Nikon Monarch Gold (E) Magnification, Adjustment and Zero setting of the riflescope

(3) Magnification

•The Nikon Monarch Gold (E) 2.5-10x50 SF and 2.5-10x56 SF have a variable magnification from 2.5 to 10x, 1.5-6x42 from 1.5 to 6x, 1.1-4x24 from 1.1 to 4x.

To change powers, just rotate the power selector ring until the desired magnification appears adjacent to the power index dot.

(4) Adjustment and Zero setting 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 (counter-clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “U” for up as in Fig. 3-6. If the bullet hits high, turn adjustment (clockwise) 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 (clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “L” for left as in Fig. 3-7. If the bullet hits to the left of the aiming point, turn adjustment (counter-clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “R” for right.

•After the reticle has been adjusted to the point of impacts, with the grip held with your fingers to avoid shifting of the aligned grip, turn the grip screw in top of the grip counterclockwise with coin. Then lift the grip up and align the “ ” with the index mark. It may happen that the “ ” could not align with the index mark exactly because of the coupling pitch of the grip with the shaft. And by securing the grip with your fingers to avoid shifting of the grip, turn the grip screw clockwise with the coin until the grip is firmly secured. (Fig. 3-8)

Note:

•The windage and elevation scales of the Nikon Monarch Gold (E) 2.5-10x50 SF, 2.5-10x56 SF, 1.5-6x42 and 1.1-4x24 are calibrated in division of 1/4 minute of angle with a click at intervals of 1/4 minute of angle (one division).

•When adjusting the reticle to the point of aim, remember that one minute of angle equals approximately one inch (2.54 cm) at 100 yards (91.44 m). Therefore, if the impact point is two inches (5.08 cm) low and one inch (2.54 cm) right at 100 yards (91.44 m) Parallax Setting, you should adjust two minutes of angle up one minute of angle left. In case of 50 yards (45.72 m). Parallax Setting the adjusting value is double. In case of 75 yards (68.58 m) Parallax Setting is 1.5 times.
