I recently purchased an IOR VALDADA 2.5-10x42 scope and it did not include a manual does anyone know where I can get one or how to sight this scope in. Thanks |

I searched all over Google and valdada site and found nothing but a place to order a new scope. I just need to know what the two socket head cap screws on the top are for. I already read the other post on this sight from the guy that took out the small center screw. |
Yes yes I do, Ok there is a slight trick to it, but only after you have it sighted in. Sight it in like normal. Take yer shots and make yer adjustments. Now this is one of the things I like about the IOR scope, but it can also be a total PITA to do. On the top of the turret are two small screws, located near the outside edges. Losen the screws, but DO NOT TAKE THEM OUT, hold the top of the turret, and rotate the part that has the numbers on it to take it back to show zero. This is the part that actually has the clicks, so you will hear the clicks but it won't change the zero, you can if you rotate the top of the turret at this point change the zero. So thake it slow. This also allows you to fine tune the zero. Once you have the numbered barel returned to zero and the zero tweaked to where you want it, tighten down the screws and you will be good to go. I had to do this like three times because I'd keep shifting the zero like half to a full click. But than I got it down and it is now much easier to do. I've also heard one other way of doing it and that is to take the shots, and than losn the screws and make the adjustment than tighten them down, take a couple more shots, losen them and make any needed adjustments. Don't know how that works but I planned to experiment with it a bit to see if it works. I hope this is clear enough and helpful. if not send me an IM or something and I can see if I can clear it up a bit for you. |
My IOR 6x24 also came with sighting-in instructions, a diagram with indications on how thick the reticle lines and marks are (based on milliradian-dot), and a holdover & rangefinding chart showing a target of known height at 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 yards and how many mils that target will fill up in the reticle at each yardage. This chart also showed bullet drop /holdover compensation for ranges from 100-800. |
