Q: Whats the best way to zero my scope?
A: We suggest using a white circle about 50mm dia on a black background for most accurate zeroing. For convenience all our scopes can be rough zeroed during the day with the lens cap in place and final check zeroed at night. The exeption to this is the SM-3S2 DN (Day/Night) scope which can be fully zeroed during the daytime in 'Day' mode just as you would a conventional scope.
Q: How much will I be able to see through my scope?
A: This depends on the generation, ambient light available, magnification, illumination used and other factors such as mist or rain.
Q: How do I mount the scope to my rifle?
A: The scope uses a Weaver mount. If your rifle has the M4 holes in the receiver you can simply attach the supplied base. If not you can either have a gunsmith drill and tap the holes or purchase one of the many Weaver bases to fit your particular rifle. If your rifle has 11mm or 3/8" dovetails then you can fit the scope using our low profile adapters.
Q: What is FOM or Figure of Merit?
A: This figure is used by NATO to measure the overall performance of a tube and also the USA to restrict exports. The FOM is simply calculated by multiplying the resolution (how detailed the image is) by the signal to noise ratio (how well the tube makes an image in low light).
The various tubes that are around these days have the following average FOMs.
USA Gen2+ 350
DEP Commercial 600-800
Russian Gen2+ 1000
Photonis-DEP Gen2+ 1200
USA Gen3 1200 / 1600
Russian Supergen 1250
Russian Hypergen 1600
Photonis-DEP XR5 2200
Iincidentally 1600 is the NATO maximum.
So in simple terms the higher the FOM is, the better the image will be.
Q: What warranty do I get with the scope?
A: Please visit our warranty page for full details.
