Instruction manual/Mode d'emploi  
E F  
Congratulations on your choice of a Nikon Slug Gun 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 Slug Gun 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 Slug Gun, 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.  
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 Nikoplex reticle (Fig. 3-2), or the BDC200.  
Be sure your eye is positioned within proper alingment and proper eye relief otherwise the  
view will "black out".  
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.  
(2) Magnification  
The SlugHunter 3-9x40 Slug Gun Scope has a variable magnification from 3 to 9X, 1.65-5x36  
from 1.65 to 5x. 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 Slug Gun Scope  
We hope that you will enjoy your new Nikon Slug Gun Scope for many years to come. Enjoy using it,  
and above all, always follow safe shooting procedures!  
Caution  
(1) Do not look at the sun through the Slug Gun Scope. It will permanently damage your eye.  
This precaution applies to all optical devices such as cameras and binoculars.  
(2) The Slug Gun 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.  
Sighting through the Slug Gun Scope, align the Slug Gun Scope 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 Slug Gun Scope adjustment is made by turning the grip by hand. If the bullet hits  
under the aiming point, turn the grip in the direction of the arrow marked "U" (Fig. 3-4). If the  
bullet hits to the left of the aiming point, turn the grip in the direction of the arrow marked "R"  
(Fig. 3-4).  
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.  
(4) Zero setting of grip (Fig. 3-5)  
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  
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.  
1. Nomenclature  
Note:  
The windage and elevation scales of the Slug Gun Scope are 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  
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) Parallax  
Setting, you should adjust two minutes of angle up one minute of angle left.
