ROUBLESHOOTING
Many times, problems thought to be with the scope are actually mount
problems. Be sure that correct base and rings are being used in the correct
orientation, and that the base screws and rings are tight. Insufficient
windage or elevation adjustment range may indicate problems with rings,
base, base alignment, base mount holes drilled in the rifle’s receiver, or
barrel/receiver alignment.
Check for Correct Base and Ring Alignment
• Roughly center the reticle by adjusting both windage and elevation
turrets to the mid point of their travel ranges.
• Attach bore sighter, or remove bolt and visually boresight rifle.
• Look through the scope. If the reticle appears way off center on the
boresighter image or when compared to the visually centered target when
looking through rifle’s bore, there may be a problem with the bases or rings
being used. Confirm that correct base and rings are being used—and in the
proper orientation.
Tips for Solving Bullet Grouping Problems
• Maintain a good shooting technique and use a solid rest.
• Check that all screws on rifle’s action are properly tightened.
• Be sure rifle barrel and action are clean and free of excessive oil or
copper fouling.
• Check that rings are correctly torqued per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Some rifles and ammunition don’t work well together—try
different ammunition and see if accuracy improves.

Vortex Optics believes strongly in responsible, ethical hunting and a word
should be said about long range shooting at game. Although riflescopes,
like the Vortex HS LR series, can make long distance shots much easier,
there are still many other variables, such as wind, affecting every shot. It is
important for hunters shooting at long distances to learn their personal
effective range, particularly in windy conditions, and to not shoot beyond
those distances at game. Please be responsible—the keys are knowing
your rifle, ammunition and your own abilities!
