2. Sightthroughtheboreatatargetapproximately25yardsaway.

3. Movetherifleandtherestuntilthetargetisvisuallycenteredinsidethebarrel.

Note - If a laser bore sighting or any other similar device inside the bore

was used, it must be removed before firing. An obstructed bore can cause

Zeroing the Scope

IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECKS:

• Alwayscheckyourweaponandsurroundingsforsafety.

• Followallweaponmanufacturersafetyguidelines.

• Alwaysshootfromasolidrestusingconsistentandproperform.

• Besurethatyourtargetisleveltoaidinaccuratesight-inprocess.

TO ZERO THE SCOPE:

2. Afterthefirst3-shotgroup,makeadjustmentstobringbulletimpacttocenteroftargetyou’reshootingat.Repeatthisprocessatwhateverrangeyouchooseandyouwillhaveaccuratezero.

Note - Scope graduations are 1 MOA. Scope turrets are marked with direction of bullet impact change.

At 100 yards a 1 MOA scope adjustment will move bullet impact 1 inch in direction adjusted. At 25

yards that same 1 MOA adjustment will be 4 times smaller, so 1 MOA adjustment at 25 yards will move

bullet impact 1/4 of an inch.
