Nikon OMEGA Muzzleloading 3-9x40 User Manual

OMEGA Muzzleloading Riflescope 3-9x40
Instruction manual
Congratulations on your choice of a Nikon OMEGA Muzzleloading Riflescope.
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 riflescope.
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 muzzleloader, 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 OMEGA Muzzleloading Riflescope
for many years to come. Enjoy using it, and above all, always follow safe
shooting procedures!
Caution
(1) Do not look at the sun through the riflescope. It will permanently damage
your eye. This precaution applies to all optical devices such as cameras and
binoculars.
(2) The riflescope is effectively sealed against moisture and dust. You may use
your scope safely either in the rain or in dusty climates. To preserve the
appearance of the scope, we suggest that it be dried and cleaned prior to
storage. Use a soft cloth for cleaning metal surfaces and use photographic lens
tissue to clean the scope’s lenses.
The product(s) described herein may be subject to export control regulations in
the relevant country(ies). It (they) should not be exported without authorization of
