Congratulations on your choice of a Nikon PROSTAFF 5 Riflescope. 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 

riflescope.

Whether you use your scope for hunting or for target shooting, the procedure for mounting is identical. A set of high-quality steel mounting rings which have a standard diameter of 25.4 mm (1 in) are required to mount 

the scope. Follow the ring manufacturer's instructions for mounting procedures. After mounting the scope on your rifle, follow the procedures for reticle alignment.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR NIKON RIFLESCOPE IS MOUNTED PROPERLY AND THAT CAREFUL CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN WHEN MOUNTING YOUR NIKON RIFLESCOPE ON A FIREARM.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOUR NIKON RIFLESCOPE BE MOUNTED ON YOUR FIREARM BY AN EXPERIENCED, REPUTABLE GUNSMITH.

THE USER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR HAVING THE NIKON RIFLESCOPE PROPERLY MOUNTED TO A FIREARM AND USING THE NIKON RIFLESCOPE PROPERLY.

(1) Do NOT look at the sun through the riflescope. It will permanently damage your eye. This precaution applies to all optical devices, such as cameras and binoculars.

(2)  The riflescope 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 recommend 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.

(3) When not in use for an extended period, please remove the battery from the body.

(4) If the battery compartment cover is damaged, or if it emits a strange sound due to dropping or some other cause, remove the battery immediately and stop using.

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, according to personal 

preference, 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.

We hope that you will enjoy your new Nikon PROSTAFF 5 Riflescope for many years to come. Enjoy using it, and above all, always follow safe shooting procedures.
