MOUnTInG
To achieve the best accuracy from your rifle, your Bushnell scope must be
mounted properly. We strongly recommend that those unfamiliar with
proper procedures have the scope mounted by a qualified gunsmith.
Should you decide to mount it yourself, be sure to follow these guidelines:
1. Use a high-quality mount with bases designed to fit your particular
rifle. The scope should be mounted as low as possible without
touching either the barrel or the receiver.
2. Carefully follow the instructions packed with the scope mounts you
have selected.
3. Before tightening the mount rings, look through the scope in
your normal shooting position. Adjust the scope (either forward
or backward) until you find the furthest point forward (to insure
maximum eye relief ) that allows you to see a full field of view. WARNING:
If the scope is not mounted far enough forward, its rearward motion may injure the
shooter when the rifle recoils.
4. Rotate the scope in the rings until the reticle pattern is perpendicular
to the bore and the elevation adjustment is on top.
5. Tighten the mounting screws as tight as possible.
6. Check to ensure that the mounted scope allows the firearm to be
operated safely and comfortably (in all the shooting positions you
might use), and avoids contact with any part other than the mounting
rings.
BORe SIGHTInG
Bore sighting is a preliminary procedure to achieve proper alignment of
the scope with the rifle bore. It is best done with the aid of a Bushnell Bore
Sighter (laser, magnetic or standard kit w/arbors). If a bore sighter is not
available, initial sighting in can be done as follows:
1. Remove the bolt and sight through the gun barrel at a 100 yard target.
2. Then sight through the scope and bring the crosshairs to the same
point on the target.
3. Certain mounts have integral windage adjustments and, when
bore sighting, these should be used instead of the scope's internal
adjustments. If major elevation adjustments are needed, they should
be accomplished by shimming the mount base.

Final sighting-in of your rifle should be done with live ammunition, based
on your expected shooting distance. If most of your shots will be at short
range, zero-in at 100 yards. But, for long-range shooting at big game, most
experienced shooters zero-in about three inches high at 100 yards. Three-
shot groups are useful for averaging the point of impact.
