Creedmore Sights

October 25, 2004 15:09

Hello All,

I just purchased the Quigley 34" Sharps rifle from Taylor and CO. I bought the best Creedmore sight available # 5507A in the Taylor catalog. I took this weapon the the range and it is absolutely great but I am puzzeled with the Creedmore sight. It's obvious how to set the distance but the Creedmore has a windage adjustment screw. I can't tell how to zero it our or adjust for cross wind. Is there anyplace you can get a manual for this sight[:D] or is there a web site which covers the operation of the sight?

Hello, and welcome to the forum!

While I am suprised that Taylor didn't supply you with information on your sight, as suggested above contact them and ask to have it sent out to you.

In the interim, as with any rear sight windage is set by moving the sight in the direction of the wind. Depending on the windage screw arrangement this can be by either the clockwise or counter-clockwise turning of the windage screw.

If your uncertain, from a solid rest fire 1-2 shots to set a reference point, then make at least a one full turn adjustment (either direction) and fire a couple more shots using the same aim point as used for the reference shots, and note the direction of impact movement.

I suggest a minimum of 100 yards, and using sigting targets that have 1 inch grids ... that way once you have the adjustment direction worked out, further experimentation and you can get a good feel for the distance each turn of the elevation and windage adjustments give you.

Hope this helps.

If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!
