Title: HW35e
Post by: jkingrph on August 26, 2022, 06:03:09 PM
I got oneof the Anschutz diopters in and mounted it on my 35e this afternoon. Using the factory front post with a 6 o'clock hold at about 20 yards it was immediately giving sub dime size groups a little high and left.  The German way of marking up-down, left-right is not very intuitive for us English speakers, so when I finally figured out I was going the wrong ways got it dialed in.  I also discovered the stock screws all three were loose, but that did not seem to make much difference in shooting.  Even though we are having a cool spell, temp is 90 with 65% humidity, I was sweating enough to affect my shooting so called it a day.  At least it is on target, definetly minute of sparrow or squirrel if I want.  I am really liking these diopter sights, have them on six out of 9 rifles now. not counting the rimfires and centerfire rifles.

Nice.  I love diopters for shooting round targets at known distances but i find open sights easier to dope for elevation and to pick out small targets in natural backdrops.
