Come on people, it's not rocket science. Like the pdf owner's manual said "Moving rear sight to the right will move the group to the right, etc."
I think the confusion was, he called the rear sight "front".

exactly !!!!

I think a little confusion comes from the 2 sight issue. Some older guns had fixed rear and dovetail front for adjustments. Some rear sights on a ramp don't adjust sideways (my term east west). The up down could be adjusted using the rear on a ramp and the sideways adjustment could be made with the front and or rear if so equipped.

There is no debate and it's not a matter of opinion. It may not be rocket science, but it is science: move the rear sight in the direction you want the shot to go. Generally, the front sight should be left alone.

What I do want to add is this: when sighting in, don't start from way back, start relatively close and get it on paper. I've burned up a lot of ammo starting way back and not even hitting the paper, therefore just guessing what direction to go. Just Monday I was sighting in a shotgun (slugs) for a friend. First shot, at 40 yards, was a dead miss. I immediately moved to within 15 yards so I could get on paper. Then, adjust and move back ten yards at a time. This sounds like common sense, but so does adjusting the sights, if you know what I mean.

So all the adjustment is made at the rear sight. (I think this is where some were getting confused.
The rear sight is always moved in the direction you want the POI (point of impact) to move.
So if you're hitting 3" to left, you want to move the POI and the rear sight to the right. If you're hitting 3" low you must move the POI and the rear sight up.
There are some sights that have the front sight on a dovetail for side to side (ie:windage) adjustment. In ths case you move the sight in the direction you are off. If it is left, you move the front sight left.

like I said My Gun is dead on....My buddy tried telling me the opposite so in question made me double think.....Butt thanks for replys I never new the "FRONT" sight moved butt we'll leave that alone....IA

lol so it does move..killin me softly!!!:arms:

LOL, sorry for any confusion I caused.

When I said front sight chases POI and rear sight moves away, I meant the last POI. If I'm hitting to the right, I move my front sight to the right, i.e. I CHASE the POI. If I'm adjusting the rear sight, I move it opposite the last POI. It's the same thing as saying you move the front sight the opposite way you want the next bullet to go, and the rear sight the same direction you want the next bullet to go, just a different way of saying it.

It's true that with most guns, you don't move the front sight when sighting in. Not so with the M14, the rifle I shoot most. For windage, the rear sight is ALWAYS to be left at zero when sighting it, so it can be adjusted for...you guessed it...ACTUAL windage when the need arises. You adjust the front sight when you are zeroing the gun.

old school long range ehhh?:fighting0007:

Give me 2... 3 boxes of shells and I would've figured it out. LOL!
