Windage and Elevation, Zeroing | ATN, Inc 10x65Z, Army Mil-Dot

WINDAGE AND ELEVATION

The vertical and horizontal adjustments for the 10x65Z can be achieved by turning the eleva- tion and windage adjustment mechanisms (remove dust caps first). Each click equals to 1/8 inches at 100 yards. When reaching the maximum of rotation do not use force.

ZEROING

Pre-zeroing is recommended and can be done in accordance with a scope guide or owner’s instructions.

CAUTION: Be sure gun is not loaded. Always use safe gun handling procedures.

All shooting should be done at an approved range or other safe area. Eye and ear protec- tion is recommended.

DANGER: If you used a bore-obstructing device, remove it before proceeding. If the barrel has-been drilled for a mount, check that the screws do not protrude into the bore. Do not fire live or even blank ammunition with an obstructed barrel. An obstruction can cause serious damage to the gun and possible injury to you and others nearby.

Set the shooting distance on the compensa- tor’s scale.

From a steady position, fire three rounds at a target. Observe the impact errors and estimate the correction value. Adjust windage and elevation handles as needed to correct aim.

1.Remove the dust caps from the top of the windage and elevation adjusting handles.

2.Choose one of the lines as regard to which you can take readings more conveniently.

3.Rotating the scale by protrusive pins set zero of the turning scale just opposite the chosen line.

4.Turn the windage and elevation handles through the number of clicks necessary for an amendment.

The number of clicks should be read from the scale with respect to the chosen line. Each graduation interval equals to 10 clicks.

NOTE: Each click of adjustment changes bullet strike by the amount shown on the chart below.

Windage/Elevation

(inches of movement per click)

100 Yards - 1/8”

200 Yards - 1/4”

300 Yards - 3/8”

400 Yards - 1/2”

600 Yards - 3/4”

800 Yards - 1” 1000Yards - 1 1/4”

When you have finished adjustment of fire, recap windage and elevation mechanisms.

ELECTRONIC RETICLE

Your scope has an electronic reticle. There are 11 degrees of illumination. The rheostat is the knob located at the back of the scope. It is labeled with numbers OFF through 11. When the rheostat is set at OFF you will see a black etched reticle. The reticle will light up red elec- tronically as you rotate the rheostat through the numbers, 11 being the brightest.

RANGEFINDER RETICLE

The Mil-dot reticle is used in the 10x65Z. Mil dot reticle is a reliable means of determining distances to targets, establishing leads for moving targets, and for alternate aiming points for windage and elevation holds.

Dots are spaced in one mil (milliradian) incre- ments on the crosshair. A distance to target can be calculated using the mil formula, that is based on the size of the object being targeted.

Look through the scope, and bracket the object between dots.
