EYEPIECE FOCUSING This adjusts the focus so that the reticle (cross hairs) appears sharp to your eyes. All Bushnell riflescopes are focused at the factory for 20/20 or corrected vision. If the reticle appears sharp, no adjustment is needed. If the reticle appears unsharp, adjust as follows: The eyepiece is designed to provide a precise fast focus. Simply look at a distant object for several seconds without using your scope. Then, shift your vision quickly, looking though the scope at a plain background. Turn the fast-focus eyepiece clockwise or counter clockwise until the reticle pattern is sharp and clear. WARNING: Never look at the sun through the riflescope (or any other optical instrument). It may permanently damage your eye. MOUNTING To achieve the best accuracy from your rifle, your Bushnell scope must be mounted properly. (We strongly recommend that those unfamiliar with proper procedures have the scope mounted by a qualified gunsmith). Should you decide to mount it yourself: 1. Use a high-quality mount with bases designed to fit your particular rifle. The scope should be mounted as low as possible without touching either the barrel or the receiver. 2. Carefully follow the instructions packed with the scope mounts you have selected. 3. Before tightening the mount rings, look through the scope in your normal shooting position. Adjust the scope (either forward or backward) until you find the furthest point forward (to insure maximum eye relief) that allows you to see a full field of view. WARNING: If the scope is not mounted far enough forward, its rearward motion may injure the shooter when the rifles recoils. 4. Rotate the scope in the rings until the reticle pattern is perpendicular to the bore and the elevation adjustment is on top. 5. Tighten the mounting screws as tight as possible. VARIABLE POWER ADJUSTMENTS To change magnification, simply rotate the Power Selector Ring to align the desired number on the power scale with the Index Dot. When still-hunting or stalking game, a variable scope should be set to the lowest power. You then have the widest field of view for quick shots at close range. Higher powers should be reserved for precise long-range shots. WARNING: A scope should never be used as a substitute for either a binocular or spotting scope. It may result in your inadvertently pointing the gun at another person. 5

The eyepiece is designed to provide a precise fast focus. Simply
look at a distant object for several seconds without using your

WARNING:
Never look at the sun through the riflescope (or any other optical
instrument). It may permanently damage your eye.
MOUNTING
To achieve the best accuracy from your rifle, your Bushnell scope must be mounted properly.
(We strongly recommend that those unfamiliar with proper procedures have the scope mounted by a
qualified gunsmith). Should you decide to mount it yourself:
1. Use a high-quality mount with bases designed to fit your particular rifle. The scope should be mounted as
low as possible without touching either the barrel or the receiver.
2. Carefully follow the instructions packed with the scope mounts you have selected.
3. Before tightening the mount rings, look through the scope in your normal shooting position. Adjust the
scope (either forward or backward) until you find the furthest point forward
(to insure maximum eye relief) that allows you to see a full field of view.
WARNING:
If the scope is not mounted far enough forward, its rearward motion may injure the shooter
when the rifles recoils.
4. Rotate the scope in the rings until the reticle pattern is perpendicular to the bore and the elevation
adjustment is on top.
5. Tighten the mounting screws as tight as possible.
