Using scope with external adjustment

[Gater]

Hey guys looking for some advice on how to use my
JW fecker scope.
A few years back I picked up a Winchester
Model 52b with a jw fecker scope with lyman scope mounts. Beautiful wood excellent condition $175
How do I adjust the point of impact? If I move the rear of the scope left what way will this move the point of impact same with elevation move the rear down where will this move the impact?

If you move the rear of the scope left, the front will move right, forcing you to move the gun left to compensate. Left=left.

Think opposite of what you move the rear.

Moving the rear to the left will make the scope point to the right of where it was pointing. That will make you shoot more to the LEFT of where it was shooting.

POI will follow which way you move the rear.

Thank you was thinking about redoing the finish on the stock it has some nice wood don’t know what that will do to value ? It’s not to old made in 47

Just another way to think about it. Move the rear the way that you want the bullet impact to move.

Don't refinish.Just clean it good.Then give it a rub with Renaissance wax.

Don't refinish unless it is a total dog. See above
