Complete Guide to Scope Sighting and Calibration

1. Installation and Calibration:First, mount the scope onto the mount, ensuring it is level and the front and rear heights are consistent. After installation, set the magnification to the lowest setting and adjust the parallax to 50. Keep your eye about 8 centimeters away from the scope to prevent injury from recoil.

Target Selection: Choose a suitable target for shooting. For example, if the range accuracy of a slingshot is 25 meters, select a target at 15-20 meters for calibration. Ensure the impact points are consistent and not scattered, making it easier to adjust the scope.

Wall Shooting: Aim the scope at a wall and shoot three impact points, observing the deviation of the crosshairs. If the impact points are below the center of the crosshairs, rotate the adjustment knob counterclockwise, making small adjustments each time and reshooting until the impact points hit the center of the crosshairs.

Parallax Adjustment: Parallax refers to the blurred image that occurs when your eye views the target. After adjusting the magnification, if you see double crosshairs or ghosting, you need to adjust the parallax. Typically, for 4-6x scopes, adjust to around 50; for 6-8x scopes, adjust to 75-100; and for 8-16x scopes, adjust to 300. Choose a parallax value that suits you, based on what your eye sees most clearly.

Quick Focus: Simulate the bullet's trajectory drop and adjust the zoom ring according to the bullet's impact point. Adjust the coordinate left and right, and up and down, as well as the light adjustment, to ensure quick focus.

By following these steps, you can easily calibrate your scope and improve shooting accuracy.

Since FORESEEN OPTICS produced its first simple 4×32 rifle scope in 1991, we have understood two core principles.

First, a scope should not be viewed as an isolated product, but rather as an accessory to a firearm, designed to adapt to different firearms, accommodate various types of ammunition, and ensure that projectiles accurately hit the target. Therefore, to create a scope that truly meets market demands, one must go beyond the scope itself and gain an in-depth understanding of different shooting scenarios and processes to determine the category, specifications, and functions of the scope.

Second, producing high-quality rifle scopes requires the integration of multiple technologies, including robust optical design, precision structural engineering, advanced processing equipment, and skilled assembly techniques. Only through the synergistic effect of these elements can an ideal rifle scope be presented to customers.
