Frequently Asked Questions - Elite Tactical XRS3 BUSHNELL

What is the product type: binoculars or spotting scope?

Despite the term 'binoculars' in some sources, this Elite Tactical XRS3 model is a monocular zoom spotting scope designed for long-distance observation.

What reticles are available?

Two Horus Vision® reticles are offered: the H322™ (reference ET884060H) and the Tremor4™ (reference ET884060T). The H322 is designed for shooters using H58/H59 reticles, and the Tremor4 for Tremor2/Tremor3 reticles.

How do I adjust the reticle focus?

Use the diopter ring (under the eyepiece) to adjust the reticle to your vision. Point the scope at a white wall or empty sky and turn the ring until the reticle is sharp. Focus on the subject using the main focus ring.

What is the lens cleaning procedure?

1. Gently blow or brush off dust. 2. Use the provided microfiber cloth in a circular motion. 3. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth (breath or isopropyl alcohol) and wipe gently. Never apply liquid directly to the lenses.

Is the scope waterproof and fogproof?

Yes, it meets IPX7 standard (resists immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes) and is argon purged to prevent internal fogging.

Can I mount accessories like a red dot sight?

Yes, thanks to the included Picatinny/Weaver rail. You can attach it on top, left or right side of the scope using the long screws provided (torque: 12-15 lbf·in).

What is the warranty on this product?

It is covered by Bushnell's Lifetime Ironclad Warranty. It is transferable, no receipt needed, and covers manufacturing defects for the product's lifetime (check Bushnell's website for specific duration).

How do I mount the scope on a tripod?

Screw the mounting base (1/4 inch-20 thread) onto the tripod head. Ensure the tripod is stable and of good quality to avoid vibrations.

What accessories are included in the box?

The manual mentions a microfiber cloth and a Picatinny/Weaver mounting rail with screws. The tripod is not included and must be purchased separately.

What should I do if the image remains blurry after adjustment?

First check the diopter adjustment. If the problem persists, clean the lenses. In case of internal defect, contact Bushnell customer service for warranty repair. Never attempt to disassemble the device yourself.

TRIPOD MOUNTING

Your Elite Tactical LMSS2 spotting scope should be mounted on a high quality, stable tripod (not included) to ensure safe operation and a vibration-free viewing experience. Attach the scope's mounting base (I) (1/4"-20 thread) to the screw on the tripod's platform, so that the scope is held securely in place and provides a level view (adjust tripod as needed).

USING THE ZOOM EYEPIECE AND FOCUSING

Turn the focus ring (C) in either direction until your subject appears as sharp as possible. To reduce the need to readjust focus when zooming, set the zoom to its highest power and focus on your subject. When you zoom back down to lower powers, it will minimize the need for additional focus adjustment.

Rotate the zoom ring (D) on the eyepiece to change magnifying power from low to high. The throw lever (E) provides faster operation when rapid changes in magnification are needed (it can be removed if necessary). Lower power settings will provide a brighter image with a wider field of view; higher powers allow observing smaller details on more distant subjects. Note: the eyepiece section of the scope is not interchangeable. Do not attempt to remove the eyepiece from the scope.

USING THE TWIST-UP EYECUP AND DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT

1. Twist the rubber eyecup (B) clockwise to retract it into the scope, allowing access to the diopter ring (A).
2. If the reticle appears blurry, rotate the diopter adjustment ring (A) with the scope aimed at a blank wall or empty sky to ensure the reticle is sharp for your eyesight.
3. Twist the eyecup out (counter-clockwise) to adjust it for a comfortable view, ensuring that you can see the entire image (full fi eld of view). If you wear eyeglasses, you may prefer to retract it back down.

Once set, the eyepiece diopter should not need further adjustment, and the eyecup can be extended again if desired. Do not use the eyepiece diopter to focus on your subject, only to focus the reticle. Use the main focus ring if the subject is not sharp.

ACCESSORY MOUNTING RAIL

The LMSS2 includes a Picatinny/Weaver mounting rail (F) for accessories (red dot sights, lasers, night vision, illumination, etc.). This rail can be positioned to the user's preference on the scope's top, left side or right side. Simply remove the two short screws from the preferred position, then attach the rail using the provided pair of long screws. Torque to 12-15 lbf*in.

HORUS VISION® TACTICAL RETICLES

Model# ET884060H has a Horus H322™ reticle, model# ET884060T has a Horus T4 (Tremor4™) reticle. The H322 reticle is an ideal parallel reference when working with a shooter using a riflescope with the Horus H58™ or H59™ reticle. The T4 reticle provides a calibrated reference for riflescopes with Horus Tremor2™ or Tremor3™ reticles. Images of each reticle are shown on the next page.

Full technical specifications and key features/facts for each reticle can be found on the Horus Vision website:

WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF

Getting caught in a heavy downpour of rain with your spotter won't be a problem. Elite Tactical LMSS2 spotting scopes are manufactured and tested to withstand water exposure to IPX7 standards. Fogproof protection is achieved from dry argon gas purging that displaces all internal air, which can retain moisture.

All exterior lens surfaces have our new EXO Barrier™ coating (in addition to full multi-coating). EXO Barrier, quite simply, is the best protective lens coating technology Bushnell has ever developed. Added at the end of the coating process, EXO Barrier molecularly bonds to the lens and fills the microscopic pores in the glass. The result is an ultra-slick coating that repels water, oil, fog, dust and debris - rain, snow, fingerprints and dirt will not stick. EXO Barrier is built to last: the bonded coating will not fade with the passage of time or normal wear and tear.

CLEANING AND GENERAL CARE

The lenses of your Bushnell Elite Tactical LMSS2 spotting scope are fully multi-coated for highest light transmission. As with any multi-coated optics, special care must be taken in cleaning the lenses. Follow these tips for proper lens cleaning:

- Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).

- To remove dirt or finger prints, clean with the supplied micro-fiber cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. The included washable microfiber cleaning cloth is ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics. Simply breathe lightly on the lens to provide a slight amount of moisture, then gently rub the lens with the microfiber cloth.

- For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth - never directly on the lens.

Never disassemble your spotting scope. Irreparable damage can result from unauthorized service attempts, which also void the warranty.
