After its mounted, fire the weapon at the target and use the crosshair adjustments to bring the sights to where the gun is firing. It took me about 5 to 10 shots at 30 yds to get it dialed in. So really your just moving the sights to where the gun is firing. Also it will depend on the max range that you want to be accurate at. I only have my ar set for 150 ft but, with that scope my shots are on top of each other every time.

There is no range finder. It's simply a scope. With fixed sights on top of it. Simple screw driver adjustment from what I remember. Even though it was fairly cheap, it's pretty decent.

For the price it's a good scope I got it on my ar 15 and it dial up prefect no complaints

Sean,I havent had an oppertunity to try it on my -10 but a sight is a sight. However, the way you zero it for your weapon changes. I think the Matech website gives the instructions for differnt weapons

For one thing, you get significantly better light gathering capability, extending your hunting time. A few years back, my daughter and I were deer hunting in a blind late one afternoon. I was using a cheaper scope on my 30-06 and she had my .308 with a recently purchased Leopold. It was getting late and I couldn't see well enough to take a good shot, so I told her it was time to go. She said "No Dad, I can see fine!" She handed me her rifle and I was amazed at the difference. After that, I have only bought Leopold scopes.

To focus just turn the adjustment ring where your eye looks into in the rear of the unit just like any other scope. If your unit doesn't line up perfectly inside the magnifier and the red dot you are using that is what the nob on top of the unit is for, but I recommend not messing with it, as the magnifier comes zeroed straight from the factory. I own 3 of these and wish I had then during the early years of the fights in Iraq. I have 2 on 2 ARs and 1 on one of my scar 17S. Of course I use eotech with them and didn't have to adjust either magnifier. Hope this helps

I don't know quite how to answer you as I found this scope difficult to work with. It has the clear flat area at the bottom and it is hard to view items using that flat area on top of the item. It is hard to focus since the viewing area is small. I then put the items in the open area on clear bottom and it was better to see the item but all in all I was unimpressed with this item. There are little dials to assist with the focusing. I needed it for viewing gemstones but it was not useful for tha as it didn't show the detail I needed and didn't give me enough of a viewing area.

no manual exists that i know of. it is predisposed that the buyer has a basic knowledge of how to 'sight in' a weapon when using a 'more advanced' sight. the ONLY thing that MUST BE DONE is 'LOOSEN' THE 2 REAR SCREWS BEFORE ADJUSTING FOR ELEVATION & WINDAGE. - THAN RETIGHTEN THEM. RON HERMS

Did you install the rear sight? If so, how did everything turn out? Do the front and rear sights line up and provide accuracy? I have the 590A1 and am looking forward having this kit installed. thx for the feedback.

I borrowed a MGW sight tool from a friend of mine. I was easy to use. The tool is on the expensive side at $99 but a quality piece.

Shouldn't it be in the box? Actually the use is quite self explanatory. 1. The switch: forward = incidental light, backward = transmitted light, middle = off 2. Lens touret: Rotate to 2x or 4x positions till it clicks into position. 3. Eye pieces: Two sets of eye pieces 10x or 20x. Loosen the small retaining screw on the side to change the eye pieces. 4. Open or close the eye pieces so you only have one picture with both eyes open. Cover the adjustable eye piece, and adjust the focus knob till the picture is at the sharpest in the other eye piece. Switch the cover to the non adjustable eye piece, look through the adjustable eye piece and adjust this eye piece till the picture is sharpest. Now you have adjusted the scope for both eyes and will not make your brain work any harder than it has to. My most enjoyable moments: share my learning with my grandsons.

If you can't find the manual online, go to You Tube and do a search on your model microscope. Omax has some great videos on there that expain all you need to know about your scope, plus some tips on how to use it. I found them more helpful than the manual anyway. I'm sure you can also download the manual from the Omax site too, but definitly check out them videos. Hope this helps.

Great choice, they just quick clamp right onto a picatinny. No experience with a magnifier tho, but hand down the quickest acquisition of anything I've owned, even better than the acogs IMO

Well, yes and no. Both will work, and some people prefer one, some the other. Personally I find it's best to have *both* an finder like this and a "red dot" or "crosshair" non-magnifying finder (like the EZ Finder II; I use a Rigel Quickfinder myself). The non-magnifying finders are very quick and easy for pointing at or near visible objects. Finders like this are a little bit harder to get your initial bearings, but once you know where you're pointing it's then easy to start hunting. I usually start with my non-magnifying finder, and then switch to the optical finder as needed. The optical finder is best for fainter objects not close to any obvious brighter stars.

Start with lower magnification eyepiece(20mm). During the day practice on focusing on large objects. It's also the way to align the red dot finder. I bought this scope for my grandson . He loves it

Directions were stuck up in the lid on mine. Look closely up there.The small set screw on the lower part of the left side is a lock screw. Loosen it before making any windage or elevation changes and tighten it when you are done. Clicks are 1 MOA. Make sure you get the reticle setting clicked solidly in place too. It will mess up the zero if you do not have it in the center.

I have never got my digital ranger to work. I bought it used on Amazon. The batteries I put in there are regular batteries. I am sorry, what are NiMH batteries and where can I buy them? I would love to have my night vision goggles work. Going to Contact in the Desert in Joshua Tree soon to look at the sky. Do you know of a repair store I can take these? Thanks

Sorry to hear about your owner's manual situation. The owner's manual contains a wealth of information which includes the assembly of the base, mounting the spotter scope, focus and care. Anyway, I've really enjoyed my telescope but would suggest wanting until Orion sends you a copy of the owners manual before proceeding. It will be worth the extra wait.

I'm fairly new the AR platform and both of mine were optic ready w/ no sights. Sorry i couldn't help.
