How to use the Veracity Riflescope
Eyepiece Focusing
The eyepiece can be focused so that the reticle appears
sharp and black. Adjusting the focus is quick and easy
to do, just follow this procedure:
1. Point the scope at the sky or a plain wall and take a
quick glance through the scope. If the reticle appears
sharp and black, no further adjustment is necessary.
2. If the reticle does not appear sharp and black, take
quick glances through the scope while rotating the
focus ring until the reticle pattern is sharp and black.
NOTE: Do not look through the eyepiece as you turn
the focus ring. Your eyes will adjust to the out-of-focus
condition.
Parallax/Focus Adjustment
Parallax is the apparent movement of the reticle in
relation to the target when the eye is not directly in
line behind the center of the scope. Images from
different distances focus in front of or behind the
scope’s reticle. Parallax is more noticeable with higher
magnification scopes.
To use the parallax/focus adjustment, rotate the knob
on the left side of the adjustment turret until the
numeral corresponding to the known target distance
lines up with the reference mark. If the distance is
unknown, rotate the adjustment knob until the target
image is sharply focused.
When the scope is set parallax-free for the distance
you are viewing, you should be able to move your eye
side-to-side or up and down without seeing the reticle
move appreciably in relation to the target.

Windage/Elevation Adjustment for Multi-Turn
Target Knobs with Zero Click Stop
– Applies to 4x-20x and 5x-25x models –
The Multi-Turn Target windage and elevation knobs
are designed for precise adjustment and feature Zero
Click Stop. The click value for each knob is indicated
on the dial. For shooting at extreme distances, the
elevation knob offers up to 15 MOA/rotation with multiple
revolutions of adjustment.
Use the following procedure when sighting-in if you
need additional downward point of impact adjustment
past the Zero Click Stop:
1) Turn the elevation adjustment knob clockwise to “0”.
2) Use the 2mm hex wrench
supplied with the scope to
loosen the 2 set screws on
the elevation adjustment
knob located just under
the top of the knob.
3) Pull up slightly on the
adjustment knob to the
second white hash mark
on the turret. Turn the knob
clockwise slightly more
(maybe 2-5 more clicks)
than the number of MOA
needed to achieve zero.
4) Once the elevation adjustment is complete, loosen
the two set screws and
reset the knob to “0”. With
the screws loose, push
down firmly on the knob
until it is fully seated on the
turret base and then
retighten the set screws.
NOTE: When retightening set screws on elevation knob,
maintain pressure on the top of cap to ensure proper
seating of adjustment dial.

NOTE: Windage adjustments are
made with a multi-direction
adjustment knob. Zero is set with
an indexing mark to allow for left
and right adjustments. Failure to
zero at the index mark may result
in limited windage adjustment.
Proper Windage Zero
Windage/Elevation Adjustment for E1 Hunter Knobs
– Applies to 2x-10x and 3x-15x models –
The low profile E1 Hunter Knobs feature a finger
adjustment for both windage and elevation. Once you
have successfully zeroed your scope, you can set the
zero on your dials with these simple steps:
1) With turret caps removed, grip knob top firmly and keep
knob from turning.
2) Put pen or other small
object into the small hole
located on the dial.
3) Keeping firm grip on the
knob, use the pen to turn
the dial back to zero, lining
up the number zero with
the white indicator dot.
Only the numbered dial
should move – do not allow
the entire knob to move or
else you will alter your windage
and elevation zero settings.
NOTE: You do not have to set the zero on your dials for
your scope to function properly. Doing so can give you
peace of mind that your zero is set, plus you can easily
confirm if it has moved at any time, but this step is
optional.

Mounting the Scope
Veracity riflescopes require 30mm rings. We recommend
using high-quality rings and bases, like the Burris
Signature Rings or Xtreme Tactical Rings and Xtreme
Tactical Bases. Quality components ensure that your
scope will remain safely and securely mounted, and
will provide the maximum accuracy. Use care when
mounting your scope as damage caused by improper
mounting is not covered by the Burris Forever
Warranty.
Care & Maintenance
The Veracity riflescope is fully waterproof and fogproof. In the event that the lenses are subjected to
dust, dirt or mud, follow these steps to clean and
protect the lens surface. Failure to remove grit before
final cleaning is sure to damage lens coatings.
Coarse dirt/debris must be removed from the lens
surface. The most convenient way to clean a lens
surface is to use a Lens Pen. Position the scope so
particles will fall away from the lens, and then use the
Lens Pen or soft brush to gently whisk away the
debris while blowing on the lens to dislodge the
particles. For heavy dirt, like dried mud, use a spray of
clean water or lens cleaning fluid to remove the dirt.
Your Burris riflescope will provide reliable performance
given reasonable care and treatment. All moving
assemblies are permanently lubricated. Only occasional
cleaning of the outside of the scope and the exterior
lenses is required. Never disassemble your scope.
Disassembly by anyone other than our factory will void
the warranty. If you have any other problems with
your riflescope, return it to the Burris factory for repair.

Veracity Riflescope Reticles
Veracity Riflescope Reticles help you overcome two of
the biggest challenges when shooting long-distance:
determining holdover at distance and hold-off for
wind drift. This technology is based on the popular
Burris Ballistic Plex® reticle that redefined trajectory
compensation. This section will explain how to use the
reticles found in Veracity Riflescopes.
Front Focal Plane (FFP)
All Veracity Riflescopes utilize a Front Focal Plane
system. Front Focal Plane systems (sometimes
referred to as First Focal Plane systems) place the
reticle in front of the erector assembly or zoom
mechanism. This allows the reticle to change size as
magnification is adjusted. In FFP systems, when
magnification is increased, the reticle size grows; as
magnification is lowered, the reticle size shrinks.
Because the reticle is changing with magnification, the
measurements of the reticle are always correct and are
proportional to whatever power setting you may be
on. This also means that the trajectory compensation
technology is also correct in Veracity Riflescopes at any
magnification.

Trajectory Compensation
To better determine holdover and compensate for
bullet drop, the patented Burris design incorporates
hash marks on the lower vertical crosshair that are
calibrated to provide dead-on aiming from 100 yards
to 600 yards (200 – 700 yards for the Varmint reticle)
for many of the most common hunting cartridges.
Examples of the actual bullet path for many of the
most popular cartridges are available for download
on our website at www.burrisoptics.com
For calculating wind drift, the Ballistic E1 FFP and
Ballistic E1 FFP Varmint reticles have a series of small
cascading dots, placed to the left and right of the
reticle. These dots represent the effect of a 10 mph
crosswind for most big game hunting cartridges. For
a 5 mph crosswind, simply hold into the wind half the
distance to the dot. If the crosswind is 20 mph, simply
hold into the wind twice the distance from the center
post to the dot. If you know the distance to your
target and the speed of the wind, you can quickly
determine the correct aiming point to compensate
for both bullet drop and drift.
Burris provides ballistic reference labels for the Veracity
reticles on our website www.burrisoptics.com
can print out these labels and attach them to your
rifle for quick reference. With access to a ballistics
program, you can easily develop your own charts for
custom handloads.
.
. You
By shooting at known distances (i.e. 100, 200, 300, 400,
500 and 600 yds.), you can determine the bullet drop
that corresponds to each ballistic line for your cartridge.
Practice Makes Perfect
The Ballistic Plex E1 reticle is much more accurate
than guessing holdover or hold off. It can also be
faster and more reassuring to most shooters than
using target-type adjustments. The nature of ballistics
is such that everything is theoretical and if any one
of the variables changes (altitude, temperature,
barometric pressure, humidity, bullet design, barrel
length, chamber fit, seating depth, etc.) so does the
ballistic performance. For maximum accuracy, practice at long ranges under similar conditions to those
which you will experience in the field.

Page 9
Technical Tip
For maximum accuracy at long ranges, instead of
sighting in at 100 yards using the center of the reticle,
sight in at a longer range such as 400 yards using the
400-yard ballistic line. This will decrease the amount of
long-range error that can occur under various environmental conditions, or when slightly under estimating
point-of-impact at shorter ranges.
Shoot Responsibly
Long-range shooting is extremely challenging and can
be very rewarding. But along with it comes tremendous
responsibility, especially when hunting. To ensure you
take ethical shots at longer ranges, it is essential to
know the yardage to an animal and your wind conditions.
For these reasons, we strongly encourage that you
practice to determine your own shooting capabilities
and do not shoot beyond them in the field.
