MOUNTING THE RIFLESCOPE

Warning: Be sure that the firearm is not loaded. Always practice safe firearms handling.

Always check that the diameter of the riflescope body tube matches the diameter of the
riflescope rings that you wish to use.

Always make sure that the base of the rings will fit your rifle. High recoil rifles may require rings
fitted with a recoil stop pin.

1. Fix the rings to the rifle base – do not completely tighten.
2. Remove the ring tops and lay the riflescope into the rings. The riflescope should be mounted

as low as possible without touching the barrel, rear sight, or the receiver.
