FOCUSING
No focusing or diopter adjustment is necessary on models with no magnication
("1x"). e clarity and resolution will be as sharp and dened as can be seen
with your eyes. Models with magnication ("3.5x") provide a diopter adjustment
ring, located around the outside of the eyepiece to compensate for dierences
in individual eyesight. Looking through the scope, rst turn the reticle intensity
control up until the reticle is easily visible, but not too bright. en rotate the
diopter ring until the reticle appears sharp to your eye. You may nd it helpful
to have the scope pointed at a simple, uncluttered background (for example, a
white wall) as you adjust the diopter, so the reticle can be seen more clearly.
MOUNTING
If your scope is mounted improperly, you may never achieve the best accuracy
from your rearm. You may choose to mount your own scope or opt to have a
gunsmith do it for you.
Your scope should be mounted as low on the rearm as possible. is will keep
your face or cheek close to the line of sight and will also keep the scope close to
the center line of the bore – both factors will help you attain optimum accuracy.
When properly mounted, the scope will be as near center as possible, allowing
for a full range of elevation and windage adjustments.
e Bushnell Illuminated MP Scopes feature an integrated mount, ready to
accomodate standard Weaver or Picatinny type mounting rails.
BORE SIGHTING
Bore sighting is a good preliminary procedure in achieving proper alignment of
your scope to the rearm. It is best performed with a Bushnell Bore Sighter. If
not available, it can be done adequately in the following manner: Sight through
the gun barrel at a 100 yard target. en sight through your scope and bring the
reticle to the same point on the target. e reticle is illuminated by turning on the
on/o switch. Rotate the knob until you have achieved the desired brightness.
Major elevation adjustment should not be needed but, if necessary, it should
be accomplished by shimming the mount base. It is important not to use the
elevation adjustment of the scope for major adjustments. Your scope’s internal
elevation adjustment should be reserved for ne tuning to achieve zero at the
called for distance.
ZEROING
Final zeroing of your rearm and scope should be done with live ammunition
and based on your expected shooting distance. If you anticipate most of your
shooting at short range, zero-in at 50 yards. Groups of three shots will be useful
for averaging the point of impact.
