Hi

I have just received a secondhand Theta 3-9x40 EG scope ( illuminated reticle) and was not sent a user manual

I searched on Google but could not find one so is there someone who could direct me to a PDF of the manual?

many thanks

There isn't much to know.

It likely uses a CR2032 battery under the illumination cap

You change the FOV by turning the adjustment ring in front of the eyepiece. (Power change ring)

Hi

Thanks for that ; I should have said this is my first rifle/scope combi so I need to know how to set up the scope using the controls.

Maybe there is a guide out there that will cover this for me

thanks

 
It's a generic rebranded cheap chinese scope, search '3-9x40 EG scope' on youtube and you'll find loads of hits of the same scope, but with different branding.

As @EDcase says, there really is nothing to them in terms of controls - you have adjustment turrets for windage and elevation (remove the caps, you will see the directions to turn on the dial underneath), a rotating ring to adjust the magnification, and a dial to switch on and adjust the power/colour of the illuminated reticle which has the battery underneath the cap.

There are millions of these on Aliexpress (again search '3-9x40 EG scope') - you'll be able to work out the operation of the scope from the information pictures they post in the adverts as above.

 
Search youtube with "How to zero a scope"

There will be loads of explanations ?

You'll need a steady shooting position and a target that you can see how far away from the centre the BBs hit.

Then just turn the adjustment screws a bit for correction of Windage (left-right) and Elevation (up-down)

Then shoot again and see if its closer to the centre of the target.
