Hey guys I just picked up a T81 SR with the NPZ PO 4x24-01 scope. I have it roughly sighted in to be on paper at 50 yards within 5” of the bullseye. I’m trying to make some fine adjustments and I’m just confused about this statement in the manual: “the turn of the windage adjustment mechanism by one click shifts the point of impact to the right (left) by 2.5cm for each 100m.” Does this mean to shift the point of impact to the right I have to turn the top dial left? And same goes for if my POI is to high I have to turn the dial in the marked down direction? Can someone explain this to me lol I’m just confused and new to optics. Also I know that the bottom elevation dial should be set to 1 and the windage at 0 when zearoing the top dials but if you are zeroing at 50 yards should that dial be at .5 instead of 1? The manual just says set the turret to 1 but I’d assume if zeroing at 50 yards you would set that to 0.5 and then do you fine adjustment with the top dials that require u to loosen the small screws. Thanks

These scopes often go by reticle direction. So if it say up... that means your moving the reticle up. Same goes for windage. As for the units of adjustment, it may be 2.5cm @ 100. I honestly never test it. Instead I just aim at the location I aimed at for the shots, then while holding the gun steady and looking thru the optic I twist the turrets enough to move the reticle onto where the bullets hit. After succeeding in that, I loosen the 2 silver screws a turn or two... just enough to allow the silver turret drums with the markings on it to rotate WITHOUT rotating the black portion with the little red line. I rotate the silver elevation drum to the corresponding meter you zeroed at (should be done at 100m so setting 1) and the windage to setting 0. Then I lightly tighten the silver screws back in to hold it all together. The Elevation drums despite having markings 1 to 10 possibly implying BDC from 100 to 1000m arnt really that in reality. Only genuine military issue PSOs have this for the 54r cartridge. These civilian NPZ PO optics are in some unknown metric markings to me. But still easy to shoot out to 600 yards with 7.62x39. I know with the NPZ 3-9x24 PO I got on my SKS I set the dial to 7 and instantly connect with steel at 500 yards.
Ok that makes sense so on my scope I have a setting between 0 and 1 which would indicate 50 meters, if I kept the big turret in that position while sighting in with the top fine adjustment turret you use by loosening the screws, would it mean that it’s zeroed at 50 and there for when I switch the big turret to 1 I will be zeroed at 100 yards as well? Or do you think it will be a little bit off? I ask because at my range I can see the 50 yard shots land on my splatter targets but with the 4x scope it’s hard to tell where I’m landing at 100 so my plan is to zero at 50 then start shooting steel at the 100. Am I better off getting some high powered binoculars and sighting it at 100?
Went to the range yesterday, and dialed my SR in. I had/have no clue what I'm doing.
I read Murray's post and had no idea what TF he was talking about. I'm a noob.
Once I got on range, *light* went off, and I understood about the silver cylinder, versus the black cap (when unscrewed).
Took some experimentation, but I could see the changes made and the result.
I dialed it in, was getting fantastic groups at 50M, sub 1 MOA. Woot!
Question: this was elevation only. Should this scope be zero'd to anything other than 1? (Or 0?).
Post-edit: answered my own question. Thx.
