Collimation points on Oberwerk Mariner 8x40 (1 Viewer)

[Steve S.]

I'm looking to find out where the collimation points are positioned on the Oberwerk Mariner 8x40. Does anyone have experience of correcting the collimation on this model. They are not out by much; just enough to be distracting. Although there is collimation advice on the Oberwerk website this seems to be for more recent models only.

All Mariners have the same screw locations for adjusting alignment. They're at the 10:00 o'clock and 2:00 o'clock positions, about 1/8" in from the edge of the rubber armor.

Thanks Kevin. I plucked up courage and experimented tentatively moving back the rubber armour with a small jeweller's screwdriver couple of weeks ago. I found the collimation points and carefully adjusted with a tiny screwdriver until they seemed to improve. I am happy with them now and they are quite the best 8x40s I own. However is there a specific tool you would recommend should I need to do this again. I feel I just got lucky this time!
