Nikon OMEGA BDC-250 User Manual
The Nikon OMEGA has been developed specifically for muzzleloaders – the size, optics and reticle are optimized for your sport. The OMEGA features Nikon’s new BDC-250 reticle that can be custom tailored for the trajectory of your load. We are very proud of the ruggedness and superb performance built into every Nikon rifle scope and the OMEGA carries on this tradition.
Mounting the Omega on your Muzzleloader*
Ensure the following is carried out before shooting your Omega equipped muzzleloader:
• All base and ring screws should be properly tightened. LocTite should be applied if suggested by the manufacturer of the scope mounts.
• The scope is positioned in the rings allowing correct eye-relief. You should see a complete field of view upon bringing the rifle to firing position. A good check for eye-relief is to close both eyes, shoulder the rifle, then open your shooting eye and examine the field of view. You should have a complete circular field of view every time.
• The reticle should be vertical. This can be assured by locking the rifle in a vise or suitable holder using a bubble level to ensure it is sitting square. Look through the scope at a known level surface. Loosen the rings screws enough to be able to turn the scope in the rings and level the horizontal section of the crosshair. This procedure is extremely important so that the firearm is not canted. Canting can have adverse effects on accuracy.
