on these is a bit of a pain. You have to fire a group, remove the nose cap, adjust the sight, replace the nose cap, fire another group. If you don't get it right first time, do it all again. Having the correct adjusting tool does make it a bit easier because there's a plate on the tool marked with a graduated scale indicating inches per 25 yards. 1 increment will therefore move your point of impact 4" @ 100 yds.
Instead I highly reccomend installing a windage sight arm from some online auction site, they can be $25 on a good day and $125 for a rare marked one. However, having struggled with a right shooting rifle and put impact marks all over the darn front sight trying to deal with it and making my otherwise clean enfield look like a monkey owns it, I installed a windage sight, 3 clicks to the whichever and no more problems at all. I keep the original sight to stay with the rifle.
Actually, I seem to remember Numrich had them for $20 or so, a good price.
Otherwise, if your front sight has holes in the sight ears then a purpose made sight adjuster will do it for you without removing anything from the rifle and without damage, except to the wallet to the tune of $50 plus.
