Congratulations on your choice of a Nikon ENCORE Handgun Scope. Your new scope is the finest example of Nikon's rugged and durable construction and precision bright optics; important qualities for a serious shooter's handgun scope.
Whether you use your scope for hunting or for target shooting, the procedure for mounting is identical. You should acquire a set of high quality steel mounting rings which have a standard diameter of 25.4 mm (1 inch). Follow the ring manufacturer's instructions for mounting procedures. After mounting the scope on your handgun scope, follow the procedures for reticle alignment.
When setting the reticle for hunting, you should determine your standard range and then adjust the reticle based upon that target distance. For targets which vary from that standard distance you may simply adjust the position of the reticle in relation to your target, or you may wish to use the procedure for trajectory compensation. It's up to your personal preference.
We hope that you will enjoy your new Nikon ENCORE Handgun Scope for many years to come. Enjoy using it, and above all, always follow safe shooting procedures!
