Riflescope Mounting
To get the best performance from your Vortex Razor
riflescope, proper mounting
is essential. Although not
difficult, the correct steps
must be followed. If you
are unsure of your abilities,
it would be best to use
the services of a qualified
gunsmith.
Centering of the Reticle
The Vortex Razor HD riflescope is pre-set from the factory
with the reticle in the center of the adjustment ranges. This is
the best position to begin sight-in.
1. Loosen the elevation turret cap retaining screws and remove
the elevation cap.
2. Loosen the eleveation zero stop lock screws.
3. Turn the windage and elevation turrets clockwise until
stopped.
4. Turn windage and elevation turrets counter-clockwise 4.25
full rotations to approximately center the reticle.
If you have changed the settings and wish to reset the
reticle to the center, this can be done easily:
Rings and Bases
Mount an appropriate base and matching rings to your
rifle according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
The Vortex Razor 5–20x50
riflescope requires 35mm
rings.
Vortex Optics highly
recommends using the
matched Vortex Optics
Omega 35mm precision ring
sets which may be purchased
from an authorized Vortex
riflescope dealer. These rings will mount to any quality Weaver
or Picatinny type base.
If using aftermarket rings, use the lowest ring height that will
give complete clearance of scope and rifle—avoiding any
contact with barrel, receiver, bolt handle or any other part of
the rifle. A low mounting will help assure proper cheek weld,
aid in establishing a solid shooting position, and promote fast
target acquisition.
At this point, the riflescope is ready for bore sighting (see
Bore Sighting section).
