els) focus from 10 yards to infinity. Simply turn the
objective to the desired distance. This model does not
use the 720 degree system.
Mounting Your Scope
1. Place both rings on your mount base or receiver, and
tighten slightly. Remove the top half of the rings and
place the scope in the bottom half of the rings. Once
you have determined proper ring spacing (see Figure
11) and eye relief (see Fig. 12), tighten the top half of
the rings.
2. To center the scope, the
elevation adjustment knob or
assembly, should be directly in
alignment with the bore axis of
the gun. The windage adjusting
knob should then be in a 90º
angle to the right of the elevation adjustment knob, the
scope should then be perfectly squared and aligned.
3. The final step will now be to secure the scope by
tightening the rings to the mount or receiver.
Sighting In Your Gun
Your new scope has been optically centered at the
factory and superior performance will be obtained with
minimal adjustment. If you are unable to obtain the
services of a qualified gunsmith or do not have access
to a collimator, the following procedures will be highly
effective and efficient.
NOTE: Most sight in problems are caused by
poor ring alignment.
Prior to sighting in and bore sighting it is
extremely important to know the windage and
elevation specifications of your particular model
of scope. As a general rule the more the magnifi-
cation the less internal adjustment is available.
Specifications for Sightron’s scopes are located
in our annual catalog or on our website.
