Adjusting the No 32 scope

[Norton1]

At the range yesterday, my first since receiving this scope, I really struggled with getting it on target. I am so used to having 1/4" moa clicks to refer to when making adjustments the lack of them had me incredibly frustrated. So - what measure do you use when making final adjustments to get a POA/POI that is the same? Or should the scope have "felt" clicks to go by?

Hello partner ..

You might want to try our Google CSE custom search engine located in the top right corner below the words "Advanced Search". It only searches our site using Google techniques and can be quite efficient. For example, in your case, type in the words no32 scope adjustment and see what happens ..

I checked and there are dozens of posts covering that topic…

Hope that helps..

Doug

I was being a bit lazy Doug - sorry for that - will do -

BTW - I had done that before - I reckon I just did not imagine there not being "clicks" to measure the movement by. Trial and error I suppose - perhaps a degree ring to slip over the drum would help this issue for me.

Be well,

No problem, any question here is a good question ...

I was just trying to help everyone, especially newer members, know they can use the custom search technique to find old threads about almost any topic, going back six years ...

Sometimes the answer they want is there.. sometimes it's not ...

A No32MkI elevation is in 50 yard increments

A No32MkIA, MkII, MkII/1 or Mk3 will have 1 moa elevation adjustment clicks

A No32MkI or MkIA has windage adjustments in 2moa clicks

A No32MkII, II/1 or Mk3 has 1 moa windage adjustment clicks

I know it's all pretty academic but I think a Mk1A has range AND windage in 1 MoA clicks......yes? I have one apart, being rebuilt on my cleanroom bench as we speak. Or do I have an odd man out here? Anyone else care to chip in?

I realize I was incredibly unclear about what I was asking. I understand the windage and elevation MOA settings once the scope's crosshairs are on target. And they make perfect sense to me. I was speaking to the issue of no clicks in the primary/initial adjustment by virtue of the tool to set the scope to center on the target. It's a guessing game as to how far the crosshair moves with a corresponding movement of the sight adjustment tool.

hey Norton, you're not the only one who gets bamboozled by the adjustments of the sight. It really is a PRACTICAL lesson as opposed to a theory lesson. During the sniper course with the No4 and L42's, the part on adjusting the optical sights was two 40 minute practical lessons (where you totally upset the readings on your own telescope..........), Then it was a boresighting lesson and later into the second week, the first live firing. First to zero in the iron sights then a day on the range where you put the practical classroom lessons into practice.

There used to all sorts of fun and games where the sight would only go up to 600 afterwards or.......... anyway. During the late summer I'll try to explain it alla with photos for all..........

There's a great little book available on all of this. I'm pretty sure all of the pertinent info is present. Written by an English bloke with loads of experience with these sort of scopes. What was his name again? Oh yeah, Peter Laidler!
