If you tend to hold things cloeer to your eyes in order to see them clearer for did

If it is determinad
that the eyepiece must be turned in, be sure to turn the lock ring in prior to theeyepiece

To adjust the day optic sight, the following procedures should be used: ignoring the range
markings on the dials. adjust the windage and elevation dials as needed to precisely zero the rifle
for optimum performance on the target selected, (one click on the elevation dial represents 1 minute of angle. one click on the windage dial represents l/2 minute of angle). When the day optic
sight is precisely zeroed with the weapon on this target, loosen the set screws hofdlng the dlels,
and turn the elevation dial to locate the numeral corresponding to the target range over the Index
line. Retiohten the set screws. Turn the windaga dial until “6” is under the index line. Retighten
