APPLICATION  
The ATN 10x65Z-Army Mil-Dot is not an evolu-  
tion but a revolution, not an improvement, but  
a breakthrough. For years the best names in  
optics were aspired to produce a balanced  
large aperture tactical scope. Large aperture  
renders into large Exit Pupil. Large Exit Pupil  
means longer operating hours and better  
performance in low light conditions and in  
“stressed” environment. Nevertheless, the  
“let’s get a Big Hunting scope and put a Mil-Dot  
in it and call it “Tactical”” approach always led  
to a problem with uncomfortably high mounting.  
The new ATN 10x65Z-Army Mil-Dot prismatic  
design solves all the problems, and allows a  
sniper to use a scope with 65mm aperture that  
sits closer to the barrel than a standard 40mm  
scope. With a sharp crisp image, workable  
size, high durability and with an abundance of  
features like illuminated Army Mil-Dot reticle,  
interchangeable Bullet Drop Compensator for  
five different calibers, “will-not-bump” eye relief  
and parallax adjustment the ATN 10x65Z is a  
standard not an option for LE marksmen and  
military sniper alike.

OPERATING  
CAUTION: Viewing the sun can cause serious  
eye injury, never look at the sun with this prod-  
uct or even the naked eye.  
MOUNTING  
1. Slightly loosen the fixing screws on the  
weaver rail built into the scope.  
If the reticle is not sharply defined instantly, turn  
the eyepiece (either direction) a few turns.  
2. Place the scope on the dovetail mount of the  
fire arm making certain that the mount aligns  
with the receptor attachment screw groove.  
Adjust as necessary.  
Quickly glance through the scope again. If the  
focus has improved, but is still not perfect, con-  
tinue focusing. If the focus condition become  
worse turn the focus the opposite direction.  
3. Tighten the fixing screws.  
NOTE: Receptor attachment screws may need  
to be tightened after continuous shooting.  
The ATN Mounting System allows to change the  
position of the riflescope flexibly on the weapon  
in relation to a shooter in combination with the  
fixed positions already available on the weaver  
rail. For this purpose in the base of the mount-  
ing bracket there is a rail with a fixing projection.  
There are 2 grooves in the mounting bracket  
for mounting this rail. Besides it is possible to  
change the position of the riflescope addition-  
ally by 1/3 of inch. For doing this one needs to  
about-face the rail.  
Next, focus the front lens until the image and  
the grain are both sharp.  
NOTE: The front lens should be readjusted  
as you view objects at different distances, the  
diopter should not be adjusted.

LOCKING MECHANISM  
Rail  
There is a locking mechanism with fixation  
screw for windage/elevation adjustment and  
zeroing mechanism.  
Slightly loosen the fixation screw before zero-  
ing or windage/elevation adjustment .  
To change the position of the riflescope on  
the weaver rail additionally follow the steps  
mentioned below:  
1. Unscrew the two screws, which attach  
the rail to the mounting bracket.  
2. Take the rail out of the groove.  
3. About-face the rail in case of necessity.  
4. Place the rail into another groove.  
5. Fix the rail with the two screws.  
NOTE: If the rail is not taken out easily, screw up  
tight one of screws into the threaded aperture in  
the middle of a fixing projection of the rail. Con-  
tinue rotation of the screw. Thus the screw will  
push out a rail from a groove.  
Fixation screw  
After zeroing or windage/elevation adjustment  
turn the fixation screw clockwise, to lock the  
adjustment mechanism.  
FOCUSING  
While holding the scope about four inches from  
your eye, quickly glance through the eyepiece  
at a featureless, flatly lit bright area such as a  
wall or the sky.

4. Turn the windage and elevation handles  
through the number of clicks necessary for  
an amendment.  
The number of clicks should be read from the  
scale with respect to the chosen line. Each  
graduation interval equals to 10 clicks.  
WINDAGE AND ELEVATION  
The vertical and horizontal adjustments for the  
10x65Z can be achieved by turning the eleva-  
tion and windage adjustment mechanisms  
(remove dust caps first). Each click equals to  
1/8 inches at 100 yards. When reaching the  
maximum of rotation do not use force.  
NOTE: Each click of adjustment changes  
bullet strike by the amount shown on the  
chart below.

ZEROING  
ELECTRONIC RETICLE  
Pre-zeroing is recommended and can be done  
in accordance with a scope guide or owner’s  
instructions.  
Your scope has an electronic reticle. There  
are 11 degrees of illumination. The rheostat is  
the knob located at the back of the scope. It is  
labeled with numbers OFF through 11. When  
the rheostat is set at OFF you will see a black  
etched reticle. The reticle will light up red elec-  
tronically as you rotate the rheostat through  
the numbers, 11 being the brightest.  
CAUTION: Be sure gun is not loaded. Always  
use safe gun handling procedures.  
All shooting should be done at an approved  
range or other safe area. Eye and ear protec-  
tion is recommended.  
DANGER: If you used a bore-obstructing  
device, remove it before proceeding. If  
the barrel has-been drilled for a mount,  
check that the screws do not protrude  
into the bore. Do not fire live or even blank  
ammunition with an obstructed barrel. An  
obstruction can cause serious damage  
to the gun and possible injury to you and  
others nearby.  
RANGEFINDER RETICLE  
The Mil-dot reticle is used in the 10x65Z. Mil  
dot reticle is a reliable means of determining  
distances to targets, establishing leads for  
moving targets, and for alternate aiming points  
for windage and elevation holds.  
Dots are spaced in one mil (milliradian) incre-  
ments on the crosshair. A distance to target  
can be calculated using the mil formula, that is  
based on the size of the object being targeted.  
Set the shooting distance on the compensa-  
tor’s scale.  
Look through the scope, and bracket the object  
between dots.  
From a steady position, fire three rounds at a  
target. Observe the impact errors and estimate  
the correction value. Adjust windage and  
elevation handles as needed to correct aim.  
1. Remove the dust caps from the top of the  
windage and elevation adjusting handles.  
2. Choose one of the lines as regard to which  
you can take readings more conveniently.  
3. Rotating the scale by protrusive pins set  
zero of the turning scale just opposite the  
chosen line.  
1 mil

The space between dot centers subtends one  
milliradian(mil). One mil. subtends 3.6 inches  
at 100 yards or 36 inches at 1,000 yards. To  
use this system effectively you must know the  
size of the target.  
BULLET DROP COMPENSATOR  
You should have zeroed your scope in at 200  
yards. When shooting at longer ranges the  
bullet drop compensator can be adjusted for  
200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 yards (1800 yars  
for .50 BMG). Pending on the distance click the  
bullet drop compensator to the appropriate set-  
ting. This will automatically adjust your reticle  
for that particular distance. Your scope also  
comes with other cams allowing you to change  
your bullet drop compensator to work with the  
different rifles.  
By measuring the height or width of a known  
(or approximately known target size) in mil-  
radians using the reticles, the target distance  
can be calculated as follows.  
R = range in meters, H = target size in meters,  
M = mil-radians of the image size:  
R = 1000 * H / M  
Bullet drop  
compensator with  
interchangeable  
cams  
Military shooters are trained to know that the  
common male torso is 39 inches from crotch  
to top of head. This is very close to exactly  
one meter. This formula then becomes  
R = 1000 / M for a one meter target size.  
All of the following formula are equivalent to the  
one above for estimating range.  
R = range in meters, H = target size in inches,  
M = mil-radians of the image:  
R = 25.4 * H / M  
CHANGING THE BULLET DROP  
COMPENSATOR  
R = range in yards, H = target size in inches,  
M = mil-radians of the image:  
Set the bullet drop compensator to the 200-  
yard range). Then remove the elevation dust  
cover from the cam. Next you will find three  
small set screws on the bullet drop compensa-  
tor right above the yardage numbers. Remove  
these screws and lift the cam off of the scope.  
Once you have done this select the desired  
caliber cam you would like to use and place  
this cam where you removed the previous one  
(make sure that a replacement cam is set to the  
200-yard range. Then tighten the cam in place  
by putting the three set screws back. Finally  
replace the dust cover.  
R = 27.78 * H / M  
R = range in yards, H = target size in feet,  
M = mil-radians of the image:  
R=333.3 * H / M

MAINTAINING YOUR RIFLE SCOPE  
Your rifle scope is waterproof and shockproof.  
However, you should never try to take apart or  
clean it internally (it will void your warranty). If  
your scope ever does need repairs or adjust-  
ments, it should be returned to ATN’s service  
department. The exposed optical surfaces  
will perform their best if they are occasionally  
wiped clean with a lens cloth or with optical  
quality lens paper like those for eyeglasses or  
camera lenses. Maintain the metal surfaces of  
your rifle scope by removing any dirt or sand  
with a soft brush so as to avoid scratching the  
finish. Wipe down the scope with a damp cloth  
and follow with a dry cloth. Finally, going over  
the tube with a silicone treated cloth will restore  
luster and protect the scope against corrosion.  
Be careful not to touch the any of the lenses  
with the silicone cloth.
