DESCRIPTION

Optical sights Craft 4x32, 7x50 and 8x56 are designed for target shooting using weapon of various calibres, including large ones. Craft 4x32 features lightweight design, compact size, suitable for driving or stalking hunting. Models 7x50 and 8x56 have high light gathering capacity and are ideal for use in twilight or lowlight conditions. 

USING THE EYEPIECE DIOPTRE FOCUSING

  • Look at a distant object through the eyepiece (1), eye relief should be around 95-100 mm (depending on model).

  • If the reticle image is blurry, rotate the diopter adjustment ring (2) until the image is sharp and clear.

WARNING: Never look at the sun through the riflescope (or any other optical instrument) - it may permanently damage your eyes.

Mounting

To ensure precise shooting the sight should be correctly mounted on a rifle.

  • Use a high-quality mount with bases (not included) designed to fit your type of rifle.
  • The scope should be mounted as low as possible without touching either the barrel or the receiver. Before tightening the mount rings make sure you have the necessary eye relief that allows you to see a full field of view.

WARNING: If the scope does not have sufficient eye relief, its rearward motion may injure the shooter when the rifle recoins.

Zeroing

Bore sighting is a preliminary procedure to achieve proper alignment of the sight with the rifle's bore.

  • Aim at a target 100 meters away.
  • Set a target at a distance of about 100m.
  • Mount the rifle with the riflescope installed on a bench rest.
  • Adjust the eyepiece (1) to achieve a sharp image of the target.
  • Take aim and shoot at the centre of the target.
  • If the point of impact did not match with the aiming point, unscrew the caps of windage (4) / elevation (3) turrets and use the turrets to line up the centre of the reticle and the point of impact.
  • Take two shots. If required, re-adjust the reticle.

Attention! Each “click” of the Adjustment Scale Ring will change bullet impact by 1/4 MOA (Minute of Angle) in Craft 4x32 or 1/8 MOA Craft 7x50/8x56 which equates to 7 or 4 mm at 100 meters respectively.

Aiming reticle

Craft optical sights are equipped with reticle #40 (see pic.) with a red illuminating dot in its centre. To change illumination power, set the knob (5) against corresponding mark on the housing showing one of the illumination levels (there are 11 levels - see picture). Reticle illumination is powered by a single CR2032 Lithium battery. To replace the battery, unscrew the cover of the knob (5) counterclockwise and insert a new battery with “+” facing upwards.

Please note that if the sight is to be used with a Night Vision attachment, reticle illumination level should be set to “NV”.
