Installation and use of Millett Tactical TRS-1 and TRS-2 scopes

Mounting

Mounting your scope properly is important to the accuracy and durability of your
firearm and scope. Proper mounting assures tha t the scope is aligned to the barrel and
the scope is rigged to the rifle for accuracy. We recommend using the Millett Picatinny
rail and Millett Angle-Loc ™ rings.

Using the base and ring combination that you have chosen, make sure mounting
screws for the base are firmly tightened. On most bolt action rifles, 50 to 60 inch
pounds is suitable for the torque. Loctite

®

Is recommended to prevent the screws

loosening under recoil.
Place the bottoms of the rings onto the base and center and tighten. Make sure ring

bottom is aligned in base and not cocked or out of line with the bore.

Failure to align the base and bottom of the rings can damage the scope.

Lay the scope into the bottoms of the rings, with the eyepiece to the rear, and align the
crosshairs to the vertical and horizontal, moving the scope back and forth to get a full
sight picture. While looking through the scope, align the crosshairs and the eye relief.
The eye relief on this model scope should be about 75mm or 3 inches.

Place the top caps of the rings on the bottoms and slightly tighten the screws. Check
the alignment and eye relief before fully tightening the cap screws.

Boresighting

Boresighting is aligning the scope to the bore of the rifle to assist you in getting on
target when sighting in the rifle.

There are several ways to boresight a rifle, 1. Looking through the scope and the bore
of the rifle until they are both at the same point. 2. Using an optical device inserted into
the bore and aligning the scope to a point on the boresighter.3. Using a laser inserted
into the barrel at the muzzle or chamber to make a reference point and aligning the
scope crosshairs to that point. All of these systems work well, follow the instructions
supplied with each method.

Sighting in

Sighting in your rifle is critical to assure that point-of-aim and impact yards are the
same at a known range. The method we recommend is to start shooting at 25 y ards or
50 yards with a target large enough to allow some room for error.The goal of properly
sighting in the scope is to eliminate human error,so use a solid rest to support the rifle.
It’s best if at the time you sight in, the wind is calm.

Fire 3 shots, carefully holding the crosshairs at the same point on the target for each
shot. Measure the distance from the point you were aiming at and center of the 3 shot
group.This is how much you will need to move your scope to align the crosshairs. Let’s
say the group was 4 inches to the right and 5 inches high. Since the adjustments on
the TRS scopes are 1/8” or 3mm at 100, and 1/16” at 50 yards, you will need to move
the scope adjustments 64 clicks to the left and 80 down. One full turn of the turret is
72 clicks or 9 inches at 100 yards.

Note:The arrows on the turrets of the scope are for direction of movement of the bullet.
Move the target to 100m or yards and repeat the sighting in procedure to adjust the

turrets until the scope is aligned to the rifle. Fire a group after adjustment to assure the
proper sight-in.

It is best to fire the rifle at the ranges that the sight will be using to assure your zero and
drop for various ranges. Many shooters set the sights a number of inches high at 100
yards so they have a longer point-blank range. Example, a 308 sighted 2 inches high at
100 will be dead on at 200 yards, extending the point blank range to over 300 yards.

Once the scope is sighted in, you can zero the windage and elevation turrets by
loosening the 3 small set screws in the top of the caps and turning the cap until the
zero ( 0 ) lines up with the dot on the body of the scope and then retighten the screws.
Now it’s easy to count the clicks for elevation and windage.

Note: Small Allen wrench in box.
