[. . . ] Grasp the Adjustment Bar and turn it in the appropriate "UP" (and/or "R") direction 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 corresponds to 1/4 inch at 100 yards, 1/2 inch at 200 yards, 3/4 inch at 300 yards and so on (1/12" at 50 feet for air rifles). Eyepiece Windage Adjustment Objective Adjustment Ring WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT ELEV ATION ADJUSTMENT EYEPIECE FOCUSING The eyepiece is designed to provide a precise fast focus. The eyepiece will focus faster than your eye can compensate for any inaccuracy in your adjustment. [. . . ] Do this by placing the scope in a solid V-block (cardboard box with two slots). While looking through the scope in a normal viewing position, carefully rotate the scope. If the target moves in a circle larger than 1" from center (at 25 yards) in relation to intersection of crosshairs, reset windage and elevation adjustments. Set each adjustment to midpoint and recheck for centering. If target still rotates, use adjustments to correct. VARIABLE POWER ADJUSTMENTS To change magnification, simply rotate the Power Selector Ring to align the desired number on the power scale with 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. ADJUST 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. 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. Carefully follow the instructions packed with the scope mounts you have selected. 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 ensure maximum eye relief) that allows you to see a full field of view. WARNING: IF THE SCOPE IS NOT MOUNTED FAR ENOUGH FORWARD, IT'S REARWARD MOTION MAY INJURE THE SHOOTER WHEN THE RIFLE RECOILS. Rotate the scope in the rings until the reticle pattern is perpendicular to the bore and the elevation adjustment is on top. Tighten the mounting screws. MAINTENANCE Your Bushnell riflescope, though amazingly tough, is a precision instrument that deserves reasonable cautious care. [. . . ] 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.
