Leveling the Reticle (Field Version)

1. Remove the Butler Creek Eye Piece Cap.

2. Reduce the power to 3.5X.

3. Loosen the scope ring cap screws evenly, just enough to allow the scope

to cant left or right.

4. Holding the rifle forward, use the rear of the scope mount base as a guide.

5. Adjust the scope left or right allowing the reticle to be parallel with the flat

on the scope mount base.

6. Evenly tighten the screws slowly to eliminate rotating the scope in the

rings.

Focusing the Eye Piece

1. This procedure focuses the reticle to your eye. (This has no effect on the

image unless severely out of adjustment).

2. Check that the riflescope is set at the highest magnification.

3. Set the parallax adjustment to the infinity setting on the riflescope.

4. Look through the riflescope eyepiece to determine if the reticle is clear

and in focus instantly. Note: All Nightforce riflescopes are factory set for

average individual eye strength, thus adjustment may not be necessary.

Looking at the reticle for an extended period of time during this process

will cause your eye to compensate, resulting in false indication of reticle

focus.

5. If adjustment is necessary grasp the eyepiece and rotate counter

clockwise – loosening it away from the lock-ring while holding the

riflescope from turning in the rings. Several turns of the eyepiece are

necessary to achieve any measurable affect. Once reticle focus is

achieved, lock the eyepiece by threading the lock-ring back to the

eyepiece.

Parallax Adjustment

All Nightforce riflescopes feature an adjustment for eliminating parallax. Parallax

is the apparent movement of the reticle in relation to the target as the shooter

moves his eye across the exit pupil of the riflescope. A nod of the head up and

down will quickly determine if parallax is present. If parallax has been eliminated

the reticle will remain stationary in relation to the target regardless of head

placement. Thus not influencing the accuracy of the shot.

windage adjustment turret.
