Adjustments Diopter Adjustment The diopter adjustment, more commonly known as the reticle focus, is used to focus the reticle to the individual shooter s eye. Focusing the Reticle 1. Rotate the fast-focus eyepiece clockwise until it stops. 2. Look through the scope at a blank wall or clear sky. This is necessary so your eye does not naturally attempt to focus on an object you are aiming at, rather than focusing solely on the reticle. 3. Slowly rotate the fast-focus eyepiece counter-clockwise until the reticle appears as focused and clear as possible. 2
Diopter Adjustment 4. Without the scope, look at surrounding objects allowing your eye to rest and adjust back to normal conditions. This is necessary because your eye will naturally try to compensate for an out-of-focus reticle while you are trying to focus it with the dioptric adjustment. 5. Quickly bring the scope up to your eye, still aiming at the blank wall or clear sky, to confirm the reticle appears clear and focused. If it still appears fuzzy or out-of-focus, repeat steps 2-5. Tip The dioptric adjustment has no effect on target clarity, it is used to focus the reticle only. It is not necessary to readjust the diopter each time you use the scope. The only time it will be necessary to re-adjust is if your eyesight changes. 3
Magnification Adjustment The magnification ring, also known as the power selector, is used to adjust the amount of magnification the scope provides at one time. To adjust the magnification or power, simply rotate the magnification ring to the desired position. Included with the scope, are (3) interchangeable throwlevers measuring 5mm, 10mm and 15mm in length, giving the shooter the ability to pick which is best for their setup. The interchangeable throwlevers thread directly into the magnification ring to help the shooter change magnification quickly and seamlessly. Magnification Adjustment 4
Elevation Adjustment The elevation adjustment is used to adjust the bullet s point-of-impact (POI) up or down. The adjustment value per click and direction are marked on the top face of the turret. To adjust POI up, rotate the turret counter-clockwise. To adjust POI down, rotate the turret clockwise. Windage Adjustment The windage adjustment is used to adjust the bullet s point of impact (POI) left or right. The adjustment value per click and direction are marked on the face of the turret. To adjust POI to the left, rotate the windage turret clockwise. To adjust POI to the right, rotate the windage turret counter-clockwise. 5
Re-Zeroing the Turrets 1. Loosen the (3) hex- head screws located on the rim of the turret. Completely removing these screws from the turret is not necessary. Approximately one turn on each screw will disengage turret from internal adjustment post. The turret should spin freely with no clicks. 2. Rotate the turret until 0 is aligned with zero reference Set Screw line on scope body. 3. While applying slight downward pressure on turret, evenly tighten the (3) set screws. Do not over tighten. Using your thumb and forefinger to hold the short end of wrench while tightening will supply sufficient torque. 6
Illumination Control Assembly The illumination control assembly is the turret module located on the left side of the riflescope. It consists of the illumination adjustment, battery compartment and spare battery compartment. Each compartment is separated and waterproof. The illumination adjustment, also known as the rheostat, is used to adjust the brightness of the illuminated section in the reticle. To adjust the illumination brightness, simply rotate the adjustment knob counter-clockwise to decrease brightness and clockwise to increase brightness. The brightness settings are marked with corresponding ng numbers 1-10. (10 is the brightest, 1 is the dimmest.) The dots between each of the numbers are OFF positions. If there is a certain setting you use most of the time, you can rotate just one click to an OFF position and just one click back to your preferred setting. Illumination Control 7
Using the Reticle Ranging The SS 1-4X24IR riflescope utilizes a Mil-based reticle and provides the shooter with accurate target distances utilizing the target ranging references. The ranging references can be used to range objects 72, 36, or 24 tall, as well as any object 18 wide. This gives you the ability to range objects such as human silhouette-sized targets, IPSC silhouettes, deer, hogs and even coyotes. Bracket > Divide > Range 36 TALL TARGET (RANGE / 2) 24 TALL TARGET (RANGE / 3) Bracket > Range 72 TALL TARGET 18 WIDE TARGET 200 200 200 200 300 300 300 300 400 500 600 800 400 500 600 800 400 500 600 800 400 500 600 800 = 300 YARDS = 200 YARDS = 200 YARDS = 300 YARDS 8
The second focal plane, Illuminated Mil-Quad DM reticle, gives the shooter better target acquisition in CQB scenarios while maintaining the ability to range and provide aiming points at max magnification. The new Illuminated Mil-Quad DM Reticle has integrated aiming points for 100, 200, and 300 yards for most 5.56 and 7.62 rounds. 9
Using the Reticle There are a few different ways the reticle can be utilized. Examples are listed in the following pages. Aiming Points Example 1 Zero the center dot in the reticle at 200 yards. and utilize the top of the diamond for the 100 yard aiming point and the bottom of the diamond for the 300 yard aiming point. The actual point of impact vs. point of aim: M852 7.62 168 Grain @ 2600 FPS.35 Mils Low @ 100 yards, Zero 200 yards,.05 Mils High at 300 yards M80 7.62 147 Grain @ 2850 FPS.45 Mils Low @ 100 yards, Zero 200 yards,.15 Mils High at 300 yards M118LR 7.62 175 Grain @ 2600 FPS.35 Mils Low @ 100 yards, Zero 200 yards,.05 Mils High at 300 yards M193 5.56 55 Grain @ 3100 FPS.55 Mils Low @ 100 yards, Zero 200 yards,.15 Mils High at 300 yards M855 5.56 62 Grain @ 3000 FPS.55 Mils Low @ 100 yards, Zero 200 yards,.15 Mils High at 300 yards 10

Maintenance The SS 1-4x24 riflescope requires very little maintenance besides occasionally cleaning the lenses or replacing the illumination battery. The scope s exterior can be wiped down with a clean, dry cloth when necessary. Lens Cleaning Never use household glass/all-purpose cleaners! Use high-quality glass cleaning solution and a lens cloth or lens pen. Using anything other than lens cleaning products can cause permanent damage to lenses. Remove any dirt or debris from lenses before cleaning. You can blow it out with your breath or, if necessary, low-pressure compressed air. Wiping lenses that have dirt/debris on them can cause permanent damage. Start with a small amount of lens cleaning solution and wipe lens in a circular motion. Increase the amount of solution and repeat if necessary. 16
Maintenance Lubrication All moving adjustments have been permanently lubricated at the factory. Lubrication of the scope s components is not necessary. Battery Replacement The illuminated reticle is powered by a CR2032 battery. To replace the battery, unscrew the battery module cap, replace battery and screw module cap back on. When installing new battery, be sure the flat, shiny side of battery Spare Battery is facing out. The outer compartment Compartment of the battery module assembly is used to safely store an extra battery. Battery Compartment Illumination Adjustment 17
TroubleShooting Rifle won t sight in because scope won t adjust any more. The most common cause of this is a mounting issue, not a scope issue. Check all mounting hardware to ensure everything is tight and in good condition. This problem can also occur when the scope is mounted too far above the bore s axis. The SS 1-4X24IR riflescope has been optimized for use on AR-Style platforms. It is recommended to mount the center axis of the scope 1.5 above the mounting rail for the best performance. The turrets spin freely and do not click when adjusting. Although it is very uncommon, it is not impossible for the turret set screws to become loose over time. Make sure the screws located around the outside rim of the turret are tight. See Re-Zeroing the Turrets section on page 4 for instructions on resetting the turret. 18
Warranty The SS riflescope line is backed by a very simple lifetime warranty: if your SS riflescope ever becomes damaged or defective, under normal use, we will repair or replace it. That s all there is to it! No registration card or proof of purchase needed. It doesn t even matter if you are the first or tenth owner, you can be confident your purchase is backed by the same great service and guarantee as the day it left the factory. The SS warranty does not cover loss, theft or intentional damage. 19
