- Page 3 GEN II PRISM SCOPE WITH PATENTED .223/5.56, 5.45X39, .308 ACSS ® RETICLE Due to this scope’s internal prism design, when viewed at certain angles and distances the reticle may appear canted (tilted to the left or right). Each individual scope has been checked for correct reticle presentation and illumination.
- Page 4 ACHIEVING A CLEAR RETICLE PICTURE Setting the adjustable diopter ring (E) at the rear of the eyepiece is a critical first step to successful precision shooting. Looking at a featureless light background like a clear blue sky or blank wall, the reticle should appear sharp and crisp. If it does not, you need to adjust by turning the diopter ring (E).
- Page 5 RETICLE ILLUMINATION The illumination knob on the top of the scope is marked with numbers of increasing brightness from 1 to 5 in each direction from 0 or “off”. There are two “off” settings, divided between 5 red partial illumination settings and 5 green partial illumination settings.
- Page 6 THE REMOVABLE BASE AND SPACER Thread locker is recommended on the base and accessory rail screws. The 3mm hex base screws may be removed for use with AR-15 carry handle upper receivers in conjunction with our Steel Knurled Head Thumb Screw, part no: 92581A320. The 5x Prism Scope features a removable spacer in between the base and the scope body.
- Page 7 GETTING TO KNOW ® THE ACSS RETICLE The ACSS (Advanced Combined ® Sighting System) is a giant leap forward in reticle design that uses bullet drop compensation correlated with range estimation, wind and moving target leads in one simple to use system. The ACSS reticle increases first hit ratio and decreases time on target dramatically.
- Page 8 DIALING IN FOR YOUR BARREL LENGTH AND AMMUNITION Using a bipod or sandbags, preferably on a bench or in the prone position, adjust your turrets to dial in your point of impact to the center dot. Each click is 0.33 MOA, or 0.33 inch at 100 yards. Your point of impact will vary depending on type of ammunition, barrel length, and altitude above sea level.
- Page 9 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BULLET DROP COMPENSATION (BDC) Gravity will affect your bullet’s trajectory (or path). The BDC ladder starts at the center dot and finishes at the 800 yard mark indicated by the number (8). Simply aim using the hash mark that coincides with the range to target.
- Page 10 UNDERSTANDING THE WIND AND BULLET DRIFT Notice the 5mph wind hold dots aligned with the BDC. Wind will cause the bullet to drift left or right depending on wind direction. Understanding wind is important, as even a 2mph wind at a 90 degree angle to the bullet’s path can cause the bullet to drift over 10”...
- Page 11 LEADING YOUR TARGET The average target moves at 8.6 mph. The “lead dots” are set for a target moving at a 90-degree angle to the shooter. Depending on the direction of the target’s movement, fire using the “lead dots” instead of the center dot in red.
- Page 12 HOW TO RANGE YOUR TARGET ACSS automatic ranging greatly reduces the time between spotting the target through the scope and firing a correctly aimed shot. There is NO need to run data, do math, or physically adjust the scope’s settings. Wrong range estimation is the number one reason shots are missed—ACSS directly addresses this issue! Knowing the proper range of your target is crucial in order to use the right hold on the BDC.

- Page 15 LENS CARE Please do not use any organic solvent such as alcohol or acetone on your scope. First, blow dust or any foreign objects off of the lens. Then, use a soft cotton or microfiber lens cloth to clean any fingerprints or smears off the lens. Alternatively, you may use a piece of professional lens paper for further cleaning, if necessary.
