TO BORE SIGHT YOUR RIFLESCOPE:

1. Placetheriflesolidlyonarestandremovethebolt.

2. Sightthroughtheboreatatargetapproximately100yardsaway.

3. Movetherifleandtherestuntilthetargetisvisuallycenteredinsidethebarrel.

4. Withthetargetcenteredinthebore,makewindageandelevationadjustmentsuntilthereticlecrosshairisalsocenteredoverthetarget.

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.Usegridlinesontargettocenterandlevelyourcrosshairs.

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

Note - Scope graduations are ½ MOA. Scope turrets are marked with

direction of bullet impact change. At 100 yards a ½ MOA scope adjustment

will move bullet impact ½ inch in direction adjusted. At 25 yards that same

½ MOA adjustment will be 4 times smaller, so ¼ MOA adjustment at 25

yards will move bullet impact ⅛ of an inch.
