RIFLESCOPE

tRoubleshooting
Many times, problems thought to be with the scope are actually mount 
problems. Be sure that correct base and rings are being used in the correct 
orientation, and that the base screws and rings are tight. Insufficient windage 
or elevation adjustment range may indicate problems with rings, base, base 
alignment, base mount holes drilled in the rifle’s receiver, or barrel/receiver 
alignment.
Check for Correct Base and Ring Alignment
• Roughly center the reticle by adjusting both windage and elevation 
turrets to the mid point of their travel ranges.
• Attach bore sighter, or remove bolt and visually boresight rifle. 
• Look through the scope. If the reticle appears way off center on the 
boresighter image or when compared to the visually centered target when 
looking through rifle’s bore, there may be a problem with the bases or rings 
being used. Confirm that correct base and rings are being used—and in the 
proper orientation.
Tips for Solving Bullet Grouping Problems
• Maintain a good shooting technique and use a solid rest. 
• Check that all screws on rifle’s action are properly tightened.
• Be sure rifle barrel and action are clean and free of excessive oil or 
 copper fouling. 
• Check that rings are correctly torqued per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Some rifles and ammunition don’t work well together—try 
  different ammunition and see if accuracy improves.
