• Be sure the mounting screws do not protrude into the receiver or the barrel.
• When using dovetail mounts, do not use the scope as a lever when installing the scope. The initial resistance to turning
may cause damage to the scope, and is not covered by the warranty. We recommend using a 1" wooden dowel or metal
cylinder to seat the rings.
• Be sure the position of the scope does not interfere with the operation of the action.
• Be sure there is at least 1/8" of clearance between the edges of the rings and any protruding surfaces such as the turret
housing(saddle),powerselectingring,andtheflareoftheobjectivebell.Alsobesurethereisatleast1/8"ofclearance

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 boresighter 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
using the turrets or windage adjustments. Return the bolt and prepare to shoot down range at the 100 yard target.
Your next step will be to zero the scope using live rounds. Fire your first shot and note the location of impact. You can use
the elevation and windage adjustments to change the point of impact accordingly. For example, if your first shot went 1 mil
highand1milleft,adjustyourelevationdialdown1milandyourwindagedial1milright.Alwaysadjustintheopposite
direction from your point of impact.
Asyoufireyoursecondshot,youshouldseethepointofimpacthitclosertoyourintendedtarget.Multipleroundsmay
need to be fired before achieving consistent results. You may also use the reticle within your scope to help decipher the
correct adjustments.
For example, suppose that you initially find that the actual point of impact is hitting 4 Mils down and 3 Mils left. You

the weapon to the original aiming point on the target. Ensure that it is securely held in place. While holding the weapon
steady, adjust the elevation knob until the horizontal cross hair intersects the bullet hole made by the first shot. Then adjust
the windage knob until the vertical cross hair intersects the original bullet hole. The riflescope should now be closely
aligned with the bore of the weapon. It is advisable to fire additional shots as some fine adjustments may be required to
insure that the firearm is perfectly zeroed.
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

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.
WINDAGE T-LOK™ TURRET
Your Bushnell Elite Tactical Riflescope features a T-Lok™ (locking) windage turret, which provide audible and visual
adjustment references. When the turret is lifted into the upward position it can be rotated in right or left directions to make
appropriate adjustments.
Each turn of the turret provides an audible "click" which coincides with a movement of the visible reference point on the
turretknob.Additionally,clickscanbefeltbyyourfingersastheturretknobmoves.Each"click"represents.1mil.After
adjustments are made, the turret can be pushed back into the downward position to prevent movement, or left elevated
and ready for further adjustments if preferred.
