FAST FoCuS EyEPiECE The fast-focus eyepiece dial is found on the ocular end of the Bushnell Elite Tactical Riflescope. Use this adjustment to obtain a reticle image that appears sharp to your eyes. If adjustment is needed, look at a distant object for several seconds without using your scope. - Page 5 BoRE SighTing And ZERoing ThE SCoPE 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 sight is not available, it can be done as follows: Remove the bolt and sight through the gun barrel at a 100 yard target.

One Mil is measured from the middle of one dot to the middle of the next dot. 1 Mil The last Mil on the outer edges portion of the horizontal and vertical crosshair is measured from the center of the fourth Mil Dot from center to the edge of the thick line.

- Page 13 BuShnELL g2dMR RETiCLE ™ The G2DMR reticle, developed in conjunction with G.A. Precision, provides a clean reticle space while giving you the ability to range targets with extreme accuracy using .1 Mil reference points. The extended horizontal mil markings on the lower portion of the vertical crosshair can be used for both ranging and windage holds.
- Page 14 ThE hoRiZonTAL CRoSShAiR On the horizontal crosshair, numerically designated Mil markings extend from the center of the crosshairs outward to the right in 2 Mil increments. To keep the reticle plane clean, the numbers were removed on the left side of the reticle but the reference points coincide with the markings from the right side of the crosshair.
- Page 15 Extending past the 8 Mil mark, the numerals stop. 1 Mil increments are then designated by the longer hash marks which measure 1.5 Mil in height from top to bottom. Ten .1 Mil markings are visible between each 1 Mil marking, continuing out to 13 Mils from center. The height from top to bottom of the .1 Mil markings is 1 Mil.
- Page 16 ThE vERTiCAL CRoSShAiR Similar to the horizontal crosshair, the vertical crosshair places the numerically designated Mil markings on only one side. Once again, the numerically designated markings are found in 2 Mil increments with hash marks every .5 Mil. Note the vertical cross hair extends to provide numerically designated markings up to 10 Mils from center.
- Page 17 hoRuS viSion h59 RETiCLE The H59 reticle is a “field-tuned” version of the H58 reticle from Horus Vision. The horizontal grid is widened by one mil for increased wind holdover. Additionally, the center cross has been turned into a “broken cross” so groupings are less obscured and more easily seen.
- Page 18 This process works well for many cartridges and weapon systems,but not all will impact exactly the same. However this system should place you close enough to make a solid hit, all else being equal. If shooting with a different caliber or muzzle velocity, you may need to add to or subtract from the original elevation hold to adapt the formula for your needs.
- Page 19 hoRuS viSion TRMR2 RETiCLE The TRMR2 is a refined-mil reticle. Precision mil-marking clusters interspersed throughout the reticle enable fast accurate measurements at .1, .2, .5 and 1 mil increments. With the 12” ranging brackets located on the lower portion of the vertical stadia, there is no need to make an additional adjustment once the correct bracket is found.
- Page 20 This process works well for many cartridges and weapon systems, but not all will impact exactly the same. However, this system should place you close enough to make a solid hit, all else being equal. If shooting with a different caliber or muzzle velocity (BC’s), you may need to add to or subtract from the original elevation hold to adapt the formula for your needs.
- Page 21 CALCuLATing hoLdS FoR Moving TARgETS The TRMR2 reticle has 14 wind dots left to right. 7 wind dots to the left and 7 wind dots to the right of center. Each dot accounts for 3,4, or 5 mph of wind depending on the Ballistic Coefficient you are using. Ballistic Coefficient Wind Dot Value 5 mph...

The same series is found on the upper portion of the vertical RETiCLE FRoM 10Th MiL To 38Th MiL stadia. Please note; starting at the 3.5 Mil marking the reticle offers .1 Mil markings for precise ranging. At the 4 Mil mark the previous series of .2,.5,.8,1 Mil returns.
