Zero your EP-8
Utilizing the EP-8 8X Magnification
1. Bore-Sighting Preparation: Begin by bore-sighting your rifle. This ensures that the initial shots are close to the point of aim. 2. Firing Initial Rounds: Fire a series of three to five rounds at the target. 3. Measure POA vs. POI: Determine the difference between the point of aim (POA) and the point of impact (POI). Use the reticle or a measuring device on the target. 4. Adjust Elevation and Windage: Using the adjustment turrets, make necessary changes to align the POA with the POI. 5. Confirmation Rounds: Fire an additional three to five rounds to verify the zero. Continue adjustments until the POA and POI coincide. Please note: Each click of the turret represents a specific angular measurement. Familiarize yourself with your scope’s specifications for accurate adjustments. Standard information required: Bullet weight, caliber, ballistic coefficient, muzzle velocity, and atmospherics. Zero to 50/200 Yards
Follow these steps to utilize the 8X magnification feature effectively: 1. Zeroing at 50/200 Yards: Begin by zeroing your rifle at a distance of 50 or 200 yards. 2. Utilize a Ballistic App: Employ a ballistic application to calculate the elevation adjustments needed for distances of 600 and 800 yards. Keep in mind the bullet’s Ballistic Coefficient (BC). Note: For bullets with a low BC, the true distance will be 600 yards. For those with a high BC, it will be 800 yards. Refer to the provided reference chart for guidance. 3. Adjust the Elevation: From the KLBOX center mass hold on the reticle, subtract the calculated MOA value for the respective distance (600 or 800 yards). Example: For 600 yards: Subtract -14.78 MOA For 800 yards: Subtract -26.12 MOA 4. Elevation Turret Adjustment: Based on the result obtained, make adjustments to your Elevation Turret: If the value is positive, **ADD** it to your Elevation Turret. If the value is negative, **SUBTRACT** it from your Elevation Turret.
