Webley Eclipse scope set-up advice wanted.

[V8landy]

Hi

 

I am dusting down and refurbishing my old but trust webley eclipse.

 

As you can see in the pic I have the stock reboved which I am re doing with true oil following removal of the old lacker.

 

 

But I am after advice on setting up the scope, I do not know what is the best way or correct way.

 

There are 2 adjusters for the cross hair, up/down and left / right

 

Also the scope has setting 3 - 9 and it zomes in the scope, do I set it up for one of these or will it work for all?

 

I spent the day (before the stock was removed) shooting at tagets, and ended up with some good clusters, but I was always just off the center, ( top left of the center)

 

Thanks

Put the target at about 30 feet (less if you prefer), take 5 shots at it to see where they are grouping, make a small change left/right and up/down, take another 5 shots and adjust again, keep doing this till you are getting the centre. As for the 3-9 zoom put it on 6x and it should be perfect at 3x all the way to 9x

There are some good videos on youtube, this one in particular.
