the top of the receiver. (You may want to apply a remov-
able locking compound to each screw to assure they stay
secure under the effects of recoil). The mount with two
holes parallel to the receiver is mounted on the front of
the receiver. The mount with holes side by side (perpen-
dicular to the receiver) mounts at the back.
IMPORTANT: The “see-through” mounts provided with
some Model 94s are slanted front to back. They should be
installed with the slant toward the front.
3. Once the mounts are in place, lay the scope inside the
stirrups, replace the caps and lightly tighten the cap
screws.
4. Before fully tightening the cap screws adjust the scope
forward or backward to achieve the proper eye relief (eye
relief is the distance your eye must be from the rear lens of
the scope to bring the entire field of view into focus).
Proper eye relief is extremely important with heavier cal-
ibers. To prevent injury resulting from the rim of a scope
hitting your forehead, follow all instructions concerning
eye relief provided with your scope.
5. When the proper eye relief is found, tighten the cap
screws in a rotating, crossing pattern. (Do not over tight-
en so as to strip the screws or damage the scope tube).
6. Bore sight your rifle by placing a target 50 feet away
and aligning the open sights to the target. Now adjust the
cross hairs of the scope (as explained in your scope’s
instructions) to center on the bull’s-eye. The rifle must be
held extremely steady during this operation. If you have
“see-through” scope mounts it helps to first fire a group at
50 feet and then adjust the open sights to put your group
on the bull’s-eye.
With the cross hairs adjusted as explained above, test fire
a few shots using the scope to confirm that you are shoot-
ing on the paper.
7. Now carefully follow the instructions on sighting in
provided with your scope.
Important: If you are using a scope, you may consider
using a hammer extension. Refer to the instructions on
mounting a hammer extension later in this manual.
