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 1/2 MOA. Scope turrets are marked
with direction of bullet impact change. At 100 yards a 1/2 MOA scope
adjustment will move bullet impact ½ inch in direction adjusted. At 25
yards that same 1/2 MOA adjustment will be 4 times smaller, so 1/2 MOA
adjustment at 25 yards will move bullet impact ⅛ of an inch.
