1. Loosen the three turret cap retaining screws on the elevation turret.
Gently pull the turret cap straight up and off of the turret post—being
careful not to rotate the turret post.
2. Slide the CRS shims on the center section of the turret post below
the V-grooved part.
3. After filling the center gap on the post with shims, replace the
elevation cap.
After obtaining a satisfactory zero, the CRS stop can be set using the
following technique:
S ETTING THE CRS S TOP AND I NDEXING E LEVATION K NOB 4. Align the turret cap so the “0” mark on the cap matches up with the
“0” reference line on the turret post. Again, be sure not to rotate the
actual turret mechanism in the process.
5. Re-tighten the retaining screws, but do not overtighten. Use of
thumb and forefinger on the short end of the hex wrench will provide
sufficient force.
Use as many shims as necessary
to completely fill up the space.
Do not try to force in a last shim
once the clearance is very close.
Indexing Windage Dial with Zero Reset
Viper HS LR riflescopes feature a windage dial that will allow you to
re-index the zero indicator after sight-in without disturbing your settings.
This allows you to quickly return to your original zero if temporary windage
corrections are used in the field. Index the windage dial in this way:
1. Remove the outer cap and pull the adjustment dial outward against
the spring tension until it stops.
2. With the dial pulled fully outwards,
rotate the dial to reposition the zero mark
on the index line.
3. Release the dial,
allowing it to return to the
normal inward position.
Grasp turret dial and pull outward. Then,
rotate dial until the etched zero mark aligns
with the indicator line on scope body.
Remove the outer
cap and expose the
turret dial.
Alternate shim installation
direction 180 degrees with
each shim.
Place CRS shims in this groove.
