To get the best performance from your Crossfire II riflescope, proper
mounting is essential. Although not difficult, the correct steps must be
followed. If you are unsure of your abilities, it would be best to use the
services of a qualified gunsmith.
Rings and Bases
Mount an appropriate base and matching rings to your rifle according to
the manufacturer’s instructions. This Vortex Crossfire II riflescope will
require 1-inch rings.
Use the lowest ring height that will provide complete clearance of scope
and rifle—avoiding any contact with barrel, receiver, bolt handle or any
other part of the rifle. A low mounting will help assure proper cheek
weld, aid in establishing a solid shooting position, and promote fast target
acquisition.
Eye Relief and Reticle Alignment
Begin with riflescope loosely installed in rings on the rifle. Before
tightening the scope ring screws, adjust scope position for maximum
eye relief to avoid injury from recoil.
• Slide the riflescope as far forward as possible in the rings.
• 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.
• Without disturbing the front-back placement, rotate the
riflescope until the vertical crosshair exactly matches the vertical
axis of the rifle. Use of bubble levels, a reticle leveling tool, or a
weight hung on a rope as a vertical reference will help with this
procedure.
• After aligning the reticle, tighten and torque the ring screws
down per the manufacturer’s instructions.
