Nikko Stirling Targetmaster 4 16x44 Manual

Just tried out my new Nikko Stirling Targetmaster scope on my M77 Heavey barrel.243 Varmint. I bore sighted at 25 yards with the bolt out looking through the barrel and made the adjustments. Quick report delphi 2010 tutorial. I then shot one shot at 50 yards and was 2 inches to the right but on vertically.

Took one shot at 100 and 200 and was dead on. I am shooting a.58 GR Hornady Superformance. At 3925 muzz. At 300 I held for.75 mildot down from center cross and was about 2.5 inches low. At 350 I was dead on with 1 mil dot. At 400 I was 2 inches high with 1.25 mils. I was really impressed with the accuracy of and clarity of the scope.

Side by side we were shooting my Howa.223 with a VXIII Leupold and I want to say the glass on the Nikko was just as clear if not better. One thing the Nikko has is lockable turrets. To adjust you just pull up and turn and then push back down. The scope zeroed nice.

Just wanted to post this because i know there are shooters looking for information on this scope like I was.

There are only four models in Nikko Stirling’s re-vamped Target Master range and they come in the main with either Mil-Dot or their own LRX reticule. The higher magnification models are also available with the new FT reticule, so you’ve got more options than it might first appear! For the test Highland Outdoors (the UK distributors) supplied a 4 – 16 X 50 with LRX reticule and a 6 – 24 X 56 with Mil Dot.

At a later date I hope to test the more Field Target oriented 10 – 50X model with the FT grid reticule, but for now I feel these two more than capably illustrate what the Targetmasters are all about. All models feature 30mm, one-piece, alloy body tubes and first impressions are of good build quality and useful features.

The fast-focus eyepiece is quite long and the magnification ring with a raised hub is easy to operate and smooth across the range. Eye relief is a relatively lengthy yet practical 3.5 - 4” which will suit most users, so no worries for those shooting recoiling. Saddle Up Moving forward brings us to the saddle, which is a familiar design as it shows the large, open, target-style turrets that feature a pull up/push down locking. On the left as ever is the side focus drum (parallax) which combines the rheostat for the illuminated reticule. Power is supplied by the usual CR2032 button-type Lithium battery. The 1/8” MOA turrets offer 50-clicks per turn and 16 full revolutions.

This may seem a lot but considering the precise MOA this ensures you don’t run out of adjustment for setting zero so no need to find adjustable mounts. Movement is positive and easily heard and the locking system is strong, secure and easy to operate.

Once you have set zero and locked the turrets in place, you can return the settings on the numbered dial to zero to provide a reference point. This is achieved by using a coin or screwdriver to loosen the slot head screw on the ends of the turret one full turn. So allowing the outer vernier dial to revolve freely without affecting your setting, once set, nip up the screw and all is solid. Focus, Focus The side-parallax is marked for 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 500 yards and 8. From 10-25-yds there’s room to mark a few other ranges to suit your eye, but for those wanting a more precise and faster adjuster there’s an optional 100mm or 150mm side-wheel available. This slips over the raised lugs of the focus drum and sits securely in place by two grub screws (Allan key supplied).
