Make sure all your mounts are tight and use some medium strength Loktite-Blue or green in color, use on all screws EXCEPT the top halfs of the rings. Those screws leave as normal. Then bore sight it, or do it your self by taking out the breech plug and look thru the bore to a
25-30 yard target.
Before you Bore sight the scope:
GENTLY turn the Up/Down adjustment all the way Down till it just stops--
Do Not Force it past a gentle stop. Then move it all the way Up and count the full rotations..lets say it went around 10 times. Then back it off about 5 full turns. This will set the calibration to the Mid Range of the adustment.
Now do the same with the Left/Right adjustment dial. The object is to start your bore sighting with both adjusters set to the
Middle of thier ranges.
Now get this-While bench resting the rifle, look thru the bore and put the target dead center of the bore, then slowly lift your eye up to the scope while keeping the rifle still. Take a look and see where the target appears in the cross hairs(Reticle).
NOW heres the trick: move the scope reticle(cross hairs) adjustments opposite of how you would normally sight in the rifle,
Example--if the reticle is to the
right of the target, move the left/right dial to the
RIGHT. If it is
left of the target, move it to the
LEFT. If it is
high, move it
UP. If it is
low, move it
DOWN.
I know it sound backwards, but just trust me.
Remember that to move the reticle(Point of impact) 1 inch at 25 yards that will equal about 16 clicks.
And don't forget to put the Breech Plug back in before shooting
