BORE SIGHTING
Bore sighting is a preliminary procedure to achieve proper alignment of the
scope with the rie’s bore. Initial bore sighting of the red dot will decrease
the amount of time and ammunition you need to use at the range.
This can be done by using a mechanical or laser bore sighter according
to the manufacturer’s instructions or by removing the bolt and sighting
through the barrel on some ries.
TO BORE SIGHT YOUR RED DOT:
1. Place the rie solidly on a rest and remove the bolt or bolt
carrier group.
2. Sight through the bore at a target approximately 50 yards
away.
3. Move the rie and the rest until the target is visually centered
inside the barrel.
4. With the target centered in the bore, make windage and
elevation adjustments until the dot is also centered over the
target.
Note - If a laser bore sighting or any other similar device inside the bore
was used, it must be removed before ring. An obstructed bore can cause
serious damage to the gun and possible injury to the shooter.
ZEROING THE RED DOT
IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECKS:
• Always check your weapon and surroundings for safety.
• Follow all weapon manufacturer safety guidelines.
• Always shoot from a solid rest using consistent and proper form.
• Be sure that your target is level to aid in accurate sight-in process.
TO ZERO THE RED DOT:
1. Start the sight-in process from 25 yards. From a solid rest
re one 3-shot group, ensuring that you re at same spot
each time.
2. After the rst 3-shot group, make adjustments to bring bullet
impact to the center of target you’re shooting at. Repeat this
process at 100 yards and you will have an accurate 100 yard
zero.
