right. Moving the blade holder to the left is just as easily
done. Note how much you adjust the sight as you sight-in
your Model 9422. Remember:
• Move the rear sight to the right to shoot farther to
the right on the target.
• Move the rear sight to the left to shoot farther to the
left on the target.
Care should be taken not to mar the finish, damage the
attaching screws or bend sight components when adjust-
ments are made.
The front sight bead is also held in a dove-tail mount on
the sight base. It is possible to make windage adjustments
by tapping it to one side or the other, just like the rear
base. Remember, when adjusting the front sight you get
the opposite results: move to the right and you shoot
more to the left, move the bead to the left and you’ll
shoot more to the right.
All sight adjustments — of course — are a matter of trial
and error. Remember, it is usually necessary to reset your
sights when you change type or even brand of ammuni-
tion. High velocity 22 Long Rifle ammunition will almost
always have a different point of impact than a target
grade load or a hollow point load.
SIGHT MAINTENANCE —
Occasionally check your sights to make sure they have
not been jarred or vibrated out of adjustment. This is
especially important after extensive shooting or after
hunting under rugged conditions. Check the two screws
holding the rear sight blade in place on the blade mount
and carefully tighten if necessary. Check the screw hold-
ing the front sight base to the barrel. The front hood is
held in place by slight indents in each side rail. If neces-
sary it can be removed by carefully pulling it forward and
off. Re-installation is the reverse. Front and rear sight
bases should always be tight on the barrel and dove-tails
should be snug.
