Tip: Reticle Illumination


Before firing any rounds, we recommend bore sighting your rifle. Bore sighting refers to the
process of aligning the bore of your rifle with your target, commonly done with a laser bore The S1420-R-RG is equipped with an illuminated reticle that lights in both red and green in

significant amount of time and ammo, however, bore sighting alone is not enough to properly
sight in your rifle. Once bore sighted, you are ready to sight in your scope. The illuminated reticle is powered by a single CR1632 3V battery, located within the reticle
illumination dial. To change the battery, use a coin to unscrew the cap of the battery hatch and
To sight in your scope: position the battery negative side down.

1. Position your target 100 yards away (or at whatever distance you wish to sight your Rangefinder Reticle
scope at).

target.

3. For variable magnification scopes, set your scope to the maximum magnification.

4. Fire one round at the center of the target, taking care not to change the position of the rifle.

5. Using a spotting scope or binoculars, identify the bullet hole on the target.

6. Using the windage and elevation adjustment dials on your scope, adjust the position of the
crosshairs to align with the bullet hole. The elevation dial is located on top of the scope, while
the windage dial is located on the right of the scope. Each click of the adjustment dial will
move the position of the crosshairs by ½ MOA or roughly ½ inch at 100 yards.

7. Once the crosshairs are aligned with the bullet hole, aim again at the center of the target
and repeat the process until you are consistently hitting the center of the target.

Rangefinder Reticle Hash Marks

The horizontal hash marks below the center crosshairs are designed to approximate the bullet
drop of a typical high velocity round (2800 feet/second muzzle velocity) at 200, 300, 400 and
500 yards. Please note that these marks are designed to be used as reference points. Bullet
drop will vary from rifle to rifle depending on the ballistics of the round being used and the
shooting conditions.
