Before the final tightening of the scope ring screws, adjust for
maximum eye relief to avoid injury from recoil.
Eye Relief and Reticle Alignment
1. Set the riflescope to the middle of its magnification range.
2. Slide the riflescope as far forward as possible in the rings.
3. While viewing through the riflescope in a normal shooting
position, slowly slide the riflescope back towards the shooter’s face—
paying attention to the field of view. Just as the full view is visible, stop.
4. Without disturbing the front-back placement, rotate the riflescope
until the vertical crosshair exactly matches the vertical axis of the
rifle. Use a reticle leveling tool, plumb bob, or an adjustable set of
feeler gauges placed between a one-piece base and the flat bottom of
the riflescope’s center section for this procedure.
5. After aligning the reticle, tighten and torque the ring screws down
per the manufacturer’s instructions. Use caution and do not over-
tighten.
To make the adjustment:
Bore Sighting
Initial bore sighting of the riflescope will save time and money
at the range. This can be done using a mechanical or laser bore
sighter according to the manufacturer’s instructions. On some
rifles, bore sighting can be accomplished by removing the bolt
and visually sighting through the barrel.
1. Place the rifle solidly on a rest and remove the bolt.
2. Sight through the bore at a target approximately 100 yards
away.
3. With the target centered in the bore, make windage
and elevation adjustments until the reticle crosshair is also
centered over the target.

Use of an adjustable set of feeler
gauges between a one-piece base
and flat bottom section of the
riflescope to square the riflescope
(and reticle) to the base.
