You're about to join those who have long revered MINOX as an exceptional value in performance sport optics ­ that rare, understated blend of extraordinary features, quality, and durability for a surprisingly affordable investment. This user guide is intended to provide you with the information you need to take full advantage of the many features we've built into your MINOX ZA 3 or ZA 5 riflescope.

Sight through the bore and position the center of your target inside the barrel. Hold the rifle steady, keeping the bull's eye centered inside the barrel. Make Windage and Elevation Adjustments to the scope until the bull's eye is centered on the reticle. Sighting-In Preliminary Bore-Sighting If using a bore-sighter, follow the instrument manufacturer's instructions. Bore-sighting lets you get "on target" before you begin actual shooting, saving time and ammunition. 14 Note: For lever action rifles, use an inexpensive device designed for bore-sighting through the chamber or magazine follower. Final Three-Shot Groups After bore-sighting is complete, fine tune accuracy by firing three-shot groups from a steady rest. Fire one or two shots and make an adjustment if you are several inches off center. Using the center of that group for reference, determine how far you are left or right/above or below the bull's eye. Make necessary corrections using the Windage and Elevation Adjustments. Note: each audible click of the adjustment knob will change the point-of-impact ¼" at 100 yards. (Model ZA 5 4-20x50 has adjustments of 1/8" at 100 yards). Carefully fire another three-shot group and repeat from step three until shots are at the desired center point-of-impact. Note: Once the desired point-of-impact has been achieved, both the Elevation and Windage knobs can be reset to "zero" by loosening the knobs (using the provided Allen wrench) and adjusting the knobs back to the zero position. Once tightened, the adjustments can now be utilized to "dial" desired "hold off" to 15 compensate for bullet drop and distance or bullet drift due to wind.
