Setting Anschutz sight scales

Post by artandscience »

Hi,

I've got a couple of older Anschutz sights I use (one for 60/75 ft and one for 50yd/metre). Both have what look like scales on the horizontal and vertical.

On my fullbore sights, I can move the scale so that once I've established a zero I can center it. However both of these sights appear to have fixed scales (secured by screws).

What am I missing here? They seem a bit useless correspondingly (not having any numbers either).

thanks,
Stefan

Stefan,

I don't think you can zero the scales as you want. These are really for quick reference. For good or ill, smallbore shooters don't track zeros as meticulously as fullbore shooters, at least here in Britain.
