To mount the Nikon Prostaff P3 Target EFR, ensure the rifle is securely placed on a stable surface. Use rings and bases compatible with the scope's tube size, usually 1 inch. Mount the rings on the rifle, position the scope in the rings, and adjust for eye relief before tightening the screws evenly.
Set up a target at your desired zeroing distance. Use the windage and elevation turrets to adjust the crosshairs until your point of aim matches the point of impact. This usually involves shooting a group, observing the impact point, and making incremental adjustments.
Ensure the objective lens is clean. Adjust the focus ring on the eyepiece until the reticle appears sharp. Check for parallax error by moving your head side to side; the reticle should remain on target without shifting.
Use a soft brush or air blower to remove dust. Clean lenses with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner, applied sparingly. Store the scope in a dry, cool place when not in use, and ensure lens caps are on to prevent scratches.
Internal fogging can occur if the nitrogen purging is compromised. Ensure all seals are intact. If fogging persists, contact Nikon support for inspection or repair. External fogging can be reduced by using anti-fog wipes or covers.
The Nikon Prostaff P3 Target EFR is designed with a parallax adjustment feature that typically ranges from 10 yards to infinity, allowing for precise shooting at various distances.
Yes, the Nikon Prostaff P3 Target EFR features fully multi-coated optics that enhance light transmission, making it suitable for use in low light conditions like dawn or dusk.
The turrets can be adjusted by removing the protective caps and turning them in the direction indicated for elevation (up/down) and windage (left/right). Each click typically represents 1/4 MOA adjustment.
Ensure the scope mounts and rings are securely fastened to the rifle. Check for any movement or play. Re-tighten the screws if necessary and ensure the rifle's recoil isn't affecting the scope's position.
Yes, the Nikon Prostaff P3 Target EFR is designed to be waterproof and shockproof, featuring O-ring seals and nitrogen purging to withstand harsh conditions and recoil.
