TO BORE SIGHT YOUR RIFLESCOPE:

1. Placetheriflesolidlyonarestandremovethebolt.

3. Movetherifleandtherestuntilthetargetisvisuallycenteredinsidethebarrel.

4. Withthetargetcenteredinthebore,makewindageandelevationadjustmentsuntilthereticlecross-hairisalsocenteredoverthetarget.

Note - If a laser bore sighting or any other similar device inside the bore

was used, it must be removed before firing. An obstructed bore can cause

serious damage to the gun and possible injury to the shooter.

Zeroing the Scope

IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECKS:

• Alwayscheckyourweaponandsurroundingsforsafety.

• Followallweaponmanufacturersafetyguidelines.

• Alwaysshootfromasolidrestusingconsistentandproperform.

• Besurethatyourtargetisleveltoaidinaccuratesight-inprocess.

TO ZERO THE SCOPE:

1. Startsight-inprocessfrom25yards,fromsolidrestfire3-shotgroup,ensuringthatyoufireatsamespoteachtime.Usegridlinesontargettocenterandlevelyourcross-hairs.

2. Afterthefirst3-shotgroup,makeadjustmentstobringbulletimpacttocenteroftargetyou’reshootingat.Repeatthisprocessat100yardsandyouwillhaveaccurate100yardzero.

Note - Scope graduations are 1/4 MOA. Scope turrets are marked

with direction of bullet impact change. At 100 yards a 1/4 MOA scope

adjustment will move bullet impact 1/4 inch in direction adjusted. At 25

yards that same 1/4 MOA adjustment will be 4 times smaller, so 1/4 MOA

adjustment at 25 yards will move bullet impact 1/16 of an inch.

Zero Reset of Turrets By zeroing the rifle at 100 yards, the shooter can calculate how

many clicks of adjustment are needed for different distances or

wind conditions.

TO ZERO RESET YOUR TURRETS AFTER YOUR RIFLE IS

SIGHTED IN:

1.Unscrewtheturretcap.

2.Removethescrewfromcenterofturretandtakeoffthe

turretknob.
