Zeiss Jena ZF6 scope... how do you adjust the windage?

[sillymike]

Morning,

Does anybody knows how to adjust the windage on these?

- I know that the dial with the white dot is for the focus.
- Once you loosen up the screw on the other dial you can adjust the elevation...
- What about the little screw in the left turret Any idea what it does?

A friend told me that I should be able to adjust the mount... but I have yet to find out how...

Thanks,
Mike.

I have these scopes in 4X - there is no windage adjustment in the scope on these rail models... the windage is done with the mount. my mounts have 4 (2 aside) horizontally opposed set screws to adjust windage... I can't see enough of your mount to tell BTW what does your mount go on....??? perhaps that will help to explain where the windage adj, is made.. AP

btw it doesn't look like there is adjustment for windage between your scope rail and the attached base... so there must be a provision for adjustment between the base and the rifle mount... fwiw

on the other hand there appears to be a small screw on the right mount... this may be your windage adjustment

And looking again... there is a possibility that the base you have has NO provision for windage and is meant to used with a rail equipped scope that also has internal windage adjustments ... some do... unfortunately your Zeiss Jena does not.

AP,

Thanks for the info... The mount is an HK claw mount, I guess the guy had it own only for show! I can't see anyway to adjust windage on it.

Mike .. I assume you have an HK... If you wanted to mount that scope on another rifle though, EAW have claw mounts to fit the rail on this scope I think...and some of their mounts have windage adjustment...pricey unfortunately. AP
