elevation adjustment

"The elevation adjustment is standard."

In this case, rather than adjusting the scope to the extremes of its elevation adjustment, the scope mount can be adjusted.

This mortar was without a tripod but instead relied on its barrel yoke which contained traverse and elevation adjustments.

However, elevation adjustment was governed by a micrometer click-wheel for precision, not free-sliding like genuine military sights.

Older telescopic sights often did not offer windage and elevation adjustments in the scope, but rather used adjustable mounts to provide adjustment.

Even the military "creedmoor" type rifle sights were calibrated and designed to handle extended ranges, flipping up to provide several degrees of elevation adjustment if needed.

Malcolm used an original design incorporating achromatic lenses like those used in telescopes, and improved the windage and elevation adjustments.

Most modern shooters use much higher velocity cartridges, relying on the long point blank range, and rarely using telescopic sight's elevation adjustments, calibrated iron sights, or hold-over.

The front sight is contained in a protective hood with a hole in the top to insert an elevation adjustment tool, while the rear sight is shielded by two metal ears.

For example, some situations require fairly extreme elevation adjustments, such as very short range shooting common with airguns, or very long range shooting, where the bullet drop becomes very significant.

As Cooper long advocated, the ELCAN Specter scopes have their reticles etched on glass, and their windage and elevation adjustments are in the mount.

However, the leaf spring providing tension to the elevation adjustment on the new aperture sight tended to weaken with continued use over time, causing the rifle to lose its preset range elevation setting.

Since most people differ in build and shooting technique, the windage and elevation adjustment on the rifle sights, or zero, will be different from person to person on the same rifle.)

An attack using indirect fire required an observer to monitor the reg- istration of the preliminary shell impacts and call in range and elevation adjustments to bring the follow- ing rounds on target.

The Negev's iron sights (closed-type) consist of a front post (adjustable for both windage and elevation) and a rear aperture sight with an elevation adjustment drum, with 300 to 1,000 m range settings.

The FCS integrates a low-power laser rangefinder (precise to within 1 m), a day-time aiming channel with an electronically projected reticle, a measured range display reading and a diode elevation adjustment indicator.

The most common is a rear sight that adjusts in both directions, though military rifles often have a tangent sight in the rear, which a slider on the rear sight has pre-calibrated elevation adjustments for different ranges.

Since the fixed sights do not allow for any elevation adjustment, it is clear that this weapon is meant for combat accuracy (6" at 100 meters) at short/urban ranges only and not meant to be a precision sniping tool.

The primary purpose of the hydraulic pump was putting the barrel into battery, ramming ammunition and charges, raising or lowering the rear spade, rapid course deflection adjustment by the gunner and rapid course elevation adjustments by the assistant gunner.

All elevations in this article include an elevation adjustment from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).
