UPORDOWN ELEVATION ADJUSTMENTS —

Adjusting elevation on your Model 1300 requires you to

lift up the rear notch blade on your shotgun’s rear sight

with your fingers and move the notched elevator either

forward or backward. To raise point of impact, use your

fingers to lift up on the blade and slide the elevator rear-

ward. Adjusting the sight to make your gun shoot lower is

just the opposite, move the elevator forward. Remember:

• Move the blade up to shoot higher.

• Move the blade down to shoot lower.

RIGHT OR LEFT WINDAGE ADJUSTMENTS —

On most Model 1300 sights, the entire rear sight blade

holder is dovetailed in the rear sight base. To adjust for

windage, gently move the rear sight blade to the right by

tapping at the dovetail using a wood dowel or similar

material that will not mar the sight (Figure 11). Your gun

will now shoot more to the right. Moving the blade holder

to the left is just as easily done. Note how much you adjust

the sight as you sight-in your Model 1300. Remember:

• Move the rear sight to the right to shoot farther to

the right on the target.

• Move the rear sight to the left to shoot farther to

the left on the target.

SCOPE BASE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS —

Some Model 1300 shotguns are designed to accept a scope

or other optical sight; usually these are turkey and deer

models. The receiver tops of some of these models are

drilled and tapped for scope bases, while some models are

equipped with a cantilever scope base. If your shotgun

has a cantilever mount, follow the mounting instructions

supplied with your scope rings and/or scope. If your

shotgun’s receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts,

four holes (in line, in pairs on top of the receiver) will be

visible. They are fitted with filler screws. If yours is drilled

and tapped you must adhere to the following:
