9. Mounting of Scope
The Blaser 97 models have been prepared
for installation of the Original Blaser saddle
mount (DBP). We assume that your scope
has been mounted correctly on the appro-
priate barrel by your specialized dealer.
9.1.
Installing scope
• Open lid of rear and front mount lever
and ensure that both are swivelled all
the way to the front / up.
• Hold rifle at the forearm with your left
hand, support buttstock on your thigh.
• Hold scope with your right hand at the
centre tube, above the mount, so that
you can reach the front lever with your
thumb.
• Insert the two round studs at the scope
mount carefully into the two oval holes
sunk into the upper right side of the barrel,
tilt scope to the left onto the barrel and
hold it in this position.
• Press the (opened) mount levers, first
the one in front and then the one in the
back, backwards/downwards with your
thumb, until they reach their stop position
(tension!). If this is too easy or requires
a lot of force, the mount is maladjusted.
Have your dealer correct this according
to works instructions.
• Now close the two lids of the mount
levers.
Please ensure that the engaging surfaces
are clean and free from grease.
8. Open sights
Considering differing sighting habits and
requirements, the rifle is zeroed-in over
open sights at the factory with approximate
precision only. Precise zeroing-in by adju-
sting front sight and rear sight should be
performed by yourself, together with your
specialised dealer, in order to adjust the
sights precisely to your personal require-
ments.
