BORESIGHTING
To save time and ammunition, the use of a boresighting collimator to “get
on the paper” is recommended. Remember that adjustments made during
boresighting will appear to move in the opposite direction than that
indicated by the adjustment dial. As the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3x14mm
scope is sometimes mounted atop a carry handle, boresighting using a
collimator is not always possible. In these cases, it is best to use the tradition-
al method (“Traditional Boresighting,” on the next page) of sighting down
the barrel to the target.
Using a boresighter:
1. Attach the boresighter to the barrel.
2. Look through the scope to assess the position of the scope’s reticle
relative to the boresighting grid. The center of the scope reticle is some-
times some distance away from the center of the boresighting grid.
3. Begin with the windage adjustment. Turn the windage adjustment dial
until the center of the scope’s reticle is in horizontal alignment with the
center point of the boresighting grid. Note that when using a boresighter
the windage needs to be turned in the “R” (right) direction to make
