EYEPIECE FOCUSING

This adjusts the focus so that the reticle (cross hairs) appears sharp to your eyes. All Bushnell riflescopes are focused at the factory for 20/20
or corrected vision. If the reticle appears sharp, no adjustment is needed. If the reticle appears unsharp, adjust as follows.

FAST FOCUS EYEPIECE DESIGN

The eyepiece is designed to provide a precise fast focus. Simply look at a distant object for several seconds without using your scope. Then,
shift your vision quickly, looking though the scope at a plain background. Turn the fast-focus eyepiece clockwise or counter clockwise until
the reticle pattern is sharp and clear.

WARNING: Never look at the sun through the riflescope (or any other optical instrument). It may permanently damage your eye.

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:

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 rifles 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.

BORE SIGHTING

Bore sighting is a preliminary procedure to achieve proper alignment of the scope with the rifle bore. It is best done using a Bushnell Bore
Sighter. If a bore sighter is not available, it can be done as follows: Remove the bolt and sight through the gun barrel at a 100 yard target.
Then sight through the scope and bring the crosshairs to the same point on the target. 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.

ZEROING

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.

ELEVATION AND WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT

Your Bushnell® AR Optics scope features finger-adjustable, audible-click elevation and windage adjustments.

Grasp the top of the target turret and turn it in the appropriate direction (elevation turret has marked “Up” direction, windage turret has
marked “R” for right direction). Each “click” or increment on the Adjustment Scale Ring will change the bullet impact 1/4”, 1/2”, or .1 Mil,
depending on the model. The adjustment value for your scope is clearly marked on its target turrets.
