Alaskapopo Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I still have not got my dies from Dillon for my new 38 super comp. Anyway it being a used pistol I did not get manuals for anything including the sight. The seller mentioned set screws that need to be loosened before you make the windage and elevation adjustments. Anyone have a pictorial lesson on what scews need to be loosened and how to adjust a Cmore. I don't want to break anything. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glk21C Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 http://www.cmore.com/adjustments.html you might try calling c-more, they might have a PDF version of the owners manual they can e-mail to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyburg Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Don't forget to unscrew the allon screw before trying to adjust up and down. And make sure you tighten it up once it is sighted. I forgot that part on day. not fun if you forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CocoBolo Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Beyond the Manual Note that open guns are just a little different. Any time you change your load (powder, primer, bullet, etc) you need to verify your Zero. Changing from N350 to TruBlue at @ the same FPS moved my Zero 4" up and 2" left. I normally Zero in at about 25 yards from a rest. This I think gives a true left/right, and then I may adjust the up/down slightly at a shorter range like 15 yards where most of the shots take place. I also makes good sense to periodally verify Zero as well as crono, I do this at least once each quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I also makes good sense to periodally verify Zero as well as crono, I do this at least once each quarter. I check my zero both in close (3 yards) and at distance (25 yards) every time I practice. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THM7 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Do not over tighten the locking screws after you make the adjustment....you can crack the plastic case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Do not over tighten the locking screws after you make the adjustment....you can crack the plastic case. I found my adjustment wandering - finally realized it was some screws on my GRIP had loosened. Check all your screws once in a while, including the two on the sight and the five that hold the mount on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 When you are zeroing the C-More when you tighten the lock screws it can move the zero. When you get close to where you want to be tighten the lock screws after each adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calishootr Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 +1 to what sigle stack said, its not even close to being like a rifle scope in adjustment...when you putthe screwdriver to it, dont move it from saythe 12 o clock position to saythe 3 o clock position because morethan likely you will have moved it at least 8 inches in a direction you didnt want to go, for me if i needto make a small adjestment, i feel the screwdriver 'give' and stop, chances are it moved just enuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911Prof Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Caution! The adjustment is VERY coarse! I usually put the screw driver in the adjustment screw and THINK up when trying to make fine adjustments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan R. Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Caution! The adjustment is VERY coarse! I usually put the screw driver in the adjustment screw and THINK up when trying to make fine adjustments That's funny and true. when I first adjusted mine, I adjusted it off the target!!

jid2 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 One trick about the Cmore is that it uses a live plastic hinge as the locating feature of the lens. Although there are separate screws for elevation and windage it does not mean that an adjustment to one will not effect the other, as they are translated through the same singular hinge to the lens. You will often need to re-adjust one or the other in a loop to gets things finalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark carr Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hey Pat I have my first C-more on the way we will have to get together and get this baby's sighted in Mark, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hey Pat I have my first C-more on the way we will have to get together and get this baby's sighted in Mark, I almost had my gun sighted in. I found you have to make small adjustments and see where it hits. Like those on here said the adjustments are coarse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark carr Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Yep I sighted mine in today it wasn't to bad just had to keep warming up that plastic before I tried adjusting it was 20 outside and blowing 20mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 From the Cmore manual: ADJUSTMENT NOTES: 1) The windage and elevation adjustment screws both have locking screws which must be loosened before the sight can be adjusted. Failure to do so could result in damage to the sight. 2) The adjustment screws are extremely sensitive, especially the elevation screw. You will only need to turn them slightly to change your point of impact. 3) The adjustment screws are tight to turn. This is normal. Make sure to use a screwdriver that fits the slot correctly and make sure the locking screws are loose before attempting to make adjustments. 4) Elevation: Clockwise moves point of impact up. 5) Windage: Clockwise moves point of impact right. 6) Remember to loosen the locking screws before making an adjustment and lock the locking screws after each adjustment. 7) When making final adjustments, tune the elevation first and lock it down, then repeat for the windage. ZEROING PROCEDURE: 1) Turn the sight on and adjust the brightness to suit the lighting condition. 2) Shoot a 3 shot group at a target 10 yards away to get on paper. 3) Loosen the locking screws and adjust the windage and elevation so your group is centered and 2 to 3 inches low. 4) Since the sight can only be zeroed for one distance, zero for the farthest distance you will shoot with this firearm. 5) Shoot a 3 shot group at the final distance you determined in step 4. 6) Adjust the windage and elevation until zero is achieved.

fred fague Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Using different bullets will change your zero. Such as MTG CMJ and JHP have different zeros as well as Zero JHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsimo Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm confused, where is the locking screw for the elevation? Is it on the opposite side of the sight? If so, is it the one with the slot or the one that takes an Allen wrench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 There us very good stuff about C-mores at http://re-gun.com/2011/05/c-more-care-and-feeding-fixing-wandering-windage/ There are 3 articles worth reading.

BeerBaron Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Both locking screws are on the right. Both take Allen keys (different sizes). Windage is also on the right (screw driver) and elevation on top (also screw driver). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
