You were right. The windage turret is there. It was just good and stuck on lol.

Suppose I will just need to toss it on a gun and give it a go. Hopefully my rail turns up before Thursday.

Still notnsute about the numbering on the elevation turret though.

So here's my best guess by just looking at the picture

sight it in at the dial at 100 shooting from 100yds. Then move to 200 yds and turn the dial to 200. If it was properly sighted in at 100 yds with the dial at 100, then at 200 yds with the dial at 200 - you should be shooting bulls at that distance. It sort of looks like a tactical scope wheel that I currently have on one of my weapons.

Took a quick trip to the range today. Shot 50 rounds 230gr. cast .45 ACP - they did great. Had 10 loads for the Enfield and 10 loads for the 8MM Mauser. The Enfield was separating case heads due to the springy bolt. The Mauser did real good. I plan to kill something with it this fall. 150gr. jacketed bullet over some IMR 3031 and they held right at 1 inch at 50 yards off bench. I believe I can get them tighter than that. WW2 rifle with issue sights, 42 year old eyes......

I also shot the Mauser FR8 with some 150gr. RNFP cast bullets over IMR 3031. They did well as well, but shot high.

Well that was fun... I unscrewed that top turret, and under that there was an moa coin slot click turret. I reckon I can work with this now lol.

Rescoped these little beauties today. Hopefully get to the range and zero them in tonight. Next step is a couple of bipods.

Trajectory compensating adjustment. This is true, but the one I had had several different dials which could be changed-out for different calibers and bullet grains.
There was a chart included for that as well.

This one surprised me when I first came across this video, I shoot with a .22 Browning carbine using a Wildcat suppressor and subsonic hollow points CCI 40gr ammo, the biggest things I shoot are Rabbits and Pigeons, then I see this video where a 400lb Hog is easily taken out totally blows my mind, in the UK they will not even consider shooting something that big with anything less than a 223 or 224, it's made me think differently about .22 rifles for sure.

Yea, it is all in where you place your shot taking into consideration the limiting factor of your ammunition. There was a noted commercial ivory hunter who killed many an elephant using a 257 Rigby with a head shot into a specific area from a certain angle. WDM (Karamojo) Bell was his name.

Did a little shooting today... 62 cal Smoothbore Flintah ...
