RIFLESCOP

AintenAnce

The Razor HD riflescope requires very little routine maintenance
other than periodically cleaning the exterior lenses. The exterior of
the scope may be cleaned by wiping with a soft, dry cloth.

Cleaning

1. Be sure to blow away any dust or grit on the lenses prior to
wiping the surfaces.

2. Using your breath, or a very small amount of water or pure
alcohol, can help remove stubborn things like dried water spots.

All components of the Razor HD are permanently lubricated,
so no additional lubricant should be applied. If possible, avoid
exposing your Vortex riflescope to direct sunlight or any very hot
location for long periods of time.

Lubrication

When cleaning the lenses, be sure to use products that are
specifically designed for use on coated optical lenses.

Note: Other than to remove the turret caps, do not attempt to
disassemble any components of the riflescope. Disassembling of
riflescope may void warranty.

Roubleshooting

Many times, problems thought to be with the scope are actually
mount problems. Be sure the mounts are tight to the rifle and the
scope is secured so it doesn’t twist or move in the rings.

An insufficient windage or elevation adjustment range may indicate
problems with the base mount, base mount holes drilled in the rifle’s
receiver, or barrel/receiver alignment.

Check for Correct Base and Ring Alignment

1. Re-center the scope reticle (see Centering of the Reticle on page 8).

2. Attach bore sighter, or remove bolt and visually boresight rifle.

3. Look through the scope. If the reticle appears way off center on the
bore sighter image or when compared to the visually centered target
when looking through rifle’s bore, there may be a problem with the
bases or rings being used. Confirm correct use and proper orientation
of base and rings.

There are many issues that can cause poor bullet grouping.

Grouping Problems

1. Maintain a good shooting technique and use a solid rest.

2. Check that all screws on rifle’s action are properly tightened.

3. Be sure rifle barrel and action are clean and free of excessive
oil or copper fouling.

4. Check that rings are correctly torqued per the manufacturer’s
instructions.

5. Some rifles and ammunition don’t work well together—try
different ammunition and see if accuracy improves.
