1. 3 Next adjust the reticle to match the approximate center of the shot group see section on Windage and Elevation Adjustment As previously noted in the section on bore sighting the elevation turret cap turret should be removed and zero stop lock screws should be loosened 4 If the rifle is very solidly mounted and cannot be moved simply look through the scope and adjust the reticle until it is centered on the fired group 5 Carefully fire another three shot group and see if the bullet group is centered on the bullseye If necessary make another adjustment to the riflescope and fire another group to verify zero This procedure can be repeated as many times as necessary to achieve a perfect zero 16 After obtaining satisfactory zero set the RZR zero stop 1 Re tighten the three zero stop lock screws Do not over tighten thumb and forefinger on the short end of supplied hex wrench will be sufficient 2 Replace elevation turret cap being sure to align O mark on cap with the zero reference line on scope body Push the cap straight down and avoid turning while doing this 3 Be sure the cap is fully down and re tighten elevation cap retaining screws Do not overtighten using thumb and forefinger on short end of hex wrench will be sufficient Note To re zero for a different load repeat complete bore sighting and range sight in procedures It is important to always begin any sight in adjustments by turni2. These angular measurements are used for ranging and correcting for the bullet s trajectory drop in riflescopes Each click will move the point of impact 1 4 MOA 1 4 MOA closely corresponds to 26 inches at 100 yards 52 inches at 200 yards 78 inches at 300 yards etc Example At a 100 yard sight in distance it will take four clicks of the knob to move a bullet s point of impact 1 05 inches MRAD Adjustments The milliradian mrad for short is a form of angular measurement similar in concept to a degree although much finer A degree is 1 360 of a circle a milliradian is 1 6283 of a circle Each click will move the point of impact 1 10 mrad 1 10 mrad equals 36 inches at 100 yards 1 cm at 100 meters 72 inches at 200 yards 2 cm at 200 meters 1 08 inches at 300 yards 3 cm at 300 meters etc Example At a 100 yard sight in distance four clicks will move the bullet s point of impact 1 44 inches At 100 meters four clicks will move the point of impact four centimeters Reticle Focusing Vortex Razor riflescopes use a fast focus eyepiece designed to quickly and easily adjust the focus on the riflescope s reticle Try to make this particular adjustment quickly as the eye will try to compensate for an out of focus reticle Adjust the reticle focus To adjust the reticle focus 1 Look through the riflescope at a blank white wall or up at the sky 2 Turn the eyepiece focus knob in or out until
3. the reticle image is as crisp as possible Note Once this adjustment is complete it will not be necessary to re focus every time you use the riflescope However because your eyesight may change over time you should re check this adjustment periodically Parallax Adjustment The Razor HD 5 20x50 riflescope uses a side focus parallax adjustment which when properly set eliminates parallax errors Properly setting a side focus parallax adjustment is a quick procedure When properly set the target image should be sharp and crisp To set the parallax 1 First be sure the reticle is correctly focused see Reticle Focusing 2 As accurately as possible match the yardage number distance you are shooting on side focus parallax adjustment knob to the indicator arrow on the scope body 3 Check the setting for accuracy by moving your head back and forth while looking through the scope The setting is correct if there is no apparent movement between the reticle and target If there is apparent movement adjust the focus knob slightly until the Adjust the side parallax knob movement is eliminated Parallax is a phenomenon that results when the target image does not quite fall on the same optical plane as the reticle within the scope When the shooter s eye is not precisely centered in the eyepiece there can be apparent movement of the target in relation to the reticle which can cause a small shift in the po
