Congratulations on purchasing a Burris® MSR™ Riflescope! The perfect match for your modern sporting rifle, the MSR is an easy-to-use, rugged riflescope with a trajectory compensating reticle calibrated for the most popular tactical cartridges. Backed by the legendary Burris Forever Warranty, you will enjoy the following features of your MSR Riflescope: • Field Proven Reticle Technology.
How to Use Your MSR Riflescope Eyepiece Focusing The eyepiece can be focused so that the reticle appears sharp and black. Adjusting the focus is quick and easy to do, just follow this procedure: 1. Point the scope at the sky or a plain wall and take a quick glance through the scope. If the reticle appears sharp and black, no further adjustment is necessary. 2.
Parallax/Focus Adjustment – Not available on all models – Parallax is the apparent movement of the reticle in relation to the target when the eye is not directly in line behind the center of the scope. Images from different distances focus in front of or behind the scope’s reticle. Parallax is more noticeable with higher magnification scopes. Parallax is adjusted by rotating the parallax adjustment ring located on the objective bell.
Your Burris riflescope will provide a reliable performance given reasonable care and treatment. All moving assemblies are permanently lubricated. Only occasional cleaning of the outside of the scope and the exterior lenses is required. Never disassemble your scope. Disassembly by anyone other than our factory will void the warranty. If you have any other problems with your riflescope, return it to the Burris factory for repair.

Sight-in exactly at 50, 75,100, or 200 yards depending on your cartridge and bullet selection. 2. Set your scope to the highest magnification. 3. Determine the bullet path of your cartridge at the climactic conditions you will be shooting.
Technical Tip For maximum accuracy at long ranges, instead of sighting in at 100 yards using the center of the reticle, sight in at a longer range such as 400 yards using the 400-yard ballistic line. This will decrease the amount of long-range error that can occur under various environmental conditions, or when slightly under estimating point-of-impact at shorter ranges. Shoot Responsibly Long-range shooting is extremely challenging and can be very rewarding.
