STEP 4:
Attach a small thermal target to the aim point. Be prepared to
freshen (replace) cold targets if they fade. Use
the ‘
IMAGE POSITION
CORRECTION’
menu to move the crosshairs to the thermal target,
without moving the rifle. Fire a second round. Use
‘IMAGE POSITION
CORRECTION’ menu to make both vertical and horizontal
adjustments to move your 2
nd
shot toward the 1
st
shot. To adjust the
bullet strike to the right, rotate the Controller knob clockwise while in
the horizontal part of the menu. To move the bullet strike lower, rotate
the Controller knob clockwise while in the vertical part of the menu.
These adjustments are consistent with the way mechanical turrets
work in the daylight riflescopes. There is no fixed value for the clicks
for a particular setup (it is an electronical algorithm). Make
adjustments, then fire another shot. Based on how far the bullet impact
moved, you can calculate the approximate value of the clicks. Please
keep in mind that the value of the vertical plane clicks may differ
significantly from the value of the horizontal plane clicks.
Mark or make note of your 3
rd
shot and make additional adjustments
as required.
STEP 5:
When your 25m/y bullet strike overlays where your
‘daylight
scope
only’ setup shoots, move target to 100 m/y. It is no longer
necessary to use the Lead Sled or bench rest.
Reset focus, gain, brightness, sensitivity and Image detail
Enhancement for the clearest target image at 100m/y.
Fix a new thermal target and shoot a 3 to 5 round group. Make
adjustments as necessary using the
‘IMAGE POSITION
CORRECTION’ menu and shoot an additional group. Repeat as
necessary. You are zeroed when the groups overlay those fired
initially in
Step 1
with the
‘day only’ optic.
STEP 6:
Set the
TABLE POSITION CORRECTION
for a quick
reference to proper zero where the crosshair section of the table is
aligned with your daylight scope reticle.
Your Omega clip-on is now zeroed to your particular rifle/optic in the
clip on mode. It is a good idea to write down which rifle/optic is set to
which ‘Position Profile.’ Noting your final ‘
IMAGE POSITION
CORRECTION
’ settings (for example: -7 horizontal / +43 vertical) may
make starting from scratch easier if you need to go back to ‘square
one’ for any reason.
