Manual

To use the Long Range Varmint reticle, zero your rifle at either
200 yards (183 meters) [Group A cartridges from the Long Range
Varmint table] or 300 yards (274 meters) [Group C cartridges from
the Long Range Varmint table]. This will zero the dots below the
horizontal crosswire at either 300, 400 and 500 yards (274, 366,
and 457 meters) in the case of Group A cartridges, or 400, 500
and 600 yards (366, 457, and 549 meters) in the case of Group C
cartridges. Similarly, as in the case of the Long Range Duplex, the
scope must be set to it’s highest magnification level in order to
properly use the ballistics compensating features.
