(4) 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:

•

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 the BLACK FX1000 riflescopes with the FX-MOA reticle are calibrated in divisions of 1/4 minute of angle (MOA) with a click at intervals of 1/4 minute of angle (1 division).

The windage and elevation scales of the BLACK FX1000 riflescopes with the FX-MRAD reticle are calibrated in divisions of 0.1 milliradian (MRAD) per click.

•

When adjusting the reticle to the point of aim, remember that 1 minute of angle (MOA) 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×.

•

When adjusting the reticle to the point of aim, remember that 0.1 milliradian equals approximately 1 cm (0.39 in.) at 100 m (109 yd.).

Therefore, if the impact point is 2 cm (0.79 in.) low and 1 cm (0.39 in.) right at 100 m (109 yd.) parallax setting, you should adjust 0.2 milliradian up and 0.1 milliradian left.
