FOCUSING
No focusing or diopter adjustment is necessary on models with no magnification
("1x"). e clarity and resolution will be as sharp and defined as can be seen
with your eyes. Models with magnification ("3.5x") provide a diopter adjustment
ring, located around the outside of the eyepiece to compensate for differences
in individual eyesight. Looking through the scope, first 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 find 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 firearm. 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 firearm 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 firearm. 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/off 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 fine tuning to achieve zero at the
called for distance.
ZEROING
Final zeroing of your firearm 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.

ELEVATION & WINDAGE
Elevation or windage adjustments are made by removing the cover caps from
the adjustment knobs. Using a screwdriver or coin, make adjustments in the
appropriate “UP” and/or “R” direction indicated by the arrows. Each “click” or
stop in the adjustment will change the bullet impact by 1/4 Minute Of Angle
(MOA) which translates to 1/8 inch at 50 yds., 1/4 inch at 100 yds., and 1/2
inches at 200 yds. Reinstall the cover caps over the adjustments to protect your
zero and to exclude dirt from the mechanism.

BATTERY
Your Illuminated Red Dot Scope is powered by a long life 3V lithium battery,
type 2032. If you ever have to change your battery, grasp the battery cover (top
cap of the intensity control) and turn counter clockwise until the battery is
exposed-you may use a coin in the cover's slot if necessary. With a small screw
driver or similar object, gently pry the battery free. Install the replacement
battery by firmly pushing it into the battery cavity. e positive (+) side must
face towards you. Replace the battery cover and tighten.

SCOPE COVERS
e lenses are coated to allow maximum light transmission. With proper care,
your scope should last you a lifetime. When cleaning the lenses reasonable
precautions are necessary. Dry dirt and dust can be removed by an air blast or
with a soſt brush. Fingerprints and lubricants can be wiped off with an eyeglass
tissue or a cotton swab and a mild soap solution. Use the lens covers supplied
with your scope whenever it is convenient.
FIELD TIPS
1. Lens caps provide good protection in foul weather. Since the lens elements
are recessed to protect them and minimize any obstruction of the optics by
adverse conditions – i.e. snow, rain spots, or dust, the firearm can be carried in
the horizontal position, at the ready.
2. Storing your firearm and scope overnight in the outdoors will help to avoid
condensation and fogging on the outside of the optics when a temperature
change occurs. If it is very cold, however, the battery should be removed and
kept warm as cold temperatures reduce the battery life.
