To mount the Bushnell BDC Dial Chart Scope, ensure that the rifle is stable and secure. Use compatible rings or mounts, align the scope with the rifle's barrel, and tighten the mounts evenly to avoid misalignment. Make sure to adjust eye relief for comfort.
To zero the scope, set it on a stable platform, select a target at your preferred zeroing distance, and fire a group of shots. Adjust the windage and elevation turrets to align the point of impact with the point of aim. Repeat until satisfied.
Utilize the BDC feature by understanding your ammunition's ballistics. Refer to the BDC dial chart for corresponding adjustments based on the distance to the target. Practice at various ranges to familiarize yourself with the adjustments needed.
If the reticle is blurry, adjust the focus ring or eyepiece until the reticle appears sharp and clear. Make sure the ocular lens is clean and free from obstructions.
Clean the scope using a soft, lint-free cloth. For lenses, use a lens brush or compressed air to remove debris, followed by a lens cleaning solution. Store the scope in a dry place and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
Ensure that the scope mounts are securely tightened. Check for any movement between the mount and the rifle. Verify that the turrets are functioning correctly and that there is no damage to the scope.
Yes, the scope can be used in low-light conditions. For optimal performance, ensure the scope has appropriate lens coatings for light transmission and consider using an illuminated reticle if available.
Adjust the parallax by turning the parallax adjustment knob or side focus until the target image is sharp and free of movement relative to the reticle. This is typically done at longer ranges.
If the scope fogs internally, it may indicate a seal failure. Contact Bushnell customer service for repair or replacement, as internal fogging should not occur in a properly sealed and purged scope.
Consult the BDC dial chart included with the scope to match your ammunition's specific ballistic profile. Adjust the BDC dial accordingly, and confirm accuracy by test-firing at various distances.
