tuck1 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi Can anyone who has a max pro type lamp explain to me how the windage/elevation dooberry thing works please? Does winding move it up down, then winding more move it left/right? I can't really see a difference. Ta Tuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandersj89 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Anyone? I will try and check later on mine. There are 2 adjustments I beleive, the outer **** is windage and the inner screw moved with an alan key is elevation. Not had to fiddle with mine, out of the box it was fine on my HMR.

tuck1 Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Thanks Jerry. I hadn't even seen the inner Allen key bit! Doh! If you do figure it out please let me know, it's a little low on mine, although windage is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinner Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 mount it on your scope first then make adjustments to the beem,best bet is to adjust it at night when you are looking through the scope,other wise you'll look through the scope and the spot beem will be off,if you no what i mean.

sandersj89 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Thanks Jerry. I hadn't even seen the inner Allen key bit! Doh! If you do figure it out please let me know, it's a little low on mine, although windage is fine From the instructions: Initial Adjustment - Horizontal and Elevation The **** at the rear of the light is the horizontal and elevation adjustment. With the light fitted to the scope use the allen key in the centre of the **** so the light is in line with the vertical cross hairs of the scope; once set this will not need further adjustment. The elevation of the beam can be set using finger adjustment of the **** to suit long or short shots. NOTE:- If turned too far anticlockwise the **** may become detached inside - if so open the light and apply light pressure to the reflector, without touching the chrome surface, whilst turning the **** clockwise to relocate the adjustor. Hope that helps Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuck1 Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 ^ It does Jerry thank you for your time. 11 rabbits have found it to be effective tonight, however now I am going to play and get it just how I want it.

tuck1 Posted September 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 It's working great thanks mate, I just need to tweak it a bit. You know how it goes, once you get things set up just right you can concentrate on taking the shots and not worrying about the rest of it. I spent 5 mins watching a badger from about 20yds away, had the red filter on. It never even looked up. After a few minutes I thought I would take the filter off. No reaction. It just carried on as before. Nice to see. The thing is very bright for it's size. If you don't find that dimmer I think I will still get one, it is a while since I have used one of these types of lamps, and I forgot how much light they put out. I think the local village must have thought that aliens had landed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuck1 Posted September 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Most kind, cheers. In my eagerness in the dark I have left my allen key set behind, so it will have to wait for now. Thanks for the offer Jerry. Is there much more I need to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
