Explanation of
Minute of Angle (MOA)
MOAunitofarcmeasurementsarebasedondegreesand
minutes.Thereare360degreesinacircleand60minutesina
degreeforatotalof21,600minutes(MOA)inacircle.Aminuteof
anglewillsubtend1.05inchesatadistanceof100yards.
*Graduations can be calculated at additional distances beyond 500 yds.

Second Focal Plane (SFP) Reticle
ThereticleinyourRitonriescopeisaSecondFocalPlane
(SFP).SFPreticlesarelocatedinrearoftheimageerecting
andmagnifyinglenses.TheadvantageofaSFPreticleisthatit
alwaysmaintainsthesameappearance.Shootersusingreticle
hashmarksshouldbeawarethatthelistedsubtensionsused
forestimatingrange,holdover,andwindagecorrectionareatthe
maximummagnication.
TO CHANGE MAGNIFICATION:
Simplyturnthemagnicationringtothedesiredmagnication
level.Lowerpowersofferawidereldofviewwhilehigherpowers

Reticle Information
TheX3TactixARDhasa2MinuteofAngle(MOA)dot,isnight
visioncompatibleandcanrunupto1600hoursononesingle
CR2032battery.
Explanation of Parallax
Parallaxdescribesasituationwherethefocalplaneoftheobjectinthescopeisoffset
fromthereticle.Ifyouhaveparallax,youhaveanopticalillusionthatmustbecorrected.
Parallaxshouldnotbeconfusedwithfocus.Parallaxcompensationchangesneitherthe
focusofthereticlenorthefocusoftheimage;itsimplymovestheplanesatwhichthese
twoobjectsareinfocussothattheysharethesameplane.
TO ADJUST THE PARALLAX:
1. Setyourfastfocuseyepieceforyoureye.Lookatablankbackdropandturnyoureye
pieceinandoutuntilyouhaveacrispsharpreticle.
2. Lookthroughscopeandplacecross-hairontarget.Moveyourheadaroundwithout
leavingexitpupil.Doesthecrosshairmoveorbecomeblurry?
3. Ifthecross-hairmovesorisblurry,setthesideparallaxtoestimatedrange,usethisas
startingpointandnetuneasneeded.
YOUR RITON RIFLESCOPE DOES
NOT HAVE A PARALLAX FOCUS
AND IS FACTORY FOCUSED AT A
DISTANCE OF 100 YARDS.

Mechanical Zero
YourRitonriescopeispre-setfromthefactorywiththereticlein
thecenteroftheadjustmentranges.
TO FIND FACTORY ZERO:
1. Dialturretonedirectionuntilitwillnolongerrotate.
NOTE-Donotforcetheturretpastit’sstoppingpoint.
2. DialturretoppositedirectioncountinghowmanyMOAit
turns.
3. DividethattotalnumberofMOAinhalfanddialtothat
numberforyourfactoryzero.
4. Completethisprocedureforbothwindageandelevation
dialstoapproximatelycenterthereticle.
Illumination System
Thevariableintensityreticleilluminationsystemaidsinlowlight
situations.
TO ACTIVATE THE ILLUMINATION:
1. Rotatetheadjustmentknobineitherdirection.
Note - The illumination knob allows for 6 levels of brightness intensity.
TO CHANGE BATTERY:
1. Unscrewtheoutercap.
2. Removethebattery.
3. ReplacewithanewCR2032batterywithpositivesideout.
4. Re-installthebatterycapandbesuretotightenfully.

Mounting Your Riton Red Dot
TO MOUNT YOUR RITON RED DOT:
1. YourRitonRMDcomewithalower1/3cowitnessmount
2. Usingtheprovidedallenwrenchloosenthebasebolt.Then
attachthelowerbaseandmakesurethisissolidlyseatedin
thebasegroove.Topreventrecoilinjury,positiontheRedDot
sothatyouhaveatleastfourinchesofeyerelief.
3. Besurethebaseclampishookedaroundtheoutsideofthe
rail/base.Pressdownwardandforwardtowardthemuzzle.
Then,rmlytightenthebaseclamphexnut.
4. Note.theRitonRRDhasanunlimitedeyerelief.
5. IfyouplantomountamagnierbehindyourRedDotbesure
toleavesucientspaceforthisasyoumountyourRRD.

Bore Sighting
Boresightingisapreliminaryproceduretoachieveproper
alignmentoftheRMDwiththerie’sbore.Initialboresightingof
theriescopewilldecreasetheamountoftimeandammunition
youneedtouseattherange.
Thiscanbedonebyusingamechanicalorlaserboresighter
accordingtothemanufacturer’sinstructionsorbyremovingthe
boltandsightingthroughthebarrelonsomeries.
TO BORE SIGHT YOUR RIFLESCOPE:
1. Placetheriesolidlyonarestandremovethebolt/bolt
carriergroup.
2. Sightthroughtheboreatatargetapproximately25yards
away.
3. Movetherieandtherestuntilthetargetisvisuallycentered
insidethebarrel.
4. Withthetargetcenteredinthebore,makewindageand
elevationadjustmentsuntilthereddotisalsocenteredover
thetarget.
Note - If a laser bore sighting or any other similar device inside the bore
was used, it must be removed before ring. An obstructed bore can cause
Zeroing the Scope
IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECKS:
• Alwayscheckyourweaponandsurroundingsforsafety.
• Followallweaponmanufacturersafetyguidelines.
• Alwaysshootfromasolidrestusingconsistentandproper
form.
• Besurethatyourtargetisleveltoaidinaccuratesight-in
process.
TO ZERO THE SCOPE:
1. Startsight-inprocessfrom25yards,fromsolidrestre3-shotgroup,ensuringthat
youreatsamespoteachtime.Usegridlinesontargettocenterandlevelyour
crosshairs.
2. Aftertherst3-shotgroup,makeadjustmentstobringbulletimpacttocenteroftarget
you’reshootingat.Repeatthisprocessatwhateverrangeyouchooseandyouwill
haveaccuratezero.
Note - Scope graduations are 1 MOA. Scope turrets are marked with direction of bullet impact change.
At 100 yards a 1 MOA scope adjustment will move bullet impact 1 inch in direction adjusted. At 25
yards that same 1 MOA adjustment will be 4 times smaller, so 1 MOA adjustment at 25 yards will move
bullet impact 1/4 of an inch.

Problemsthoughttobeassociatedwiththescopeareoftenactuallymountproblems.Take
timetoensurethemountsaretighttotheRMDandthatRMDissecuredanddoesn’ttwist
ormoveintherings.Conrmthatcorrectbaseandringsarebeingusedandintheproper
orientation.Besuretotorqueringspermanufacturer’sspecs.
Keepinmindtherearemanyissuesthatcancausepoorbulletgrouping.Alwaysutilizea
solidrestandmaintaingoodshootingtechnique.Haveaqualiedgunsmithlookoveryour
rietobesureallthingsareinworkingorder.Seethattheactionandbarrelareproperly
cleaned.Someriesandammunitiondon’tworkwelltogether,trydifferentammunitionand
seeifaccuracyimproves.
