Be sure the mounting base is fastened securely to the rifle. Loose mounting may cause the day optic sight and base mount assembly to come off
the rifle when firing, possibly injuring the shooter.

Before

mounting

the

lubricate

the

of

each

mounting

nut.

b.

Insure smooth movement of each mounting nut and mount claw.

c.

Inspect for burrs and foreign matter between each mounting ring nut and mount claw.
Burrs or foreign matter must be removed prior to mounting.

d.

Mount the day optic sight and rings to the base (see Figures 2-7 and 2-8).

Je

a.

NOTE

is

There are two (2) sets of mounting slots. Select the set of slots which
provide the proper eye relief,

Once a set of slots is chosen, the same set

for optimum performance on the target selected, (one click on the elevation dial represents 1 minute of angle, one click on the windage dial represents 1/2 minute of angle). When the day optic
sight is precisely zeroed with the weapon on this target, loosen the set screws holding the dials,
