Usage Features:

Mounting the Riton Optic:

1. Place the red dot sight onto the picatinny rail of the weapon.
2. Before tightening the QD Mount, adjust the sight for maximum eye relief to prevent injury from recoil.
3. Tighten the lever on the QD Mount to secure the optic.

Bore Sighting:

Bore sighting is a preliminary step to align the scope with the rifle's bore, reducing the amount of time and ammunition needed for zeroing.

1. Place the rifle solidly on a rest and remove the bolt or bolt carrier group.
2. Sight through the bore at a target approximately 50 yards away.
3. Move the rifle and the rest until the target is visually centered inside the barrel.
4. With the target centered in the bore, make windage and elevation adjustments until the red dot is also centered over the target. Note: If a laser bore sighting device was used, it must be removed before firing to prevent damage to the gun or injury to the shooter.

Zeroing the Red Dot:

1. Start the sight-in process from 25 yards. From a solid rest, fire one 3-shot group, ensuring consistent aiming.
2. After the first 3-shot group, make adjustments to bring the bullet impact to the center of the target.
3. Repeat this process at 100 yards to achieve an accurate 100-yard zero.

Illumination System:

To activate the illumination, rotate the adjustment knob in either direction. There are six levels of brightness, with off positions between each setting, allowing users to select the appropriate brightness for their environment.

Explanation of Minute of Angle (MOA):

MOA is a unit of arc measurement. There are 360 degrees in a circle and 60 minutes in a degree, totaling 21,600 minutes (MOA) in a circle. One MOA subtends approximately 1.05 inches at a distance of 100 yards. The provided chart helps determine the number of clicks needed to adjust the point of impact at various distances (25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards).

Maintenance Features:

Changing the Battery:

To change the battery, unscrew the outer cap located on the illumination/parallax knob. Replace the old battery with a new CR2032 battery.

Troubleshooting:

Many perceived problems with riflescopes are often related to mount issues. Users should ensure that the mounts are tight to the rifle, the scope is secured without twisting or movement in the rings, and that the correct base and rings are used in the proper orientation. Torque rings according to the manufacturer's specifications. Poor bullet grouping can also be caused by various factors. Users should always utilize a solid rest, maintain good shooting technique, and ensure the rifle is clean and in good working order. Trying different ammunition may also improve accuracy if the current ammunition is not compatible with the rifle.
