Lots of videos online and links lead you to the Garand 1964 manual which IMO is a cluster cluck because it talks about how 2 clicks equals 1.4 centimeters and all metric. Like the M14 I assume. They describe battle zero at 25 meters compared to 250 meters which isn't even represented on the elevation dial. Of course the original manual below from WWII represents the way I was taught. 1 click equals 1 inch at 100 yards for elevation and windage or wind correction, shooting into the wind etc.
I'm 9 clicks to get the dial to read 100 yards which is an unlabeled line just below the 200 yard line. Takes me about 12 clicks from bottomed out to match the 200 yard line on the Garand knob. I need to figure out what the lines below those mean. One looks like it has another 2 in it but my eyes are bad.|
The older manual that I prefer.
Another reason I like the old manual. It says Ft Benning not Moore and it’s not politically correct at all.
