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.
pArAllAx AdjustMent
To give the best accuracy all riflescopes should be
parallax error-free at the required target distance.
Non-parallax adjustable riflescopes are set at 100 yds
to be parallax error-free. Any other distance can cause
a parallax error, this will show itself as a movement
of the reticle on the target. Riflescopes with parallax
adjustment allow the shooter to correct this error
for any target distance. After the zero-in process, we
recommend that the parallax adjustment is checked.
The riflescope has printed pre-set distance markings
on the parallax adjuster, these are only a guide to get
you started. Shooters should test and adjust the
parallax settings by using a measured distance to set
the optical system to your eye. It is best to first bench
rest your rifle, set the riflescope magnification to the
maximum setting, then proceed to check the parallax
markings, if required be prepared to re-mark the
adjuster to your own personal settings.

turrets. Adjust the windage and elevation
adjusters to position the reticle on the centre
of the target.
4. For windage adjustment, turn the windage
adjustment turret clockwise to move the point of
impact left and counter clockwise to move the
point of impact right. In the same manner, adjust
the elevation by turning the elevation adjustment
clockwise to lower the point of impact and
anti-clockwise to raise the point of impact.
NOTE: When using windage-adjustable rings, make
major windage correction with them. In certain
shooting situations such as close range air gunning
when specialised elevation adjustable rings are not
available, the rings may have to be shimmed. Only
final precision adjustment should be made with the
scopes adjustment turrets.
zeroing With live AMMunition
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.
WArning: 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 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 scopes to highest power then from
a steady rest position fire three rounds at a target.
