It has a tool-less side compartment battery removal system.

It offers a brighter 4 MOA dot with 10 brightness settings.

The objective lens in a red dot sight is positioned off-axis and appears tilted. This angle allows the light generated by the battery-powered LED light source inside the unit to be reflected back into the sight. This reflected light becomes the “dot” or aiming reference that the shooter sees. This engineered “bending” of light is what makes red-dot sights popular and easy to use.

WARNING!: BEFORE MOUNTING YOUR SIGHT, REPLACING ITS BATTERY, OR REMOVING OR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON THE SIGHT, BE SURE ACTION IS OPEN, CLIP OR MAGAZINE IS REMOVED AND A ROUND IS NOT IN THE CHAMBER. DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY WORK UNTIL THE GUN HAS BEEN CLEARED AND DETERMINED TO BE SAFE.

Your AR Optics Sight includes a riser block (Enrage, Incinerate, First Strike 2.0) or high rise mount (TRS-26) that fits Picatinny or Weaver style rails.

Ensure the base you use is manufactured specifically for your firearm and creates a uniform mounting platform, properly installed and securely fastened according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

There is no set eye relief for your AR Optics sight (eye relief is unlimited). However, you should provide at least three inches of clearance between the viewing lens and your eye when in the shooting position. Note that firearms with adjustable length-of-pull (“LOP”) buttstocks can affect usable eye relief.

WARNING: IF THE SIGHT IS NOT MOUNTED FAR ENOUGH FORWARD, ITS REARWARD MOTION MAY INJURE THE SHOOTER WHEN THE RIFLE RECOILS.

1. Set the mount onto the base rail or bases so that they align with the crosscut grooves.

2. Work the mount into the base until the crossbolt seats into the groove.

3. Securely tighten the locking nut with a coin or screwdriver. CAUTION: Do not overtighten.

1. Loosen the shaft by means of the provided multi-tool, so that the locking bar can clamp around the Picatinny/ Weaver rail.

2. Install the sight to the weapon rail by tightening the shaft. First, ensure that the sight is correctly positioned and that the shaft fits into a groove on the Picatinny/Weaver rail. To make sure that the shaft is firmly tightened, screw the shaft clockwise until a light resistance can be encountered. CAUTION: Do not overtighten.

3. Finally, make sure that the shaft with locking bar is firmly tightened around the base rail.

1. Any Weaver or Picatinny style base is suitable for mounting the First Strike 2.0. Make sure the base you use is manufactured specifically for your pistol, rifle or shotgun. Be sure the base is properly installed and securely fastened according to the manufacturer’s instructions for your safety.

2. Loosen the hex bolt on the mount of the sight using the provided tool. Position the mount on your base rail so that the crossbolt engages a slot. Tighten the hex bolt. CAUTION: Do not overtighten.

Before powering on your sight for the first time, you will need to open the battery compartment and remove the protective sticker or plastic disc from the battery. Refer to the Parts Guide diagrams in the PDF for the specific location on your model.

If your reticle grows dim or doesn’t light up, replace the battery.

For Enrage/Incinerate/TRS-26: Unscrew the round battery compartment cover using a coin.

For First Strike 2.0: Pull out the battery tray. If necessary, insert a small screwdriver in the open slot of the battery tray to leverage it out slightly first.

Insert a new CR2032 lithium battery, paying close attention to the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation, which varies by model (refer to diagrams in the PDF’s Parts Guide).

Replace the battery cover or tray.

CAUTION: When replacing the battery cover, be sure that the O-ring is present and not damaged. Failure to do so could result in water leakage into the battery compartment.

Verify the red dot is present by switching the power on.

For Enrage/Incinerate models: Activate the illuminated dot by turning the rheostat knob (6) to any numbered position. To switch off the sight, turn the rheostat knob to select a dot mark between any two numbers.

For TRS-26/First Strike 2.0 models: Press and release the “Up” arrow button (6) to power on the sight. To switch power off, press and hold the “Down” arrow button (6).

For Enrage/Incinerate models: Turn the rheostat knob (6) clockwise to increase brightness and counterclockwise to decrease brightness. Setting “1” is the dimmest, and setting “8” is the brightest.

For TRS-26/First Strike 2.0 models: Press and release the “Up” arrow button (6) to increase brightness. Press and release the “Down” arrow button (6) to decrease brightness.

WARNING!: SINCE THIS PROCEDURE INVOLVES LIVE FIRE, IT SHOULD BE DONE AT AN APPROVED RANGE OR OTHER SAFE AREA. CHECK BORE FOR OBSTRUCTIONS. AN OBSTRUCTED BORE MAY CAUSE INJURY TO YOU AND OTHERS NEAR BY. EYE & EAR PROTECTION IS RECOMMENDED.

1. With the sight mounted, rest the gun on a solid support. Switch on the sight’s power and adjust brightness as needed until the dot is easily visible.

2. Remove the windage (5) and elevation (4) adjustment caps (if present).

3. Sight along the barrel and aim at a target 50 to 100 yards away. Sight through your AR Optics Red Dot and turn the windage and/or elevation adjustments by hand (or using a coin/tool if needed) to align the center dot with the target as seen along the barrel. Each click of adjustment moves the point of impact by the amount written on the adjustments. Once the scope is zeroed, replace the adjustment caps.

1. With the sight mounted, rest the gun on a solid support. Switch on the sight’s power and adjust brightness as needed until the dot is easily visible.

2. Start by sighting along the barrel and aim at a target 25 to 50 yards away. View through your First Strike sight and gently rotate the windage (5) and/or elevation (4) adjustments, using the supplied tool, to align the red dot with the target as seen along the barrel.

3. You should then fire a test shot to determine the point of impact of your weapon. If you are not hitting your aiming point (the center of the target), make an adjustment by turning the windage or elevation screw(s) in the direction you want the bullet to move. Use the Point of Impact Chart provided below to determine the proper amount of adjustment.

Point of Impact Chart (First Strike 2.0)

Extreme heat (moist or dry): no special procedures required. Avoid prolonged exposure if possible.

Extreme cold: extreme low temperature may shorten battery life. It could also make the rotary dial (brightness control) on the Incinerate/Enrage a little harder to turn than at normal temperatures.

Salt air: no special procedures required.

Sea spray, water, mud and snow: ensure that battery cap and the two adjustment caps (if present) are tightened before exposing the sight to sea spray, mud, snow or before immersing the sight in water. Hand tighten only. Keep lens covers closed when sight is not being used. Clean lenses with lens paper/cloth (see caution note below) and wipe the sight dry as soon as possible after exposure.

Dust storms and sand storms: keep lens covers closed when sight is not being used.

CAUTION: The lenses shall never be cleaned with fingers but with lens paper/cloth, to avoid scratching the glass.

Use a soft brush or “canned air” to remove any loose debris (sand, grass, etc.) prior to using the lens paper or soft clean cloth.

Possible Causes/Solutions:

Discharged battery: Replace battery with a new CR2032 lithium cell.

Battery installed incorrectly: Remove and reinstall battery, referring to the Parts Guide battery compartment image in the PDF for correct orientation.

Battery not making good contact: Clean contact surfaces and reinstall battery.

Defective Rotary Switch (Enrage/Incinerate): Contact Bushnell customer service.

Possible Causes/Solutions:

Adjustment screw is at its limit: Check alignment of mount to barrel.

Impact point is moving: Check mount and weapon rail (or carry handle) stability.
