Range Sight-In and RZR Zero Stop Set
After the riflescope has been bore-sighted, final sight-in 
and RZR Zero Stop set should be done at the range using 
the exact ammunition expected to be used while shooting. 
Sight in and zero the riflescope at the preferred distance. 
100 yards is the most common zero distance, although a 200 
yard zero may be preferred for long distance applications. 
1. Be sure to follow all safe shooting practises.
Before shooting,
be sure the reticle is in focus (see Reticle Focus Adjustment).
2. At your preferred zero distance, fire a three-shot group as 
precisely as possible.
3. Next, adjust the reticle to match the approximate center of the 
shot group (see section on Windage and Elevation Adjustment). 
As previously noted in the section on bore sighting, the elevation turret cap 
turret should be removed and zero stop lock screws should be loosened.
4. If the rifle is very solidly mounted and cannot be moved, 
simply look through the scope and adjust the reticle until it is 
centered on the fired group. 
5. Carefully fire another three-shot group and see if the bullet 
group is centered on the bullseye.
After obtaining satisfactory zero, set the RZR zero stop:
1. Re-tighten the three zero stop lock screws. Do not over tighten: 
thumb and forefinger on the short end of supplied hex wrench 
will be sufficient. 
2. Replace elevation turret cap, being sure to align “0” mark on cap 
with the zero reference line on scope body. Push the cap straight 
down and avoid turning while doing this. 
3. Be sure the cap is fully down and re-tighten elevation cap 
retaining screws. Do not overtighten: using thumb and forefinger 
on short end of hex wrench will be sufficient.
Note: To re-zero for a different load, repeat complete bore 
sighting and range sight-in procedures. It is important to always 
begin any sight-in adjustments by turning elevation turret 
clockwise until fully stopped.
Re-Indexing Zero Mark on Windage Knob
If desired, the windage knob may be re-indexed to zero after 
sight-in. This will allow an easy return to the zero point if 
temporary windage corrections are dialed in the field.
1. After completing the final sight-in, fully loosen the three 
windage turret cap retaining screws and carefully pull the turret 
cap straight off. Re-position with the “0” mark on the cap aligned 
with the zero reference line on the turret post and push the cap 
straight down. Avoid rotating while pushing down. 
2. Be sure the cap is fully down and re-tighten windage knob 
retaining screws. Do not overtighten: using thumb and forefinger 
on short end of hex wrench will be sufficient.
If necessary, make another adjustment to the riflescope and 
fire another group to verify zero. This procedure can be 
repeated as many times as necessary to achieve a perfect zero.
