SIGHT ADJUSTMENT

is adjustable for windage only. The rear sight can be drifted laterally in its
dovetail on the top of the slide by tapping it with a wooden or plastic headed
hammer or similar implement. The front sight is fixed. Target models are
equipped with adjustable sights. Turning the top (elevation) sight adjustment
screw clockwise lowers
the impact of the shot. Turning the horizontal (windage)
sight adjustment screw clockwise moves the impact of the shot to the left.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ATTACHING
THE SCOPE BASE
(Competition Model Only)
1. Remove the filler screws from the top of the receiver.
2. Degrease the screw holes in the receiver.
3. Degrease the scope base screws.
4. After the degreased areas are dry, place a drop of red LOCTITE
adhesive/sealant or equivalent to the scope base screws.
5. Set the scope base on the receiver with the side notch aligned with the
ejection port of the receiver.
6. Install the scope base screws and tighten.
7. Set the assembled pistol aside overnight to allow the adhesive to set up.
ATTACHING RUGER SCOPE RINGS
On the Mark II COMPETITION TARGET MODEL pistol, the rings fit the
removable base (A07000), which is attached as described above. Make sure the
scope base screws are tight before attaching the scope ring assemblies!
Iron sights can be used with the scope base mounted on top of the receiver, so
removal of the base is not normally necessary. Three “filler” screws (B-83) are
provided to fill the scope base screw holes if the user decides to remove the base.
On the underside of each mounting ring assembly there is a locating “tab”. By
reference to this “tab”, the mounting ring can be assembled to the scope so that
the tab will fit correctly into the recess on the top of the receiver.
