[foxtails 272]

hi guys, iv tryed twice , to zero in on my 3-9x56 air rifel sights, with no luck, ( i say luck but i no its not) the set of sights i bought were from china, so i dont rely on theyr zeroing in ect ect, but i could be completly wrong, the instuctions i got on this piece of paper is turn direction, upper handwheel then at the bottom of that it says left hand wheel, ill get a copy of this and show you so you can tell me where im going wrong, has im always 3 inches by 2 inches out Every time, its frustating! ..... do i turn the screws or turn the whole click ect as it says ? thanks in advance FT

It's the whole "click" thing you turn. They are normally 1/4 moa which is 1 click for 1/4" at 100 yards, so 4 clicks for one inch.

 

I assume you are shooting nearer than that, so say at 25 yards, you would need to adjust it by 16 clicks for one inch.

before you start trying to sight it in ft make sure your mounts are seated properly and the spacing/gaps around the scope clamp are all balanced/the same!

The adjuster on top is for elevation and the one on the right is for windage (l-r)

 

Get the elevation right first then start tinkering with the windage.
