General Instructions

ENGLISH

The CF 500 reticle gives hunters a series of aiming points that correspond to various centerfire loads. These aiming points allow hunters to expand their effective range. Bushnell would like to stress that these tools are only as good as the time spent practicing with them. Nothing can replace quality firing range time and becoming comfortable shooting at each of the prescribed yardages, while noting bullet placement. It is imperative for the hunter to spend time at the range, gaining familiarity with the reticle and how it works with their firearm and bullet load. Ballistic performance can vary depending upon a number of factors, including barrel length, powder type, bullet type, and numerous weather/atmosphere related variables.

The user can sight-in at 100 yds on any magnification setting, but for the ballistic reticle feature to function properly, the scope’s magnification must be set to the correct power. The correct settings for the scopes that include the CF 500 reticle are as follows:
