The Subtension Scale: MIL or MOA:

Depending on which version you have purchased, your SH-4 rifle scope will feature elevation/windage adjustments and reticles scaled in either MOA or MRAD (MIL). If you are unsure of which scale you have, reference the top of the elevation turret. Both unit of arc scales are effective at ranging and/or adjusting for bullet trajectory. For best results, the user must understand either system being employed. We recommend understanding both.

MRAD (Milliradian): 1/1000th of 1 radian of arc
1 MIL = 3.438 MOA
1 MIL = 3.599 inches @ 100 yards
1/10 MIL = 0.359 inches @ 100 yards

Reticle Focus Adjustment:
To adjust reticle focus, rotate the Reticle Focus Ring while looking at an unobstructed background. The eye will continually refocus, so this should be done in short bursts. Look away between each djustment. The reticle should be sharp and should not appear to move with small head adjustments. Once roperly set, the eye should not have to work to get the eticle in focus.

Parallax Adjustment:
To eliminate parallax, rotate the Parallax Adjustment Turret. Proper adjustment will liminate all reticle movement within the eye box.

Variable Power Adjustment:
To obtain the desired magnification, otate the Magnification Ring so that the indicator on the Ring corresponds with the magnification power evel on the ocular housing.

Arken Zero Stop (AZS) & Turret Alignment
The Arken Zero Stop (AZS) allows the shooter to quickly and consistently return the elevation turret back to the sight in distance (or zero). Please use the 2mm Allen wrench to loosen the AZS Set Screw on the elevation turret and raise the AZS Zero Stop.

Elevation:

  1. ‘Slip’ Elevation turret:
    Hold the turret in place to ensure the turret does not move during this rocess. Please use the 2mm allen wrench to loosen the THREE turret cap retaining screws on the SIDE of the turret. This will allow the turret to spin freely without rotating the internal components of the turret.
  1. Set Turret to Zero “0”:
    Rotate the turret cap to align the “0” indicatormark of the turret cap with the indicator mark on the scope tube. Carefully, tighten the THREE retaining screws on the SIDE ofthe elevation turret cap.
  1. Set the AZS (Arken Zero Stop)
    Rotate the turret UP2 clicks. Gently, turn the AZSlocated on TOP of the elevation turret clockwise to lower until you feel the AZS bottom out. Then, loosen the AZS a quarter turn to alleviate any tension. Finally, tighten the AZS Set Screw againstthe AZS.
  1. Rotate the turret back to Zero “0”.
    AZSISSET. You should have a firmstop that allows you to consistently return to zero.

Windage:

  1. ‘Slip’ Windage Turret:
    Unscrew Windage cap.
  2. Unscrew Toolless Windage Retention System:
    Hold the turret in place to ensure the turret does not move during this process.
  3. Set Turret to Zero “0”:
    Slide off the numbered cap. otate/align the “0” indicator mark of the numbered cap with the indicator mark on the scope tube and slide back on the main body.
  4. Screw in Toolless Windage Retention System finger tight:
    Hold the turret in place to ensure the turret does not move during this process.
