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.
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.

Removing scope
• Hold the rifle with your left hand at the
forearm and support it on your thigh.
• Open both lids of the mount levers.
• First swivel the rear lever with your thumb
all the way to the front/up - until it reaches
the stop.
• Grip scope with your right hand
at the centre tube and hold it.
• Now swivel the mount lever in front with
your thumb all the way to the front/up -
until it reaches the stop.
• Tilt scope to the right and remove it.
CAUTION:
If the distance between eye and scope is too
short and if the rifle is not seated correctly
at your shoulder, injuries are not to be
excluded when shooting with large calibres.

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 adjusting
foresight and rear sight should be performed
by yourself, together with your specialised
dealer, in order to adjust the sights precisely
to your personal requirements.
Foresight with elevation
adjustment
Insert Allen key SW 0.9 into the bore in the
foresight from above, and turn Allen screw
as needed. The foresight works with spring
support.
When shooting deep:
Turn Allen screw to the right.
When shooting high:
Turn Allen screw to the left.

Rear sight (sight)
with lateral adjustment
The rear sight is held in place by
a locking screw.
When shooting to the left:
loosen locking screw, slide sight to
the right side and tighten locking screw.
When shooting to the right:
loosen locking screw, slide sight to
the left side and tighten locking screw.
