How to Install a Riflescope
The assembly of a riflescope requires a lot of experience, if you do not want to damage the riflescope itself and the rifle.
First of all, the attachment points must be identified so that the ocular is located about 8 cm from the shooter eye.
In a weapon not only the butt but also the weapon system sight must be placed to fit perfectly to the size and manner of take up and aim of the shooter.
It is not the shooter that should fit the weapon, but vice versa.
For example, if the shooter uses the weapon to shoot lying down, you must consider that the head is close to the telescope more than in other positions.
Having identified the distance, the weapon connection points should be fixed accordingly.
If the connection points are two it is essential that the telescope engages in them without any tension or twist, but always ensuring the complete lack of clearance.
The ability of the assembler can be evaluated if, once the riflescope is assembled, it requires a minimum of adjustment on the reticle.
Typically, the assembly is made sighting the bull's-eye through the barrel or, if present, with rear and front sights and then focus the riflescope on the same point.
Of course in this phase you can take into account the trajectory deviation from the line of sight, the so called zero distance.
Who does not have enough space to put the target at one hundred meters can reset the weapon to short DOA or can use those Tasco collimators which are inserted into the barrel with a plug simulating a zero virtual target distance.
The riflescope is mounted generally in a way that its optical axis is 4.
5 cm above the axis of the barrel.
This height is not in itself critical as the more the riflescope is installed high, the more it extends the optimal distance of zero.
However, if the weapon is used to shoot the animal in motion it is recommended to install it in a lower position that favors a low instinctual posture for better aiming.
Without this, an expert shooter can tune the weapon with three or four test shots turning the knobs of the reticle.
Typically a click of the knob corresponds to a shift of a cm on the target at 100 meters.
The reticle is composed of thin wires inside the telescope, or a glass plate on which it is engraved.
The fine wire reticle is fine in good lighting conditions, but is unsuitable in the twilight when in fact you can see better reticle bars.
