Alright, not to nit pick, but something doesn't make sense- I'm trying to learn here, so bear with me.
Let's talk in terms of basic trig- you have one line- that of the barrel/muzzle. On a wind-free day, that's the straight path the bullet will take out to infinity.
Now, you're trying to get your rear aperture and front post to line up with that line. And here's my confusion point- unless those two are perfectly in line with the barrel, won't a 100 yard zero *not* be the same as a 600 yard zero, windage-wise?
Put another way, if the front post and the muzzle don't line up perfectly with the barrel, won't a windage adjustment done on the rear sight only work at certain distances?
As you can tell I haven't done this before (still waiting on my ammo
), but I'm trying to learn as much as possible (hence my original question on adjusting the front sight.)
Thanks!
