Magnification, Adjustment of the riflescope

Be sure your eye is positioned within proper alignment and proper eye relief otherwise the view will “black out”.

(2)Point the objective end of the scope at the sky (Do not point at the sun) or at a plain unpatterned wall.

Turn the eyepiece adjustment counter-clockwise and then turn it clockwise until the reticle appears sharp.

2. Magnification

•The Laser IRT 4-12X42 has a variable magnification from 4 to 12X. To change powers, just rotate the power selector ring until the desired

magnification appears adjacent to the power index dot (Fig. 2).

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 after removing the Adjustment cap, as follows:

4-12X42

•For the Laser IRT adjustment is made by turning the grip by hand. If the bullet hits under the aiming point, turn the grip in the direction of the arrow marked “U”. If the bullet hits to the left of the aiming point, turn the grip in the direction of the arrow marked “R” (Fig. 12).

Note:

•The windage and elevation scales of the Laser IRT 4-12X42 is calibrated in divisions of minute of angle with a click at intervals of minute of angle (half 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 the angle up one minute of the angle left.

4-12X42 specifications

The Nikon 4-12X42 rifle scope is a versatile optical device designed for hunters and shooters who demand performance and reliability in the field. This particular model strikes an impressive balance between magnification range, objective lens size, and overall durability, making it a preferred choice for various shooting applications.

One of the standout features of the Nikon 4-12X42 is its adjustable magnification range. With a low-end of 4x and a high-end of 12x, this scope allows users to engage targets at varying distances effectively. Whether you are taking aim at a game animal in thick cover at closer range or sighting in on more distant targets, the 4-12x magnification offers flexibility to adapt to your needs.

The 42mm objective lens is another critical aspect of the scope. This larger lens diameter allows more light to enter the scope, resulting in brighter and clearer images, especially in low-light conditions such as dawn and dusk. The benefit is particularly noticeable for hunters, who often find themselves operating during these challenging lighting conditions.

In terms of technology, the Nikon 4-12X42 is equipped with fully multi-coated optics. This advanced coating enhances light transmission and reduces glare, ensuring sharp clarity and contrast in the sight picture. The result is an optics system that produces vibrant colors and superior detail, which is vital for accurate targeting.

Additionally, the scope features a generous eye relief, which is crucial for comfort during extended use. A longer eye relief helps prevent injuries from recoil, ensuring that shooters can maintain a comfortable and safe position behind the rifle. This is particularly advantageous for those using higher caliber firearms.

Durability is a hallmark of the Nikon 4-12X42, as it is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. The scope is nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed, making it waterproof and fog proof. This rugged construction ensures that the scope will perform reliably, irrespective of weather conditions or the rigors of outdoor excursions.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the easily adjustable turrets. The windage and elevation adjustments provide tactile feedback, allowing for precise tweaks to your aim based on environmental factors like wind and elevation changes.

In conclusion, the Nikon 4-12X42 rifle scope combines versatility, high-quality optics, and robust construction to appeal to a broad range of shooters. Whether in the field or at the range, this scope provides the performance and reliability necessary for precision shooting and successful hunts.
