Unlike riflescopes, adjustments to the eyepiece in handgun scopes affect the eye relief as well as the reticle focus.. Turning the eye- piece clockwise increases eye relief and turning it counterclockwise decreases it..

Completing the installation

1..Without disturbing the optimal eye relief position, rotate the scope until the elevation adjustment dial is at the top of the scope..

2..From a firing position, check to be sure that the vertical hair of the reticle aligns with the vertical axis of the firearm..

Misalignment will not affect accuracy at moderate distances but it can diminish long range accuracy..

3..When you are satisfied, tighten the ring screws evenly and securely..

Focusing the reticle

Secure the scope and firearm in a firm rest.. Safely point the scope at a light colored background object.. With the scope approximately four inches from your eye the reticle should appear sharp and crisp; if it does not, it is necessary to adjust the focus by means of the eye piece..
