Final Range Sight-In
After the riflescope has been bore sighted, final
sight-in should be done at the range using the
exact ammunition you expect to use while hunting
or shooting competitively. Sight-in and zero the
riflescope at the preferred distance. 50 or 200 yards
are the most common zero distances for this optic.
1. Following all safe shooting practices, fire a three-
shot group as precisely as possible to determine
an average point of impact to correct from. This
will also help you establish the weapon system’s
accuracy potential.
2. Adjust the turrets to correct for any offset in
your point of impact. Be sure to read pages 8-9
prior to adjusting.
3. Fire another three-shot group to establish another
average point of impact. This procedure may be
repeated as many times as necessary until your
point of impact and your point of aim are in the
same place, and you have achieved a perfect zero.
Note: Vortex

does not recommend the use of a weighted
gun vise, as it can put extreme stress on the gun, stock,
scope, and mounts. It is best practice to use a combination
of sandbags or a bipod and sandbags. Letting your weapon
recoil naturally also provides consistency from shot to shot.
Reindexing the Elevation and Windage Turrets
After the rifle and scope have
been zeroed in, the elevation
and windage dials should be
reindexed to their zero indicators.
This will allow you to accurately
keep track of elevation or windage
corrections dialed on the turrets in
the field, and quickly return to an
original zero-point setting.
2mm Hex Screws
To Reindex the Turrets
1. While holding the elevation/windage turret cap
firmly between thumb and forefinger to prevent any
rotation, use the 2mm hex wrench to loosen and
remove the central screw on top of dial.
2. Gently pull the turret dial straight up and off of the
turret post, being careful not to rotate the post.
3. Reinstall the turret dial, lining up the “0” mark
with indexing mark on the scope body and replace
the central screw on top of dial.
4. Replace the turret cap.
