Steiner M5Xi 3-15x50mm

For Military 3-15×50mm:

     The Windage and Elevation knobs are designed for precise adjustment. The dials are calibrated so that 1 click = 0.1 mRAD. The Windage knob, located on the right side of the tube, is calibrated for up to 6 mRAD of adjustment left and right. Adjustments are indicated by detents and audible clicks. Hard stops at both ends of the adjustment range prevent shooters from getting lost on the dial.

For shooting at extreme distances, the elevation knob offers up to 26mRAD and two full revolutions of adjustment. The indication occurs through a patented double scale. The first revolution of 149 clicks are indicated on a rotating scale. When turning past 149 clicks the scale disappears to the top and a second scale ranging from 150 to 260 clicks appears from below.

This Riflescope is shipped from the factory with the optical center (knob at ‘0’ position) set below center. Without tapered bases the initial sight-in or bore-sighting will likely produce an initial point of impact considerably high. Because of the Zero Stop feature, as shipped from the factory the scope has no immediate capability for downward point of impact adjustment.

STEINER offers this Riflescope with a choice of Windage/Elevation knobs that offer both Clockwise and Counterclockwise adjustments. Use the following procedure whenever you need downward point of impact adjustment:

1 Turn the elevation adjustment knob clockwise to “0”. (Steps 2-5 below are for scopes with clockwise Windage/Elevation adjustment. For counter-clockwise knobs, just reverse the indicated direction.)

2 Use the hex wrench supplied with the scope to loosen the set screw (half turn only!) on the Elevation adjustment knob located just below the top of the knob.

3 Pull up slightly on the adjustment knob to the second white hash mark on the turret. Turn the knob clockwise slightly more than the number of mils needed to achieve zero.

4 Re-tighten the set screws. Adjust the elevation down the required amount.

5 Once the elevation adjustment is complete, once again loosen the two set screws and reset the knob to “0”. With the screws loose, push down firmly on the knob until it is fully seated on the turret base and then re-tighten the set screws.

Note When re-tightening set screws on elevation knob, maintain pressure on the top of cap to ensure proper seating of adjustment dial.

Attention It is recommended not to remove the elevation adjustment knob! If the knob is removed, it is possible to rotate the Rotation Indicator actuator, which controls the elevation rotation indicator pin, to a position which

For Military 3-15×50mm:

     Parallax is the apparent movement of the reticle in relation to the target when the eye is not directly in line behind the center of the scope.

     Images from different distances focus in front of or behind the scope’s reticle. Parallax is more noticeable with higher magnification scopes and scopes with a larger objective lens.

     To use the parallax/focus adjustment, rotate the knob on the left side of the adjustment turret until the numeral corresponding to the known target distance lines up with the reference mark. If the distance is unknown, rotate the adjustment knob until the target image is sharply focused.

     When the scope is set parallax free for the distance you are viewing, you should be able to move your eye side-to-side or up and down without seeing the reticle move appreciably in relation to the target.
