Hersdorf,
I bought a Tasco 6x44, 26mm tube, at a gun show, maybe 20 years ago. The guy I bought it from said it was a NATO sniper scope and sold it with a photocopy of a manual page. Unfortunately, it was the wrong manual.
I have since found a better manual online, for Tasco model # WA6X44B. Unfortunately, some of its information is wrong, too. It says the clicks for elevation are 1 MOA. The wrong manual said the clicks were 1/4 MOA. I remember that, because when I used it, I corrected for the number of 1/4 MOA clicks that the group was low, then the next group was the same distance high. So the clicks for elevation on my scope are 1/2 MOA.
This manual says that you should zero the scope for 200 yards. "First, set windage and elevation on the external knobs to "0" position. Then remove the windage and elevation caps and move the internal adjustment in the direction of the arrow to change bullet point of impact."
"Windage and elevation adjustments can be made by turning the hand operated external knobs (with click noise) and the internal thumbnail adjustment (smooth-operating, with infinite adjustments)"... and 1/4 MOA indicators.
This is my first post on this forum, and I signed up to allow other users to email me. If you want a copy of the manual, I can email it to you as a .pdf file, or mail you a printout.
