ELEvATion And WindAgE TuRRETS

The turrets of the Bushnell

®

 Elite

®

 Tactical Riflescope provide audible and visual references. Each turn of the turret provides an audible 

“click” which coincides with a movement of the visible reference point on the turret knob. Additionally, clicks can be felt by your fingers 
as the turret knob moves. Each “click” represents .1 mil.

The Bushnell Elite Tactical Riflescope features T-Lok

 (locking) turrets. When a turret is lifted (elevated) into the upward position it can 

be rotated in either direction to make appropriate adjustments. After adjustments are made, the turret can be pushed back into the 
downward position to prevent movement, or left elevated and ready for further adjustments if preferred.

With the turrets pulled fully upward, rotate the elevation turret knob counterclockwise to move the reticle plane up, or clockwise to move 
it down.  Rotate the windage dial counterclockwise to move the reticle plane right, or clockwise to move it left.

After adjustments have been made, you can reset the turret to zero by following the steps below:

1.   Ensure the turret is in the lock position.
2.  Use a coin or flathead screwdriver to remove the turret screw found on top of the turret knob, being careful not to displace the 

o-ring found under the turret knob.

3.  Remove the turret knob and return it to the turret, with the “zero” mark on the knob lining up with the vertical index line on the 

turret.

4.   Return turret screw to top of knob and tighten down, making sure the turret knob is in the locked position so the turret knob 

does not turn while tightening the screw.
