Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Nikko Stirling riflescope.
Please read this manual before mounting your Nikko Stirling
scope for proper and safe use. All Nikko Stirling scopes are
shock- and fog proofed and feature coated lenses combined
with perfect optical calculation. Engineered, constructed and
designed for hunters and marksmen.
1. FOCUSING
CAUTION: Viewing the sun can course serious eye
injury. Never look at the sun with this product or even
with naked eye.
Turn the fast focus ring on the end of ocular in or out for
adjustment.
2. MOUNTING
CAUTION: Be sure gun is not loaded. Use safe gun
handling procedures.
Separate the tops of the rings from the bottom portion. Set the
scope in the cradles formed by the bottom portions. Replace
the tops, but don’t tighten. Rotate the scope that the elevation
turret is on top. Bench rest the rifle and place the scope until
you see the full field of view. Check altitude of the reticle. The
vertical and horizontal components should be aligned with the
bore axis. When the scope is properly positioned and the reticle
aligned with the bore axis, tighten the ring tops.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten. Overtightening can
cause damage to the scope, affecting performance or
even rendering it inoperable. There should be a slight
gap between the rings. The gaps should be even on
the left and right side of both rings.
3. PRE-ZEROING
CAUTION: Be sure gun is not loaded. Use safe gun
handling procedures.
To bore sight, remove the bolt from bolt action guns, open
other types. If you have a parallax correctable model riflescope
(see parallax corrections), rotate the parallax adjustment to the
5
50 yard position. Set zoom scopes to mid power. Rest the rifle
on a steady support and remove the windage and elevation
caps (target turrets may have no caps). Look through the bore,
from the breech at a 50 yard target. Move the butt stock to cen-
tre the target in the bore. Without disturbing the rifle, adjust
windage and elevation turrets to centre the reticle on target.
NOTE: If you have windage adjustable rings, make major
windage adjustments with them. Final adjustment can be
made with the scope’s built-in system. If the barrel has been
drilled for a mount, check that screws do not protrude in to
the bore.
4. ZEROING - WINDAGE AND ELEVATION ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: All shooting should be done at an approved
range or other safe area. Eye and ear protection is
recommended. Check if your bore is not obstructed
before proceeding. An obstruction can cause serious
damage to the gun and possible personal injury to
yourself and other nearby.
Set zoom ring to mid/highest power, parallax correctable
models to 100 yard setting. From a steady rest fire three rounds
at a 100 yard target and observe where the bullets impact.
After making your observations and marking your point of
impact (POI) make any adjustments to your scope by rotating
the elevation and windage turrets in the appropriate direction.
Each turret is clearly marked with the direction to turn it to
adjust POI accordingly.
NOTE: For scopes with specific target turrets and reset to
zero turrets please read additional manual or visit

5. ILLUMINATED RETICLES
If your scope has an electronic reticle, there are degrees of
illumination. The adjustment can be located on the top of the
eyepiece or on the saddle. The battery (included in packaging)
are coin style lithium batteries (CR2032).
6. PARALLAX CORRECTION
Scopes without parallax adjustment are usually parallax free
at 100yards. The small amount of parallax exhibited in general
6
purpose hunting scopes and at normal hunting ranges is insuf-
ficient to be of concern.
Scopes with parallax adjustment: To be parallax free, the
target image must be focused onto the reticle. This condition
can be met only at the range for which the scope is focused.
Targets that are either nearer or further away will cause paral-
lax, which is seen as apparent movement of the reticle against
the target. For precision shooting, parallax is not tolerable and
can be eliminated at all ranges by providing a user adjustable
focusing system.
NOTE: Parallax adjustment can be located on the objective
or as a turret.
7. MAINTAINANCE
The exposed optical surfaces will perform their best if they are
occasionally wiped clean with the lens cloth provided. Keep
the protective lens covers in place when the scope is not being
used.
Maintain the metal surfaces of your riflescope by removing
any dirt or sand with a soft brush to avoid scratching the finish.
Keep your rifle and scope in a dry environment if not being
used.
