It's in the manual. Google and dload the manual if you don't have a hard copy.

Are you having a specific issue, or just don't know where to start?

If you are sighting in during the day, leave the lens cap closed and look through the pin hole. At night, open the cap.

Unless I can boresight it, I usually start at about 30 yards to get it on paper then move back from there.

Shoot a few rounds to determine point of impact in relation to point of aim.

Push and hold knob on side of scope. menu will come up in left side of screen.

rotate the knob to get the pointer pointing at the option to move cross hairs.

I don't remember if x or y comes up first. Whichever it is, turn the knob to change the value (you want to move crosshair toward point of impact).

tap knob and it will change to other coordinate. Repeat adjustment to dial in that direction.

Push and hold knob to close menu

test fire and repeat...

Interested here as well. Kelso is this the one you had with you that night we hunted the farm?

Maybe, depends which model he has. I recommend the 4.6X to my customers. 6.5X gives up too much FOV for follow up shots on running targets. No matter which one you go with, external IR is a must to get the most from the scope. The Evola units off amazon work well but are cheaply built. Sightmark offers their own external now that is really nice but it's pricy at about $125 for kit with charger, weapon mount, etc...

I sell a much better DVR now too...

If anyone in BCS area wants to check one out in field conditions, I am more than happy to meet up.

I've been selling them about 2 years, along with other brands. Sightmark is best bang for buck. They also have best customer service in industry which doesn't hurt... Just beware, digital nightvision is the gateway drug. Once you have it you will want more!

Thanks for the info. I want to get a starter now, but save up for a gen 2 or 3.

I might be interested in checking one out next time I'm in CS. I might be there for a couple days next week. Is the price you sell them for comparable to a retail store?

Very interested in a walk through on your set up. Add this to the list of things to discuss for my .300 blk build! Will be in touch eventually, waiting to pick up my 6.8 SPC first. Estimated ETA next Tuesday. She's going to be sweeet.

Just give me a shout when you are coming in. I have a couple of places close to town that we can meet so you can check them out. Best way to reach me is e-mail shawn@kelsoarms.com.

I provide my customers the best pricing I can however most of these products are controlled by MAP pricing. MAP agreements can't control your actual sale price but do prevent dealers from advertising their price if below MAP. If you e-mail me I can provide you pricing.

Sounds good, just let me know when you are ready.

I hate to cut my own throat but... I know you have done some business with Eyeguy, you may want to stick with him on the rifle parts. He moves a lot more volume than I do so he gets better deals from the distributors which leads to lower sale prices. On night vision and thermal we are probably pretty close. That said, I am happy to help you in any way I can regardless where you make your purchases.
