MOUNTING To
achiev
e
the
best
accuracy
fr
om
your
rifle,
your
B
ushnell
scope
must
be
mounted
pr
operly
.
(W
e
str
ongly
recommend
that
those
unfamiliar with pr
oper pr
ocedur
es hav
e the scope mounted b
y a qualified gunsmith). S
hould y
ou decide to mount it y
ourself:
1.
U
se
a
high-quality
mount
with
bases
designed
to
fit
your
par
ticular
rifle.
The
scope
should
be
mounted
as
lo
w
as
possible
without
touching either the barr
el or the r
eceiv
er
.
2.
Car
efully follo
w the instr
uctions packed with the scope mounts y
ou hav
e selected.
3.
B
efor
e
tightening
the
mount
rings,
look
thr
ough
the
scope
in
your
normal
shooting
position.
A
djust
the
scope
(either
for
war
d
or
backwar
d) until y
ou find the fur
thest point for
war
d (to ensur
e maximum ey
e r
elief
) that allo
ws y
ou to see a full field of vie
w
.
W
ARNING:
IF
THE
SCOP
E

FAR
ENOUGH
FOR

IT
S
REAR
W
ARD

MA
Y
INJURE
THE SHOO
TER

eticle pattern is perpendicular to the bor
e and the elev

.

BORE SIGHTING Bor
e
sighting
is
a
pr
eliminar
y
pr
ocedur
e
to
achiev
e
pr
oper
alignment
of
the
scope
with
the
rifle
’s
bor
e.
It
is
best
done
using
a
B
ushnell®
Bor
e
Sighter
. I
f a
bor
e
sighter
is
not
av
ailable,
it
can
be
done
as
follo
ws:
R
emo
ve
the
bolt
and
sight
thr
ough
the
gun
barr
el
at
a
100
yar
d
target.
Then
sight
thr
ough
the
scope
and
bring
the
cr
oss
hairs
to
the
same
point
on
the
target.
Cer
tain
mounts
hav
e
integral
windage
adjustments
and,
when
bor
e
sighting,
these
should
be
used
instead
of
the
scope
’s
internal
adjustments.
If
major
elev
ation
adjustments
ar
e needed, they should be accomplished b
y shimming the mount base.
ZEROING Final
sighting-in
of
your
rifle
should
be
done
with
liv
e
ammunition,
based
on
your
expected
shooting
distance.
If
most
of
your
shots
will
be
at
shor
t
range,
zer
o-in
at
100
yar
ds.
B
ut,
for
long-range
shooting
at
big
game,
most
experienced
shooters
zer
o-in
about
thr
ee
inches high at 100 yar
ds.
Thr
