you encounter resistance.
The elevation Adjustment screw is located on top of the sight, while the
windage screw is located on the right or left side, depending on how the
sight has been mounted on the weapon. Aimpoint sights can be installed to
support either right hand (g. 2) or left hand (g. 3) shooters.

mm at 100 meters and 32 mm at 200 meters or 1/4” at 50 yds, 1/2” at 100
