Both models feature high-quality optics with fully multicoated lenses, waterproof and fog-proof construction, and precise reticle adjustments for shooting accuracy. The main difference is that the FS-MRAD uses a milliradian-based reticle, while the FS-MOA uses a minute of angle-based reticle.
Ensure you have the correct mounting rings for the rifle scope’s tube diameter. Securely attach the rings to the rifle’s base, align the scope, and tighten the ring screws evenly. Verify the reticle is level before finalizing the installation.
Begin by mounting the scope and firing a test group at a known distance. Use the adjustment turrets to move the point of impact to the desired zero. Make small, calculated adjustments and recheck until the scope is accurately zeroed.
Clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth or lens cleaning solution. Avoid using rough materials that can scratch the lens. Regularly check and clean any dust or dirt to ensure optimal clarity and performance.
If the interior of the scope fogs, this indicates a sealing issue. The scope is waterproof and nitrogen-filled to prevent fogging. Contact Nikon support for repair or replacement if fogging occurs internally.
Yes, both models are designed with fully multicoated optics to enhance light transmission, making them suitable for use in low-light conditions such as dawn or dusk.
The reticle focus can be adjusted using the eyepiece focus ring. Look at a plain background and turn the eyepiece until the reticle appears sharp and clear.
MRAD reticles are typically used for metric system users and facilitate easier calculations for range estimation and holdover. MOA reticles are often preferred by shooters familiar with the imperial system. The choice depends on personal preference and familiarity.
Check for proper scope mounting, ensure the rifle stock is secure, and verify that the ammunition used is consistent. Environmental factors and shooter technique should also be considered when troubleshooting shot placement issues.
Regularly inspect your scope for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the lenses as needed and check the mounting for tightness after each shooting session. An annual maintenance check is recommended.
