The graduations from 800 to 1,800 yards are found
on the topside of the sight ladder (Figure 2). For
distances between 800 and 1,800 yards, the sight
is designed to flip rearward to the upright position.
The slide assembly can be slid up or down on the
sight ladder to the desired yardage.
W INDAGE A DJUSTMENT —
1. Loosen the windage adjustment screw on the
underside of the slide assembly (Figure 3).
2. Carefully move the slide assembly to the right or
left. Note how much you adjust the sight as you
sight in your rifle. Remember:
• Move the slide assembly to the right to shoot
farther to the right on the target.
• Move the slide assembly to the left to shoot
farther to the left on the target.
F RONT S IGHT A DJUSTMENT —
The front sight of your rifle features a removable brass
blade. Historically, elevation for different loads/brands
of ammunition was fine-tuned by carefully filing the
slide assembly down to the desired height. In this
manner, you can have customized sight blades for
every load you shoot.
