Manual
provided, loosen the tension screw located on the right
hand side of the sight. Slide the sight forward with your
thumb. Use the index lines to help with your sight
adjustment. Make sure to retighten the tension screw
before firing, but do not overtighten. Adjusting the sight
to make your muzzleloader shoot lower is just the
opposite—move the rear sight down.
Remember:
• Move the rear sight up to impact higher.
• Move the rear sight down to impact lower.
WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the rear sight for windage (right or left)
adjustment, loosen the windage tension screw, located on
the top center of the sight, so that the sight will slide to
the left or right. To move the point of impact to the left,
move the rear sight to the left.
Remember:
Move the rear sight to the right to impact farther to the
right.
Move the rear sight to the left to impact farther to the
left.
After each adjustment, remember to retighten the
retaining screws.
Winchester Muzzleloading recommends the initial
sighting in of your muzzleloader at a relatively close
range—25 to 40 yards. Bullet impact should be centered
and approximately 2” to 3” high at that distance. With
an impact point 2” high at 40 yards, you should be close
to zero at 100 yards.
Remember, bullet weight and powder charge will play a
factor in the impact of the bullet. Therefore, if you make
any changes in projectiles or propellants, be sure to
resight the rifle.
SIGHTING A SCOPED RIFLE
