WARNING: CAREFULLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN

THIS OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR

USING YOUR VERNIER SIGHT. ALWAYS KEEP THE

MUZZLE OF YOUR FIREARM POINTED IN A SAFE

DIRECTION. OPEN THE ACTION. MAKE CERTAIN

YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED BEFORE ATTACHING

YOUR SIGHT.

The Creedmoor vernier tang sight set (Figure 1) may

have been installed at the factory. If you purchased

this sight as an accessory, perform the following

installation instructions or contact a qualified

gunsmith for installation.

Descriptions in these instructions generally refer to

the firearm in the horizontal, normal firing position.

For example, the muzzle is forward or front; the

buttstock is rearward or rear; the trigger is downward

or underneath; the sights are upward or on top.

F RONT S IGHT —

1. If there is a front sight already installed on your

rifle, remove the front sight by carefully tapping

the base of the sight from the left to the right

using a hammer and a soft non-marring drift.

2. The vernier front sight is installed with the spirit

level to the rear. Start the base of the sight in the

dovetail from the right side of the barrel.

3. Gently tap the sight base from right to left using a

hammer and a soft non-marring drift until it is

centered in the dovetail.

R EAR S IGHT —

1. Remove the two screws in the top tang of the rifle

buy turning them counterclockwise. When

removing or installing the rear sight assembly, use

a screwdriver of the correct size and be careful not

to mar or gouge the rifle’s finish.

2. Secure the rear sight assembly to the tang of the

rifle using the two screws supplied (Figure 2).

The rear sight assembly features a detent that

securely holds the sight in place during use and

allows it to be folded down rearward for

transportation. In the folded position, the rear sight

should not be allowed to touch the buttstock of the

rifle as it will mar the rifle’s finish (Figure 3). A small

fabric or leather pad inserted between the rear sight

and the comb of the buttstock may help prevent

marring of both the sight and the stock during

transportation and storage.

The rear sight assembly allows you to choose from

sight disks in three different aperture sizes: .050",

.060", and .070". The size of the aperture is stamped

on the back side of the sight disk as 50, 60 or 70,

respectively. These apertures allow you to adjust to

changing light conditions.

The sight disk is threaded into the elevator and when

secured, performs a lock-down function to prevent

vertical movement of the elevator.
