNTED AND/OR CHECKED BY AN EXPERIENCED
GUNSMITH BEFORE USING.
THE USER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR HAVING THE SCOPE PROPERLY MOUNTED TO A FIREARM AND FOR USING THE SCOPE PROPERLY.
ALWAYS CHECK THE CONDITION OF YOUR SCOPE AND YOUR MOUNTING SYSTEM BEFORE USING YOUR FIREARM.

Caution
(1) Do NOT look at the sun through the riescope. It will permanently damage your eye. This precaution applies to all optical devices, such as cameras and binoculars.
(2) The riescope is eectively 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.
Notice for customers in the State of California
WARNING: This product contains chemicals including Lead which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
When setting the reticle for shooting or 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 Riescope 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 4 in. (10 cm) away from the eyepiece to see the MK1-MOA
reticle (Fig. 3-1) or the BDC 150 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.
Notice: Reticle images shown in this manual are representation only. Actual images may vary.

(2) Magnication
• Nikon riescopes have variable magnication. For details, see “2. Specications”.
To change powers, rotate the power selector ring until the desired magnication appears adjacent to the power index.
(3) Adjustment of the riescope
Sighting through the riescope, align the rie 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 adjustment turrets as follows:
• 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.
Note:
• The windage and elevation scales of P-TACTICAL RIMFIRE riescopes are calibrated in divisions of 1/4 minute of angle (MOA) with a click at intervals of 1/4 minute of angle.
• When adjusting the reticle to the point of aim, remember that 1 minute of angle equals approximately 1 in. (2.54 cm) at 100 yd. (91.44 m).
Therefore, if the impact point is 2 in. (5.08 cm) low and 1 in. (2.54 cm) right at 100 yd. (91.44 m) parallax setting, you should adjust 2 minutes of angle up and 1 minute of angle left.
In the case of 50 yd. (45.72 m) parallax setting, the adjusting value is 2×. In the case of 75 yd. (68.58 m) parallax setting, the adjusting value is 1.5×.

(4) Zero resetting of adjustment turret
En
The elevation adjustment and windage adjustment turrets have a retracting system. After the reticle has been adjusted to match the point of impact, pull up the elevation adjustment or windage adjustment turret
to disengage. 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.

Utilizing the MK1-MOA or BDC 150 reticle
These reticles are designed to compensate for the trajectory of your rearm.
Please note that the reticle is based upon ballistic information and may or may not meet the same results for you as there are many variables that come into play such as:
• Actual Velocity (Ammunition manufactures’ information in regards to muzzle velocity may or may not match the velocity your rearm produces. The best way to determine the actual muzzle velocity for your rearm
is to use a chronograph).
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Altitude
• Barometric Pressure
• Condition and inherent accuracy of the rearm
• The mounting system and how true it positions the scope to the centerline of the bore

MK1-MOA reticle
Nikon’s MK1-MOA reticle (Fig. 4-1) was designed specically for the Second Focal Plane optical system used
En
in the P-TACTICAL RIMFIRE riescopes. This highly functional and advanced tool can be used for all aspects of
rimre shooting at relevant distances, including estimating range, maintaining holdovers, dialing elevation come
ups and compensating for wind and target leads. Because it is located in the Second Focal Plane, the reticle
subtensions are calculated at the riescope’s highest magnication setting. In addition, the MK1-MOA reticle
can be used in virtually any shooting application regardless of caliber or ballistic performance, and when paired
with the P-TACTICAL RIMFIRE riescope, provides shooters with the tools necessary for shooting precision even
at extreme ranges.
The MK1-MOA reticle oers 20 MOA of measurement above and to the right and left of the crosshair—and 30
MOA of measurement below the crosshair—allowing ample calculations of elevation and windage for virtually
any relevant distance. The reticle is designed with heavy 1.75-MOA-thick outer posts at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock,
tapering in 5 MOA to meet vertical and horizontal wires. To maintain an uncluttered appearance and allow for
quick referencing, the reticle utilizes 1.0 MOA hash marks spaced at 2 MOA, with 4 MOA “reference hashes”
indicated at 10 MOA increments on each horizontal and vertical wire.

Using MK1-MOA for ranging
To determine range with minute of angle, divide the target’s known size in inches by the MOA measurement from the reticle (this can be done at any magnication) and then multiply by 100. The result is the distance
in yards to the measured object.
Target size (inches) ÷ size in reticle (MOA) × 100 = Distance (yards) to Target
For example if we know that the outside diameter of an IPSC target* is 17.7” in diameter and it measures as 6 MOA (Fig. 4-2), the equation would be: 17.7 ÷ 6 × 100 = 295 yd.
to the target.
This method can be used to create a cheat sheet if you know your target size will be constant, by calculating distance at several MOA measurements.
For example with 17.7” targets:
1 MOA = 1770 yd.
2 MOA = 885 yd.
3 MOA = 590 yd.
4 MOA = 442.5 yd.
Using this method it can become quite easy to quickly estimate target range and then apply holdover. When combined with a laser rangender, the equation can be manipulated
5 MOA = 354 yd.
6 MOA = 295 yd.
7 MOA = 252.9 yd.
8 MOA = 221.3 yd.
9 MOA = 196.7 yd.
10 MOA = 177 yd.
20 MOA = 88.5 yd.
30 MOA = 59 yd.
Fig. 4-2
to determine target size. It is important to remember that you must know the size of the target to estimate range or know the distance to estimate target size.

IPSC Target is the ocial target of the International Practical Shooting Confederation.
