[QUOTE="longtooth, post: 69004, member: 4039"] I use a wooden dowel to turn the front ring and a lapping bar to align the back and front rings. Then the rings are lapped in. I use friction paper in the rings and lock tight the screws. I tighten the windage screw all the way in, then I loosen it all the way counting the clicks, then divide that by 2 and tighten it that many clicks, that moves the cross-hairs to the approximate center of the tub then I sight in the windage at 50 feet using the two screws on the back ring. Then I move it out to 100 meters and again use the screws to adjust the windage, I may adjust the elevation at this time also. I move out to 300 meters and still use the screws to adjust the windage, I only use the windage knob for fine movements at the end, but not more then 10 clicks. Always loosen one screw and tighten the other to move the windage, always tighten screws very tightly before shooting. If you use the windage knob or elevation for that mater tap the scope or fire a round to make sure it has moved the cross hairs or you may get a group shift after the first round. [/QUOTE]
