User Guide
It is recommended you set the BOSS® Sweet Spot setting before sighting
in your rifle for windage and elevation. The BOSS® was tested in full
turn,
1
⁄2 and
1
⁄4 turn increments. Tighter groups may be achieved with
the BOSS® tested in other positions. On the Sweet Spot chart, Sweet
Spots are listed by both ammunition and rifle model. Settings not listed,
either do not apply or are for ammunition not yet tested.
PRELIMINARY ADJUSTMENTS
Before setting your Sweet Spot, it is important that your BOSS® be
calibrated with the barrel. This will ensure that your rifle is consistent
with those tested by Browning research and development when
BOSS® Sweet Spots were initially determined.
To find out if your BOSS® needs to be recalibrated, loosen the micro-
adjustable lock nut and turn it until it bottoms out on the threads of
the BOSS® – or will not loosen any further. If your BOSS® is
calibrated, the “0” on the micrometer adjustment ring will line up
with the longitudinal hatch mark on the barrel (Figure 2). If the “0” is
not aligned with the longitudinal hatch mark, you will need to
calibrate your BOSS®. Move the micrometer adjustment ring on the
bottom of the micro-adjustable lock nut so the “0” is aligned with the
longitudinal hatch mark. To adjust the micrometer adjustment ring,
insert your fingernail or a small pointed object in the split of the ring
and rotate the ring (Figure 3).
