THE LoWER THE SCoPE, THE BETTER
A scope mounted close to the rifle ensures proper cheek weld on
the stock for a stable firing position and allows for rapid target
acquisition . We recommend using the lowest possible ring height .
No specific clearance is required, but the scope must clear the bolt
handle, hammer (on lever actions and handguns), sights, and
barrel .
When installed, be sure that your scope does not interfere with
firearm operation and does not contact anything except the
mount rings .
How to Install the Scope
C A U T I O N
Always check and be certain that the firearm is unloaded
before undertaking any work upon it.
