Mounting the riflescope
WArning: Ensure eyebell flip-up cover is removed
from the riflescope when using high recoiling rifles.
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 scope rings that
you wish to use. Always purchase the best mounts
you can afford making sure that the base of the
mount will fit your rifle. High recoil rifles may require
mounts to be fitted with a recoil stop pin. All Hawke
Match Mounts are fitted with a recoil stop pin.
1. Fix the rings to the rifle base - do not tighten.
2. Lay the riflescope into the rings. The scope should
be mounted as low as possible without touching
either the barrel or the receiver.
3. Before tightening the rings, look through the scope
in your normal shooting position. Adjust the scope
(forward or backward) until you find the furthest
point forward (to ensure maximum eye relief) that
allows you to see a full field of view.
4. Rotate the scope in the rings until the reticle
pattern is perpendicular to the bore and the
elevation turret is on top.
5. Tighten the screws evenly on each side.
WArning: Avoid over tightening the rings. This can
damage the scope affecting performance or
rendering it inoperable.
WArning: When installing a riflescope to a rifle with
high levels of recoil, always ensure that there is
adequate eye relief. This will avoid eye injury.
