1911jerry Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I took out my new Benny Hill gun and played around with some minor loads to get used to the gun. I noticed that the dot is shooting 6 inches low at 7 yards. I am assuming that I should go the the 25 yard range, and start adjustments up till it shoots point of aim. Also does any one use the glare sheild and the knob cover thing that makes the on/off knob feel larger? Looking for any advice. I checked the search function and got recommendations, but would like more detailed advice on a C-More. Thanks Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Dial it in reasonably close, close enough that you won't kill your chrono, then work up the load you will use for now. THEN sight it in dead on. Adjust a LITTLE bit at a time. C-more adjustments are really coarse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Yup. And when you adjust it, make the adjustment, then *lock down* the screws, and test-fire it. If you get it all zero'd nicely with the locking screws loose, then lock them down... chances are good the change in the locking screws will change the zero. $.02 B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 And when locking down the screws...be mindful not to get them too tight. Plastic can crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 ...then take a Sharpie and mark on the sight body where you have the screw slots when it's sighted in where you want it (it will always be low at 7 yards unless you go nuts with the sight in, and then you'll be way off the mark at 25), so if it does get loose, you can put it back.

JThompson Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 ...then take a Sharpie and mark on the sight body where you have the screw slots when it's sighted in where you want it (it will always be low at 7 yards unless you go nuts with the sight in, and then you'll be way off the mark at 25), so if it does get loose, you can put it back. +1 My elevation would wonder and the set screw would just get tight and feel like if I went more I would crack plastic. I took a small strand of teflon tape and wrapped it in the threads and screwed it back in.... no problem since. One more thing... sometimes it takes mine several rounds to "set." It can wander a bit until you shoot 5-10 rounds. Don't just shoot one round and adjust from that... shoot at least a 5 round group, pref 8-10.

benny hill Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Jerry, at 7 yds you should be about 2" low & dead on at 20 yds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I have a glare shield on one gun and not on the other. I can't really tell a difference. I use the Limcat round aluminum knob on the switch. It dosen't get turn on accidently when you put a cover on the C-More or put it in a gun rug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 You're also going to want to re-check your zero and re-chrono any time you change your load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyinBlue Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I took out my new Benny Hill gun and played around with some minor loads to get used to the gun. Also does any one use the glare sheild and the knob cover thing that makes the on/off knob feel larger? Thanks Jerry I use the add-on knob and I really like it...it makes it easier for me to turn on/off and the index point allows me to be sure it is on (one last thing to check during, are you ready). It makes the whole thing larger so I had to get used to seeing it in my sight picture. I'm not aware of what the glare sheild is on this optic...help? ~Nanci~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) I have the Arredondo knobs on my c-mores.... and am in the middle of taking them off. I've noticed that about 7 times out of 10, when "scooping" the gun off a table on a table-start, I've also managed to turn my dot off by inadvertantly contacting the knob. I'm switching to the Limcat aluminum "disc", instead. Just a data-point... Bruce Edited May 29, 2007 by bgary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.40AET Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'm with Bruce on the knob. I'll be switching to the Limcat soon. The Arredondo knob gets accidentally turned on while it's in the bag. It's bad enough when I leave it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hello: Any you guys want to sell your Arredondo knob for a C-More non-click type? I need one for my 8 year old sons new 22 steel pistol. Let me know. Thanks Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azone41 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I saw a guy at a match a while back stick his open gun through a port and with that knob he hit the top of the port and turned off his scope. It was kind of funny watching him move the gun around trying to find the dot that wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know. Thanks Eric Shoot me a PM with your mailing address. I'll send you mine when the Limcats come in that I ordered today. Thanks for the link Bruce. I'd be a lot happier knowing that a junior shooter has it instead of sitting in my box of junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 ditched the arrendondo knob a while ago, loved the reference point, hated the knob. now I just cut a notch with my dremel in the c-more knob in to off position and put a drop of bright red paint in it.

Aldrin Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Dumb question but...which screws are the set screws? My cmore didnt come with any instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 On the anti-glare shield, I quote Matt Burkett when I asked him about it. He said, "I live in Arizona where it's sunny 300+ days of the year and don't use one." Made sense then and now. On the knob, well...to each his (or her) own. As for your zero issue, like Benny said, at the closer distance, it should be low. LOS to LOB offset is a bear with these scopes. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin40 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) I actually leave my set screw tight. I don't even loosen them(as per Brazos I think). I just did this again prior to Area 8. It works just fine and don't have to worry about cracking the plastic housing on the C-more which I have done before. What I hate about the C-More when sighting in before was you would get it sight in perfectly and then snug up the set screw and it would change the point of impact because the set screw would push the adjustment screw in. It was annoying. No longer have to worry about it. I also tried the knob and glare shield. The knob was bumped several times and was taken off. The glare shield make the glare worse. It reflected red into the lense so red would be all I seen. Flyin Edited August 9, 2007 by Flyin40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swattdoc Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I also don't loosen the set screws and it seems to work fine. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Dumb question but...which screws are the set screws? My cmore didnt come with any instructions. Bump. Just wondering myself. I'm guessing the hex head one on the side over the slotted screw and none on top. Oh, and what size are they? The 2mm I "borrowed" from work for the batter cover doesn't fit the ones on the side.
