User Manual

Place a target at the desired distance from
the shooting point which will clearly show
the impact of the bullet from a known
point of aim. For this purpose a regular
bullseye paper target is most suited.
Shoot three or four shots at the target from
a prone or sitting position using a rest
under the forearm (not the barrel) and
supporting the elbows to maintain the rifle
in the steadiest manner possible. Unsteadiness
in holding the rifle on target will have a
considerably greater effect on the results
than either rifle or cartridge.
Shoot carefully and deliberately, trying as
much as possible to align the sights exactly
the same way each time. It is also
advisable to shoot a first shot through the
barrel before the sighting shots if the
barrel is clean and oiled, as the
combustion of the oil may change the
ballistics of the bullet slightly.
If sight correction is required, the rear sight
or the telescopic sight must be adjusted
accordingly. Some BAR's are fitted with
open sights consisting of a hooded front
sight and a fully adjustable rear sight as
well as being drilled and tapped to accept
scope mounts. Other BAR's are drilled and
tapped only to accept mounts for
