Bushnell FIRST STRIKE 730005 User manual

Model # 730005 / AR730005 / AR730005C
Lit #: 98-2313/03-13
Reex Red Dot Sight

3
Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell
“First Strike” electronic reex sight. Featuring a 5
MOA red dot reticle with convenient self-regulating
brightness, and a fully waterproof and shockproof
design with integrated mount, this is a state-of-the-
art scope designed for hunting, plinking and target
shooting with pistols, ries, shotguns and bows.
Engineered for greater speed and accuracy, this
sight allows you to focus on the target rather than
a reticle, thus increasing accuracy. The First Strike’s
electronic illuminated dot has been pre-focused so
the point of aim always appears against the target.
By comparison, standard rie or pistol scopes bring
the target into focus only on the internal reticle.
Its aiming system is engineered to be the brightest
of its kind. All in all, this sight is proof positive that
Bushnell is positioned squarely on the leading edge
of advanced technology.
The model# AR730005/AR730005C versions of the
First Strike sight include a tall riser block to position
the sight at an optimum height on AR-15 at tops or
tactical shotguns (see pg. 7).

MOUNTING YOUR FIRST STRIKE REFLEX SIGHT
• Any Weaver or Picatinny style base is suitable for
mounting the First Strike (model# 730005). Make
sure the base you use is manufactured specically
for your pistol, rie or shotgun. Be sure the base is
properly installed and securely fastened according
to the manufacturer’s instructions for your safety.
• There is no set eye relief for this sight, therefore, you
should provide at least three inches of clearance
between the end of the sight and your eye when in
the shooting position.
• Loosen the hex bolt on the mount of the sight (C)
using the large hex wrench (K). Position the mount
on your base rail so that the crossbolt engages a slot.
Tighten the hex bolt.
MOUNTING THE FIRST STRIKE SIGHT WITH HI-RISE
BLOCK (AR models only)
The AR730005/AR730005C versions of the First Strike
Reex Sight are supplied with a “Hi-Rise” mounting
block that can be used to position the sight at the
correct height for optimum performance on an AR-15
style rie with a at top receiver.
In order to use the riser block, rst install the sight onto
the block by following the steps in the previous section
(“Mounting Your First Strike Reex Sight”). Once the sight
is installed on the Hi-Rise block, the entire assembly can

be mounted on the weapon by following these steps:
1. Loosen the mounting screw so that the clamp will
t over the tapered side of the rearm’s Picatinny
or Weaver rail.
2. Insure that the tapered clamp on the riser is
oriented with the chamfered (beveled) end of the
clamp at the top (Fig. 1).
3. Ensure that the riser’s cross screw with nut is
tightened to clamp it rmly to the weapon’s rail
(Fig. 2). Turn the large nut on the riser block ¼ to
½ turn with a coin, screwdriver or ½” wrench.
WARNING! Do not over tighten.
4. Complete zeroing according to the “Zeroing Your
First Strike”section that follows.

ZEROING YOUR FIRST STRIKE REFLEX SIGHT
Note: the following should be done at an approved
range or other safe area. Eye and ear protection is
recommended.
The First Strike scope has an integrated photocell (pg.
4, A), which automatically activates the unit when the
protective lens cover (H) is removed, so there is no power
switch. When you are nished using the scope, simply
replace the cover to turn the power o again. Brightness
of the 5 moa red dot is also automatically regulated by
the photocell, based on the level of ambient light.
1. With the scope mounted and with the protective
lens cover (H) removed, rest the gun on a solid
support.
2. Start by sighting along the barrel and aim at a
target 25 to 50 yards away. View through your
electronic sight and gently rotate the windage (F)

and elevation adjustments (E), using the supplied
large hex wrench/screwdriver (K) , to align the red
dot with the target as seen along the barrel.
3. You should then re a test shot to determine the
point of impact of your weapon. If you are not
hitting your aiming point (the center of the target)
make an adjustment by turning the windage or
elevation screw(s) in the direction you want the
bullet to move. The chart on the next page will
aid you in determining the proper amount of
adjustment necessary depending upon the range
at which you are shooting.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Your new Bushnell First Strike electronic sight is
powered by one 3V “coin-style” lithium battery, Type
2032 (J) (pre-installed). Should your reticle grow dim
or not light at all, you will need to replace the battery.
To install a new battery, use the provided small hex
wrench (L) to loosen the two bolts (G) on the top panel.
Remove the top section of the sight and insert the
battery “+” side up as shown in the Parts Guide. Align
and replace the top section and tighten the bolts (G).
