(4) Adjustment of the riflescope
Sighting through the riflescope, align the rifle with your aiming point on the target and shoot a trial round. If the bullet does not hit the aiming point, adjust the elevation and windage as follows:
• If the bullet hits under the aiming point, turn the elevation adjustment turret (counter-clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “U” for up. If the bullet hits high, turn the elevation adjustment turret (clock-
wise) in the direction of the arrow marked “D” for down.
• If the bullet hits to the right of the aiming point, turn the windage adjustment turret (clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “L” for left. If the bullet hits to the left of the aiming point, turn the windage
adjustment turret (counter-clockwise) in the direction of the arrow marked “R” for right.
• For the high profile turret, adjustment is made by turning the turret by hand. If the bullet hits under the aiming point, turn the turret in the direction of the arrow marked “U”. If the bullet hits to the left of the
aiming point, turn the turret in the direction of the arrow marked “R”.
• After the reticle has been adjusted to the point of impact, replace the turret cap for both the windage and elevation adjustment turrets.
(5) Zero setting of adjustment turrets
The elevation adjustment and windage adjustment turrets have a retracting system. After the reticle has been adjusted to the point of impact, pull out the
elevation adjustment or windage adjustment turret.
The turret can now be turned freely. Align the zero number to the index line to set the zero setting, and then release the turret. The turret automatically
retracts to the original position.
(6) Changing the turret*
Remove the turret cap by turning it counter-clockwise. Align the turret to the 0 (zero) position of the scale ring. This is to assure that the scale ring will be
correctly aligned to the new turret. (The alignment position should be remembered.)
With the turret held with your fingers to avoid shifting of the aligned scale ring, turn the screw in the top of the turret counter-clockwise with the supplied
hex key 1 until the screw comes out. Then remove the turret (Fig. 3-5).
Insert the new turret into position and align the scale ring to 0.
Insert the screw. By securing the turret with your fingers to avoid shifting of the scale ring, turn the screw clockwise with the supplied hex key, until the turret
is firmly secured.
*Please refer to “Supplied Item(s)” to see if your riflescope is provided with high profile turrets.
