ZEROING WITH LIVE AMMUNITION SCOPES WITH ILLUMINATED RETICLES
WARNING: ALL SHOOTING SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT
AT AN APPROVED RANGE OR OTHER SAFE AREA.
EYE AND EAR PROTECTION IS RECOMMENDED.
Final sighting-in of your rifle should be carried out
with live ammunition, based on your preferred
target distance.
DANGER: If a bore sighting collimator or any other
bore obstructing device was used, it must be removed
before zeroing with live ammunition. An obstruction
can cause serious damage to the gun and possible
personal injury to yourself and others nearby.
Sighting in should be at the distance that you are
normally going to shoot. The parallax should be set
to this distance during the sighting in process.
Set variable-power scope to highest power then from
a steady rest position fire three rounds at target.
Observe point of impact on the target and adjust
windage and elevation adjusters as needed to
correct aim. Repeat until on target zero is correct.
NOTE: Each click of adjustment changes bullet strike at
a shooting distance of 100 yards by the amount shown
on the windage and elevation screw dials (see page 3)
Resettable turrets:
After zeroing, loosen the two Phillips screws on the
turret top about 1/2 turn, take care not to disturb your
zero by “losing” a click or two when loosening the
screws. Rotate the turret top/drum (which should now
turn freely) to align the “o” with the index line on the
turret body (see page 3 fig.6). Retighten the screws in
the windage and elevation adjustment turrets.
If your rifle scope is equipped with an illuminated reticle,
the rheostat is located at either the top of the
eyebell (fig.1) or on the “third turret”(fig.2). If you have
purchased a Hawke digital scope the illumination
buttons can be found on the top of the eyebell (fig.3).
The rheostat provides adjustment for varying degrees
of reticle brightness. When using the illuminated reticle,
the highest brightness settings are recommended for
daytime use where the ambient light is bright. This will
allow the reticle to be visible against dark backgrounds
such as woods. At times of low light such as dawn or
dusk, the lowest brightness settings are recommended,
These settings will not obscure the target. For digital
illumination see separate instructions.
NOTE: The lower settings may not be visible during
bright daylight.
The batteries are CR2032 coin style lithium batteries.
To insert a battery unscrew the battery compartment
cap on the top of the rheostat adjustment turret,
and then insert a new one “+” up (fig.4).
