Instruction manual/Mode d'emploi  
E F  
Congratulations on your choice of a Nikon ENCORE Handgun Scope. Your new scope is the finest  
example of Nikon's rugged and durable construction and precision bright optics; important qualities  
for a serious shooter's handgun scope.  
3. Instructions  
(1) Focusing  
Whether you use your scope for hunting or for target shooting, the procedure for mounting is  
identical. You should acquire a set of high quality steel mounting rings which have a standard  
diameter of 25.4 mm (1 inch). Follow the ring manufacturer's instructions for mounting procedures.  
After mounting the scope on your handgun scope, follow the procedures for reticle alignment.  
When setting the reticle for hunting, you should determine your standard range and then adjust the  
reticle based upon that target distance. For targets which vary from that standard distance you may  
simply adjust the position of the reticle in relation to your target, or you may wish to use the  
procedure for trajectory compensation. It's up to your personal preference.  
1
Look through the eyepiece with your eye positioned about 10cm (4 in) away from the  
eyepiece lens (Fig. 3-1), and you will see the BDC Encore Reticle (Fig. 3-2).  
Be sure your eye is positioned within proper alingment and proper eye relief otherwise the  
view will "black out".  
2
Point the objective end of the scope at the sky (Do not point at the sun) or at a plain  
unpatterned wall.  
Turn the eyepiece adjustment counter-clockwise and then turn it clockwise until the reticle  
appears sharp.  
We hope that you will enjoy your new Nikon ENCORE Handgun Scope for many years to come.  
Enjoy using it, and above all, always follow safe shooting procedures!  
(2) Magnification  
The Nikon ENCORE Handgun scope 2x20 EER has a 2x magnification.  
The Nikon ENCORE Handgun scope 2.5-8x28 EES has a variable magnification from 2.5 to  
8X.  
Caution  
(1) Do not look at the sun through the handgun scope. It will permanently damage your eye. This  
precaution applies to all optical devices such as cameras and binoculars.  
(2) The handgun scope is effectively sealed against moisture and dust. You may use your scope  
safely either in the rain or in dusty climates. To preserve the appearance of the scope, we  
suggest that it be dried and cleaned prior to storage. Use a soft cloth for cleaning metal  
surfaces and use photographic lens tissue to clean the scope's lenses.  
To change powers, just rotate the power selector ring until the desired magnification appears  
adjacent to the power index dot (Fig. 1-1).  
(3) Adjustment of the handgun scope  
Sighting through the handgun scope, align the rifle 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  
after removing the Adjustment cap, as follows:  
For the Nikon ENCORE Handgun Scope adjustment is made by turning the grip by hand. If  
The product(s) described herein may be subject to export control regulations in the relevant  
country(ies). It (they) should not be exported without authorization of the exporting govermental  
authority if the regulations apply.  
the bullet hits under the aiming point, turn the grip in the direction of the arrow marked "U"  
(Fig. 3-3). If the bullet hits to the left of the aiming point, turn the grip in the direction of the  
arrow marked "R" (Fig. 3-3).  
(4) Zero setting of grip (Fig. 3-4)  
After the reticle has been adjusted to the point of impacts, with the grip held with your fingers to  
avoid shifting of the aligned grip, turn the grip screw in top of the grip counterclockwise with  
1. Nomenclature  
coin. Then lift the grip up and align the " " with the index mark. It may happen that the "  
"
could not align with the index mark exactly because of the coupling pitch of the grip with the  
shaft. And by securing the grip with your fingers to avoid shifting of the grip, turn the grip screw  
clockwise with the coin until the grip in firmly secured.  
Note:  
The windage and elevation scales of the ENCORE Handgun scope 2x20 EER is calibrated in  
divisions of 1/2 minite of angle with a click at intervals of 1/2 minute of angle.  
The windage and elevation scales of the ENCORE Handgun scope 2.5-8x28 EER is calibrated  
in divisions of 1/4 minute of angle with a click at intervals of 1/4 minute of angle .  
When adjusting the reticle to the point of aim, remember that one minute of angle equals  
Fig. 1-1  
2.5-8x28 EER  
approximately one inch (2.54 cm) at 100 yards (91.44 m). Therefore, if the impact point is  
two inches (5.08 cm) low and one inch (2.54 cm) right at 100 yards (91.44 m), you should  
adjust two minutes of angle up one minute of angle left.
