How to Adjust a Burris Speed Dot 135 Scope

The Burris SpeedDot 135 Red Dot scope is designed to help you quickly and accurately acquire your target. The scope has no magnification qualities, but provides a bright red LED light, which can only be seen by looking through the scope, that gives you the projected point of impact of your bullet. The scope is powered by a lithium battery located inside the LED brightness dial and can be used on a shotgun, rifle or handgun. Before adjusting your scope, check your weapon to make sure that it is unloaded.
