Riflescope Adjustments Windage and Elevation Adjustments MOA Adjustments Vortex 5–20x50 Razor riflescopes incorporate precision finger adjustable elevation and windage knobs with audible and tactile clicks. Elevation To make adjustments: Adjustment Knob Most shooters are familiar with the minute–of-angle (MOA) system commonly used in hunting riflescopes. MOA measurements are based on degrees and minutes: 360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes in a degree, for a total of 21,600.
Reticle Focusing Parallax Adjustment Vortex Razor riflescopes use a fast focus eyepiece designed to quickly and easily adjust the focus on the riflescope’s reticle. The Razor HD 5–20x50 riflescope uses a side focus parallax adjustment which, when properly set, eliminates parallax errors. Properly setting a side focus parallax adjustment is a quick procedure. When properly set, the target image should be sharp and crisp.
Turret Rotation Variable Power Adjustments Vortex Razor riflescopes incorporate the Radius Bar to visually assist in keeping track of turret rotations. By watching the position of the bar while making elevation adjustments, the shooter is able to quickly track full, half and quarter rotations. To get the most benefit from the Radius Bar, the “0” mark on the turret must be indexed with the zero reference line on turret post. To change magnifications, turn the magnification ring to the desired level.
Riflescope Mounting To get the best performance from your Vortex Razor riflescope, proper mounting is essential. Although not difficult, the correct steps must be followed. If you are unsure of your abilities, it would be best to use the services of a qualified gunsmith. Centering of the Reticle The Vortex Razor HD riflescope is pre-set from the factory with the reticle in the center of the adjustment ranges. This is the best position to begin sight-in.
Eye Relief and Reticle Alignment Bubble Level Place the riflescope on bottom ring halves and loosely install the upper ring halves. Before tightening the scope ring screws, adjust for maximum eye relief to avoid injury from recoil: After the riflescope is in the rings and the reticle matches the vertical axis of the rifle, the bubble level may be mounted Vertical Reference to the riflescope tube.
Bore Sighting and RZR Zero Stop Preparation Initial bore sighting of the riflescope will save time and money at the range. This can be done by removing the bolt and sighting through the barrel on a bolt action rifle, or using a mechanical or laser bore sighter. Preparing the RZR Zero Stop for setting: 1. Begin by turning the elevation knob clockwise until it stops. 2. Loosen, but do not remove, the three elevation turret cap retaining screws. 3. Lift the elevation turret cap up and off the turret.
Range Sight-In and RZR Zero Stop Set After obtaining satisfactory zero, set the RZR zero stop: After the riflescope has been bore-sighted, final sight-in and RZR Zero Stop set should be done at the range using the exact ammunition expected to be used while shooting. Sight in and zero the riflescope at the preferred distance. 100 yards is the most common zero distance, although a 200 yard zero may be preferred for long distance applications. 1. Re-tighten the three zero stop lock screws.
