1 Important: Always make sure your firearm, including the magazine, is empty of ammunition before doing any work on it. This includes mounting and adjusting your riflescope. USER GUIDE caliber specific scopes Note: Reticles are based upon ballistic information. There are many variables that could effect your reticle: Actual Velocity (Use a chronograph to determine the actual muzzle velocity for your firearm). Temperature Humidity Altitude Barometric Pressure Condition and inherent accuracy of the firearm The mounting system and how true it positions the scope to the centerline of the bore World s Foremost Outfitter World s Foremost Outfitter

2 Thank you for choosing Cabela s reticle riflescope. The reticle is designed to compensate for the trajectory of your ammunition.

3 42 3 Final Range Sight In Final sight in should be done at the range using the exact ammunition you expect to hunt or shoot with. A. Fire a shot or two to check that you re roughly on target. If necessary, adjust the reticle to put you near the center of the target. B. Next, fire a three-shot group as precisely as possible. Using the center of this group as a reference, make any necessary correction adjustments for windage and elevation. C. Fire a three-shot group to confirm your adjustment. Repeat until you achieve satisfactory results. It is imperative that the reticle be level in relation to your firearm. If the reticle is tilted, even a few degrees, it can cause the projectile to drift off the centerline of the point of aim. There are many commercial leveling devices on the market that align the reticle accordingly. All Cabela s reticles were originally designed to be used on the highest magnification. Since changing the magnification changes the position of the circles in relation to the target, the distances listed along with each of the illustrations are at the highest magnification. The center crosshair does not change with magnification as it is placed in the optical center of the scope. If you plan on making long-distance precision shots, especially on small targets, then you should check your sight zero each time you change your ammunition. The information contained in this instruction guide is based on ammunition manufacturers product specifications. If you use different ammunition than is listed in this guide, we recommend you use a ballistic calculator or go to your local range to see how the ammunition correlates.

5 AR-223 Reticle-1 for AR 1-4X and AR 1-6X MOA 12 MOA 2 MOA 4 MOA Your Cabela s riflescope is equipped with an adjustable eyepiece to get a clear and sharp reticle image. To focus the reticle, begin by allowing your eyes to focus on a distant object for several moments not looking through the scope. Then, hold the scope up and quickly look through it. It is important to look at the reticle and not the object you were looking at. Pay attention to the sharpness of the reticle, and adjust the focus ring until it is as sharp as possible. The reticle image should be crisp and sharp immediately when you look. Since your eyesight may change over time, periodically re-check this adjustment. Riflescopes are not intended for looking at the sun or any other intense light source. Such use could damage the retina and cornea of your eyes even to the point of causing blindness. 1.5MOA 3 MOA 40 5
