3. Instructions

(1) Inserting the battery and adjusting the illumination intensity

CAUTION: When installing batteries, make sure the rearm is unloaded. Use safe rearm handling

practices at all times.

The IL models (illuminated reticle models) are powered by one 3V lithium battery (CR2032). When your reticle ashes or does not light,

you need to replace the battery.

How to insert the battery

1 Hold the rheostat intensity dial tightly and turn the battery-chamber cover 1 counter-clockwise with the battery-chamber

cover opener 2 (Fig. 3-1).

2 Insert one 3V lithium battery 3 into the chamber with the positive (+) side facing up (Fig. 3-2).

3 Put the cover back and turn it clockwise with the battery-chamber cover opener until the cover is rmly secured.

Fig. 3-1 Fig. 3-2

How to adjust the illumination intensity

Turn the rheostat intensity dial to the desired intensity* (Fig.3-3).

When not in use, be sure to set the dial to (OFF).

Illumination will automatically turn o after approximately 2 hours of non-operation.

* The illumination intensity is available in 10 steps. When you rotate the rheostat intensity dial, the illumination intensity changes in the

order of 1, OFF, 2, OFF, 3, OFF...10, OFF.

•

The IL models come with a 3V lithium battery (CR2032).

•

Replace the battery if your riescope is ever submerged in water or if water enters the battery chamber.

(2) Focusing

1 Look through the eyepiece with your eye positioned about 4 in. (10 cm) away from the eyepiece to see the reticle (Fig. 3-4).

Be sure your eye is positioned with proper alignment and with proper eye relief, otherwise the view will “black out.”

2 Point the objective end of the scope at the sky (do NOT point it at the sun) or at a plain unpatterned wall.

3 Turn the eyepiece adjustment counter-clockwise and then turn it clockwise until the reticle appears sharp.

Notice: Reticle images shown in this manual are representation only. Actual images may vary.

(3) Magnication

•Nikonriescopeshavevariablemagnication.Fordetails,see“2.Specications”.

To change powers, rotate the power selector ring until the desired magnication appears adjacent to the power index.

(4) Adjustment of the riescope

Sighting through the riescope, align the rie with your aiming point on the target and shoot a trial round. If the bullet does not hit the aiming point, adjust the elevation and windage adjustment turrets as follows:

•

If the bullet hits under the aiming point, turn the elevation adjustment turret (counter-clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “U” for up. If the bullet hits high, turn the elevation adjustment turret (clock-

wise) in the direction of the arrow marked “D” for down.

•

If the bullet hits to the right of the aiming point, turn the windage adjustment turret (clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “L” for left. If the bullet hits to the left of the aiming point, turn the windage

adjustment turret (counter-clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “R” for right.

Note:

•

The windage and elevation scales of the riescope are calibrated in divisions of 1/4 minute of angle (MOA) with a click at intervals of 1/4 minute of angle (1 division).

•

When adjusting the reticle to the point of aim, remember that 1 minute of angle (MOA) equals approximately 1 in. (2.54 cm) at 100 yd. (91.44 m).

Therefore, if the impact point is 2 in. (5.08 cm) low and 1 in. (2.54 cm) right at 100 yd. (91.44 m) parallax setting, you should adjust 2 minutes of angle up and 1 minute of angle left.

In the case of 50 yd. (45.72 m) parallax setting, the adjusting value is 2×. In the case of 75 yd. (68.58 m) parallax setting, the adjusting value is 1.5×.

(5) Zero resetting of adjustment turret

After the reticle has been adjusted to match the point of impact, perform the steps described below for each adjustment turret to reset the turret to zero.

1. Loosen the screw on the turret using the included hex key (1).

2. Align the zero number to the index line (2) and tighten the screw.

3. Replace the turret cap.

4. Tips for using tactical reticles

The FORCE-MOA reticle (Fig. 4-1) was designed for both reaction-speed target acquisition and engagement, and for intermediate-to-long-range

target holdovers using the hash mark aiming points extending beneath the center dot and extended crosshair. As with any tactical reticle, the more

information you have regarding the ballistics of your cartridge, the environmental factors and other variables, the better you will be able to use the

various features designed into the FORCE-MOA. These variables include:

•BulletConfigurationandBallisticCoefficient(B.C.)

•ActualVelocity(Ammunitionmanufacturers’informationinregards

to muzzle velocity may or may not match the velocity your firearm

produces. The best way to determine the actual muzzle velocity for your

firearm is to use a chronograph.)

•AmbientTemperature

•Humidity

•Altitude

•BarometricPressure

•Inherentaccuracyofthefirearm

•Thescopemountingsystemandhowtrueitpositionstheoptictothe

centerline of the bore

By using ballistic software, such as Nikon Spot On or one of the many other ballistic apps available, you will be able to eectively determine precise reticle hold points for any load and any distance by using the above

informationasitrelatestothereticle’sMOAsubtensionsandyourparticularsituation.Remember,itisvitalthatyourriescope—andthusthereticle—ismountedtobecompletelyleveland“squared”totheactionof

The FORCE-MOA reticle

The FORCE-MOA is a multi-function, glass-etched reticle designed to enable continuous momentum shooting

from target to target, and thus excels in close-to-medium range engagements. When the riescope is set at

itslowest1×magnication,thereticle’silluminatedcenterdotservesasaquickreferenceforcenteringonthe

targetwithbotheyesopen,similartoareddotsight.At6×,thereticle’slowerhashmarksprovideholdover

points for longer known ranges as determined through the calculations of your ballistic table or app. (Fig. 4-2,

4-3, 4-4).

Keepingthereticle’svariousreferencepointsandhashmarksinmind,split-secondrangeestimatescan

be made easily for shooting both up-close at 1× or at longer ranges using the full 6× magnication*. By

knowingyourtarget’ssizeyoucanusetheFORCE-MOAtoestimaterange,andforotherapplicationssuchas

holdovers, windage hold-os and moving target leads.

all holdover corrections, ranging and other measurements using the indicated reticle subtensions should be

done at 6×. (Fig . 4-2, 4-3, 4-4)

Using FORCE-MOA for wind hold

The BLACK FORCE100 Riescope utilizes capped adjustment turrets to prevent inadvertent movements during competition or rugged, active use. For

this reason, the FORCE-MOA reticle was designed for fast elevation or windage correction on the initial shot, as well as on any follow-up shots. When

adjusting for wind hold using the reticle, you can use the various subtensions between the center dot and outboard gaps and hash marks on the

reticle’shorizontalwirelikearulertohelpreferenceyourspeciedpoint.Forexample,ifthewindspeedvaluehasyouholding6MOAleft,youwillbe

using the rst vertical hash mark to the right of the center dot as your aiming point (Fig. 4-5).

If you are using the reticle for elevation correction as well as for wind hold, you can establish an aiming point by referencing both the proper vertical

wire circle or hash mark and horizontal reference points, and then visualize the target placement where these points would intersect in the lower right

quadrant of the reticle, as shown (Fig. 4-6).

Using FORCE-MOA for moving target leads

Moving target leads are very similar to wind holds, although typically much more dicult to master. Instead of “holding into the wind,” you will be

“holding in front of the target” (Fig. 4-7). There are various methods to mathematically calculate the target lead (such as multiplying the bullet ight

time to your target by the speed of the target) to determine the lead as it applies to the various reticle subtend points, and then choosing the correct

hold point.
