Front sight will adjust up and down, and how you will zero out the rifle at the desired setting for such.

On the rear sight, move the dial to 3 on the non-ejection side, then count the clicks that you  have from that point to move the sight down more.  You want three clicks.

If you have more or less clicks than three off the bottom, move the sight back to 3, then with an allen wrench, loosen the dial set screw located down in the sight just in from of the aperture (it's in the hole). This will loosen the top of the dial (the number part) from the bottom part of the dial that is actually controlling the housing.  Grab the bottom of the dial, bottom out the housing against the upper, raise the housing back up three clicks, then re-tighten up the allen screw.

On the apertures, you have a large battle one, and a smaller one.  The lower number on the wheel will be for the larger aperture , while the smaller number will be for the smaller.  When flipping the apertures, there is a off-set (height of the centers) between the two peeps and the reason for the different settings.

As for zeroing, pick you range and set the dial number on the back sight.  Again, the front sight post will be either lowered or raised to zero the rifle to that setting, while the windage knob on the rear sight will be used to zero for windage. on the front sight, the up mark direction is the way that you will move the sight to raise the shot.  On the rear windage, the direction arrow is the way that you move the sight to make the shot go that way.


If zeroed correctly, and using mil spec ammo, what every range a human torso target is at, just clicking the dial to that range using the correct aperture, and if you do your part, it will put the shot into the kill area.
