BORE SIGHTING METHOD
1. Place a target at 25 to 50 yards.
2. Remove the bolt from the rifle.
3. Place the rifle on sandbags or a shooting rest.
4. Set the scope to its lowest magnification.
5. Peer through the bore from the receiver and adjust the position
of the rifle to center the target bull's eye in the bore (Fig. A).
6. Without moving the rifle, look into the scope and note the
position of the reticle on the target. On models with capped
elevations and windage adjustments, remove the caps. Adjust
the windage and elevation adjustments to center the reticle on
the bull's eye (Fig. B).
FINAL SIGHTING-IN
WARNING: SINCE THIS PROCEDURE INVOLVES LIVE FIRE, IT SHOULD BE DONE AT AN APPROVED RANGE
OR OTHER SAFE AREA. CHECK BORE FOR OBSTRUCTIONS. AN OBSTRUCTED BORE MAY CAUSE INJURY
TO YOU AND OTHERS NEARBY. EYE AND EAR PROTECTION IS RECOMMENDED.
1. From a steady rest position, fire two or three rounds at a 100-yard target. Note the impact of the bullet on the target
and adjust the windage and elevation dials as needed.
2. To move the bullet impact, turn the windage and/or elevation adjustments in the direction on the dials that corresponds
to where the impact point falls on the target (for example, if test shots are hitting low, adjust elevation "down"). The
adjustments on your riflescope model are marked in MOA (minutes of arc), and the point of impact at 100 yards will
change by 1/4 MOA for each click of the windage or elevation adjustment. One full revolution of the adjustment=12
MOA.
3. When the impact on the 100-yard target is satisfactory, switch to a target set at the desired distance for final zeroing.
Set the magnification to the desired power on variable power models.
THE CF500 RETICLE
Designed to be used with today's most popular centerfire rifle cartridges, the CF 500 reticle is intended to be sighted in
at 100 yards, and provides aiming points at every 100 yd increment, out to 500 yds. The user can sight-in at 100 yds on
any magnification setting, but for the ballistic reticle feature to function properly, the scope's magnification must be set
to the maximum power (9x, 12x or 18x depending on the model). The correct settings for the scopes that include the CF
500 reticle are as follows:
How To Use the CF500 Reticle:
1. Sight in at 100 yds on any magnification setting
2. Determine distance to target. For the best accuracy in
determining distance, utilize a Bushnell Laser Rangefinder
(Prime, Legend, Nitro).
3. Set the magnification to the appropriate setting.
4. Place appropriate aiming point on the desired target. If
the target is determined to be at 350 yds, hold directly
between the 300 yd aiming point and the 400 yd aiming
point.
The CF 500 reticle will work with any of the following
ammunition loads:
.223 Win 55 gr
.243 Win, 95 gr.
. 25-06 Rem 115 gr
.270 Win, 130 gr.
. 270 WSM, 150 gr.
.7mm Rem Mag, 150 gr.
.7mm WSM, 150 gr.
.30-06 Sprg, 150 gr.
.300 Winchester Mag, 180 gr.
.300 WSM, 180 gr.
.338 Win, 200 gr.

Based on a 100-yard zero and the ballistics of the most
common magnum loads, and with MOA dots as the long-
range aiming points, the CF 500 offers a higher level of
precision than competing extended-yardage reticles.
