Parallax Correction
The Sightmark Citadel riflescope is equipped with a side focus dial that is used to eliminate parallax and finely focus the image. Parallax occurs when the image of the target does not focus at the same optical plane as the reticle inside the riflescope. When parallax is present, the reticle appears to move over the target when the shooter’s eye is not centered to the eyepiece. Adjusting the side focus dial properly will eliminate parallax.
Windage and Elevation Adjustments
The Sightmark Citadel riflescope has finger adjustable elevation and windage adjustments with audible clicks. The Citadel 1-6×24 has capped turrets, the turret covers must be unscrewed in order to make adjustments.
CR1 Reticle
The CR1 reticle is a second focal plane, minute of angle (MOA) reticle. This reticle is calibrated for 5.56×45 / .223 Rem. 55gr FMJ ammo. The reticle was designed for a 100 yard zero. At 6x magnification, the 1 MOA aiming dot is used to engage targets from 0 to 200 yards. The reticle consists of a circle dot design for quick target acquisition in close range engagements. At 1x magnification, the outer circle will cover approximately 15 inches of a target at 25 yards. This is nearly equivalent to shoulder width of IPSC targets. Below the aiming dot, holdovers can be used to determine range of IPSC targets and perform ballistic holdovers out to 600 yards. Finally, the main horizontal subtension is scaled in 5 MOA increments (at 6x) and can be used for leads for moving targets.
Diopter Adjustment
The Sightmark Citadel riflescope eyepiece is designed to rotate to adjust for diopter. Diopter is the measurement of the eye’s curvature. By rotating the eyepiece, the diopter is adjusted to properly match each person’s vision. If the reticle does not appear clear, crisp, nor sharp, rotate the eyepiece until the reticle becomes clear and sharp. This adjustment should stay the same unless the riflescope’s operator changes.
