Z E R O I N G
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
y a rds. But, for long-range shooting at big game, most experienced shooters zero - i n
about three inches high at 100 yards. Three-shot groups are useful for averaging the
point of impact.
E L E V ATION AND WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT
Most Bushnell
®
scopes feature finger-adjustable audible-click elevation and
windage adjustments.
1 . Remove the covers from the Elevation and Windage Adjustments.
2 . Grasp the Adjustment Bar and turn it in the appropriate “UP” (and/or “R”)
d i rection indicated by the arrows. Each “click” or increment on the Adjustment
Scale Ring will change bullet impact by 1/4" Minute of Angle . 1/4" MOA
c o r responds to 1/4 inch at 100 yards, 1/2 inch at 200 yards, 3/4 inch at 300 yard s
and so on (1/12" at 50 feet for air rifles).

RESETTING THE ADJUSTMENT SCALE RING
This step is not necessary, but, for future re f e rence, you may want to realign the zero
marks on the Adjustment Scale Rings with the index dots.
1 . Using a jeweler’s scre w d r i v e r, loosen the Phillips screw on the Adjustment Scale
about 1/2 turn. Take care not to disturb your zero by “losing” a click or two when
loosening the scre w s .
2 . Rotate the Adjustment Scale Ring (which should now turn freely) to align the “O”
with the Index Dot.
3 . Retighten the screw in the Adjustment Scale and reinstall the Elevation and
Windage Adjustment Knobs.
VARIABLE POWER ADJUSTMENTS
To change magnification, simply rotate the Power Selector Ring to align the desire d
number on the power scale with index dot.
When still-hunting or stalking game, a variable scope should be set to the lowest
p o w e r. You then have the widest field of view for quick shots at close range. Higher
powers should be reserved for precise long-range shots.
WA R N I N G : A SCOPE SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR EITHER A
BINOCULAR OR SPOTTING SCOPE. IT MAY RESULT IN YOUR INADVERT E N T LY
POINTING THE GUN AT ANOTHER PERSON.
A D J U S T ABLE OBJECTIVE LENS
This feature (if present on your scope) permits precise focusing, while simultaneously
readjusting the parallax-free distance, for any range from 50 yards to infinity. To
change range focus, turn the Objective Adjustment Ring and align the number with
the distance index dot. An alternative method is to look through the scope and turn
the Objective Adjustment Ring until the target, at whatever range, is sharply focused.
M A I N T E N A N C E
Your Bushnell riflescope, though amazingly tough, is a precision instrument that
deserves reasonable cautious care .
1 . When cleaning the lenses, first blow away any dirt and dust, or use a soft lens
brush. Fingerprints and lubricants can be wiped off with lens tissue, or a soft
clean cotton cloth, moistened with lens cleaning fluid.
WARNING: U N N E C E S S A RY RUBBING OR USE OF A COARSE CLOTH MAY
CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO LENS COAT I N G S .
2 . All moving parts of the scope are permanently lubricated. Do not try to
lubricate them.
3 . No maintenance is needed on the scope’s outer surface, except to occasionally
wipe off dirt or fingerprints with a soft cloth.
4. Use lens covers whenever convenient.
S T O R A G E
Avoid storing the scope in hot places, such as the passenger compartments of
vehicles on hot days. The high temperatures could adversely affect the lubricants and
sealants. A vehicle’s trunk, a gun cabinet or a closet is preferable. Never leave the
scope where direct sunlight can enter either the objective or the eyepiece lens.
Damage may result from the concentration (burning glass effect) of the sun’s rays.
