BRIEF DESCRIPTION NC 3-12x50 is the daytime riflescope with variable magnification, which is designed for being used on various kinds of weapons. The Mil-dot reticle of the riflescope is positioned in the focal plane of the eyepiece (second focal plane), thus providing permanent size of the reticle regardless of the riflescope variable magnification.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Magnification, х 3 to 12 Objective lens diameter, mm Field of view, º 6.8 to 1.7 (from 11.9m to 3m @100m) Exit pupil, mm 12.5 to 4.1 Diopter adjustment +3, -3 Eye relief distance, mm Reticle battery, V CR 2032 (3 V) Battery life, h 15 to 100...
4. TYPE AND SIZE OF THE RETICLE Reticle description. The riflescope incorporates black illuminated reticle as shown on the Fig. 2. Figure 2...

The central part of the reticle represents Mil-Dot grid with added additional vertical and horizontal markings in made with variable step. Such pattern corresponds to the TMR grid. The grid has breakdown for a finer step (of 0.2 thousands of a distance) on the edges.

Method 1. Reticle segments are described in angular units as thousands of a distance or mils (1 mil). Note 1 mil represents the angular measure of a distance and constitutes: 1 mil = 1 t.d. (one thousands of a distance), = 10 sm at 100 m of a distance, = 3.438*MOA (Minute of Angle).

TABLE 3 Size in @100m distance The segments of the reticle for other magnification settings are given in the Table 4 (all numbers are measured in cm @100m). TABLE 4 Magnification, x 28.0 10.0 40.0 21.0 7.50 30.0 14.0 1.00 5.00 20.0 10.5...

Example: Let's find size of the segment (E) of the thin cross hair at 100 m distance with 8 x magnification. The specified step at 100 m distance and 12x magnification is10cm. Now we shall calculate its size at 8x magnification: E = (10 х...

Determining distance to the target (for 12х magnification only). By using the Mil-dot reticle and knowing the size of the target, it is possible to determine distance to the target with enough accuracy that is required to acquire the target (or make windage adjustment to compensate the bullet drop).

L= (H х 1000) / h, where L – distance to the target, m; H – real length (or height) of the target, m; h – number of the segments of the reticle that cover the chosen dimension of the target. Figure 3 (see also TABLE 6) The Figure 3 shows an example of distance...

5. INSTALLATION ON THE WEAPON Installation of the NC 3-12x50 on the weapon includes mounting and gluing of the fixation rings (Ø30mm) in accordance with the installation manual of the ring manufacturer. The Ø30mm fixation rings must be firmly attached to the riflescope body with a two-componential epoxy glue.
The riflescope NC 3-12х50 can be supplied with fixation mounts for exact weapon model or without them depending on the particular order. 6. BATTERY INSTALLATION The riflescope operates with one CR2032 battery. Be sure that the battery is brand new and is installed with correct polarity (“–“sign goes inside the battery compartment).
The reticle illumination turns off automatically after 30 minutes from the last pressing of the switch. Before turning off, the reticle blinks during several seconds. In order to turn the reticle illumination off manually, it is necessary to press and hold the switch during 2 seconds.
Page 23
6) If necessary, turn on the switch (6, Fig.1) to get the reticle illuminated. You should see the red illuminated outline of the reticle. Switch (6, Fig.1) also controls the reticle brightness. Riflescope is ready for operation. After operation: 1) Switch off the illumination – by returning the switch (6, Fig.1) to OFF position;...
9. ADJUSTMENT ON THE WEAPON The riflescope is equipped with tactical multi- revolving reticle adjustment mechanism. Screws of the adjustment mechanism are terminated with knobs (5, Fig.1) with the horizontal and vertical scales, which allow precise determining of the clicks and turns of the knob(s).
Page 25
7) Make 3-4 single shoots, carefully and in the same manner aiming at the target; 8) Determine grouping of shots and position of mean impact point in accordance with the shooting instructions (grouping of shots is considered normal if it falls under grouping standard for this type of weapon without a riflescope);...
Page 26
9) Make necessary adjustments, if required, according to the pictograms shown on the windage/elevation knobs.The step of one click as shown on the knobs is 10mm at 100m distance. 10) Execute a control shot and make sure that the aiming point of the riflescope coincides with a hit point of the bullet (perform adjustments once again, if necessary);...
STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE Protect the riflescope from direct impacts. If there is dirt on optical surfaces, wipe optics with clean cloth. Do not use corrosive liquids such as Acetone for riflescope cleaning (wiping with Alcohol is allowed). Long-tem storage and transportation of the riflescope should be performed in a transportation case with objective and eyepiece covers closed for protection and without a battery.
TROUBLESHOOTING Unit does not focus. Rotate the eyepiece as described above in this manual. If the riflescope cannot be focused, wipe optical components with a clean optical cloth. Illumination of the reticle is not working. Make sure the battery is installed correctly and not discharged.
