Hi all, Have a Voigtlaender 4X Skoparette with a slide on sidemount on a H. Barella 20x20/8x72r. Rifle shoots 7.5 in. low at 50yds. Elevation dial is unmarked as to direction or increments. Can somebody help me with instructions? Hate to tinker much with a 90 year old scope. bauer

Raimey, the compleet history about the "Voigtländer" can be find in the Ernst Steigleder catalog if you have one. If not I scan the page and send it to you so that you can post the info. Marc.

Bauer, all these old German scopes have neither increments nor clicks built into their elevation turrets, all adjustments, both elevation (by scope turret) and windage (by scope mounts)are by trial and error. They have one thing in common: turn the "disk" right to make the gun shoot higher, left for "down". The disks were then to be marked, often with scratches, for the distances the individual gun was sighted in. Many scopes have a seperate washer with a single line screwed on top that may be moved seperately without diturbing reticle adjustment. these wer meant to be aligned after sighting in the rifle. In your case, to make the gun shoot about 7" higher, I would turn the elvation disc clockwise for about 1/8" and shoot again to see how much the poi has moved, then guess how much you have to move again. OK, it is time- and ammo consuming, but an old-style boresighter/collimator helps a lot.

Just a hint,from watching Walter Grass sighting these things in. After the first shot, align the reticle with the bullet hole,hold the rifle in this position and adjust the reticle to the desired aim point(center of target,1 1/2",2 1/2" high,etc). Shoot again and readjust if necessary.Windage,of course, is in the mounts. Mike

Längsschnitt eines Linsenzielfernrohres Strahlengang in einem Linsenzielfernrohre A more accurate translation would be "A longitudinal cutaway view of an optical telescopic sight" and "The path taken by the rays of light in an optical telescopic sight".
