R IGHT O R L EFT W INDAGE A DJUSTMENTS —
The rear sight base is dovetailed into the barrel of the
rifle. To adjust for windage, move the rear sight base to
the right or left by tapping the dovetailed base using a
wood or fiber dowel or hammer that will not mar the sight
base (Figure 10). If you tap the rear sight base to the right
your gun will shoot more to the right. Moving the rear
sight base to the left is just as easily done. Note how much
you adjust the sight as you sight-in your rifle. Remember:
• Move the rear sight to the right to shoot farther to
the right on the target.
• Move the rear sight to the left to shoot farther to
the left on the target.
Care should be taken not to mar the finish, damage
the attaching screws or bend sight components when
adjustments are made.
The front sight blade is also held in a dovetail mount
on the sight base. It is possible to make windage
adjustments by tapping it to one side or the other, like
