To mount the Nikon P Tactical Rimfire scope, first ensure that your rifle is unloaded. Use a compatible set of scope rings, attach them to the rail, and then secure the scope in place. Adjust for eye relief and ensure the reticle is level before tightening the screws to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
To zero the scope, start by setting up a target at a known distance, commonly 50 yards for rimfire rifles. Use a stable shooting platform, fire a group, and then adjust the windage and elevation turrets until the point of impact matches the point of aim. Confirm zero by firing additional groups.
The Nikon P Tactical Rimfire scope features a side parallax adjustment. To adjust, look through the scope and turn the parallax knob until the target image is sharp and there is no apparent movement of the reticle against the target when you move your head slightly.
If the reticle appears blurry, adjust the eyepiece focus ring until the reticle is sharp to your vision. This adjustment should be made while looking at a plain background to avoid distraction from the target image.
To maintain the lenses, use a soft brush or air blower to remove dust, followed by a lens cleaning solution and microfiber cloth for smudges. Avoid using paper products or rough fabrics that can scratch the lenses.
Ensure that all mounting hardware is tightened to proper specifications. Check for loose screws on the scope and mounts. If the problem persists, inspect the scope for internal damage or consult with a professional gunsmith.
Store the scope in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use lens covers to protect the glass and avoid exposure to moisture, which can cause fogging or mold growth.
Yes, the Nikon P Tactical Rimfire scope is designed to be waterproof and fog proof. It is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to prevent moisture ingress and ensure clarity in various weather conditions.
To clean the exterior, use a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. Ensure that water does not enter the turrets or eyepiece.
If the adjustments are not responsive, first check that the turrets are not locked. If they are free, but still unresponsive, the scope may need professional servicing. Contact Nikon support for further assistance.
