Re: Planning on buying a .22 Tactical........do I need to si
To the OP, better read the manual that comes with the gun. You move the rear sight the direction you want to move the point of impact. What was described above is the direct opposite and will lead you off the paper.
Out of the box, you will probably hit the target, but if you want to hit the middle of the target you will need to make adjustments
Also, isn't this the M-o-s-s-b-e-r-g Family?
edit.....why does it default to ithaca when I type m-o-s-s-b-e-r-g without the dashes?

Looks like you fly planes, so I'm sure you must do pre flight inspections, so I'm sure you will have no problems understanding sighting in and the maintenance of your firearms.
There are only two adjustments that you need to adjust on the Tac22 when sighting it in. Basically speaking, a wheel that adjusts up and down and a knob that adjusts left and right. No need to worry about messing up the operation of the rifle by adjusting these, they only affect the accuracy. Pretty basic stuff here, just aim at a target and take a shot. I use a spotting scope, but a good pair of binoculars also works to see where the shot hit. If the shot hit high, just raise the rear sight with it's adjustment wheel. If it hit left of the bullseye, just turn the knob so the rear sight moves left. Keep taking shots and making adjustments until you are pounding the bullseye.
Hope this helps you, and like bello said about tear down videos for the Tac22 on Youtube, you can also find info about sighting in a rifle there. Happy shooting!
