Mounting your scope

The Mars 5 has a 3.5inch eye relief (90 mm), and can be mounted using 30 mm mounting rings. ATN has provided two standard rings and one L shape ring. The L shape ring is for those instances when you need extra eye relief for certain rifles. First, choose your preference of rings and position and mount the bottom portions of your rings to your rail for optimal eye relief. Place the scope on the bottom half of the rings you just mounted, verifying you have sufficient eye relief for your platform. Place the top portion of your ring over the mounted bottom portion, make sure the holes align and the screws turn easily. Apply equal torque to all screws with the provided Allen wrench. Make sure your rings are tight on your rifles rail and will not come loose due to recoil.

For mounting the Mars 5 on the Picatinny rail:
Loosen the fixing screws on the sides of the mounting rings.
Place the rifle scope on the Picatinny rail so that the projection of the rail, which is in the base of the ring, enters the recess in the rail.
Tighten the fixing screws of the mounting rings.

Mounting your scope

CAUTION:
Be sure your weapon is not loaded. Use safe weapon handling procedures at all times.

NOTE:
Please do not over tighten the Fixing Screws when attaching the rings to your rail, we recommend using 30 in-lbs.

Compass Calibration
