Windage and Elevation Adjustments
Making precise adjustments to the elevation (vertical) and windage (horizontal) turrets during the sight-in process is critical to success. 1. Locate the Turrets: Identify the windage and elevation turrets on the scope body. Looking directly at the eyepiece, the windage turret is located on the right side, and the elevation turret is on top. The windage and elevation turrets are the only turrets that have caps on them that cover them completely. 2. Understand the Directional Movements: Windage: Turning the windage turret clockwise moves the point of impact to the left and counter clockwise moves it to the right. Elevation: Rotating the elevation turret clockwise lowers the point of impact and counter clockwise raises it. 3. Making Adjustments: Windage: Use the windage turret to move the point of impact horizontally, aligning it with your point of aim. Elevation: Utilize the elevation turret to adjust the point of impact vertically, aligning it with your point of aim. 4. Recording Changes: Keep track of the adjustments made. Scopes use Minute of Angle (MOA) or Milliradian (MRAD) measurements for precision. 5. Fine-Tuning: Fire additional shots, making minor adjustments as needed to achieve the desired point of impact. Remember, each click of the turret represents a specific angular measurement. Its recommended to get familiar with the scope specifications and ballistic calculations for more accurate adjustment.
