Many novice hunters are interested in how to properly set the scope. An optical sight is a device that is mounted on various types of weapons for the most accurate aiming at a target. This device is also used to monitor an object from a long distance. The accuracy and stability of firing largely depends on the correct installation of optics.
Model selection
When choosing a sight, it is necessary to take into account such factors as: sighting mark, magnification, complexity of adjustment, diameter, lens material, the presence of mounting rings, manufacturer, cost. At the first purchase, you need to consult an experienced hunter or get advice from a seller in an arms store. Of great importance is the quality and optimal height of the rings. An alternative is to install a candy bar. This is a special design with fixed rings.
Sight setting
The installation of an optical sight can be entrusted to a professional gunsmith or made independently. This process is not particularly difficult, but requires certain skills. Before installing the sight, you need to check the position of the fuse and make sure that the weapon is unloaded. Then it is rigidly fixed in a special machine, degreased and wiped with gun oil.
Action algorithm
To install the sight, you must put the mounting rings on the rails. To do this, you need to choose the optimal position for them. Remove their upper part, set the scope and reconnect the rings. Adjust sight, position and fix with screws on the rings.
They can be machined with a thread lock so that they do not scroll. Tighten the screws crosswise, firmly but gently. After all, with excessive force, you can damage the tube of the sight. Better to use a torque screwdriver. After installing the sight, the weapon is sighted. For this you need a sighting machine.
