If the rifleman wishes to adjust his rifle to strike a target at a distance instead of along an incline, he needs to adjust the bore angle of his rifle so that the bullet will strike the target at . This requires adjusting the rifle to a horizontal zero distance setting of R Z e r o = R H cos ( α ) {\displaystyle R_{Zero}=R_{H}\cos(\alpha )} .
The Marlin Model 336 is a lever-action rifle and carbine made by Marlin Firearms. Since its introduction in 1948, it has been offered in a number of different calibers and barrel lengths, but is commonly chambered in .30-30 Winchester or .35 Remington , using a 20- or 24-inch barrel.
Sights may have been loosened or moved from their intended positions since the last test firing. [4] Optional telescopic sights may have replaced original iron sights. The firearm may have been sighted in for a different target distance. The shooter may be using different ammunition than used for previous testing. [5]
With tangent sights, the rear sight is often used to adjust the elevation, and the front the windage. The M16A2 later M16 series rifles have a dial adjustable range calibrated rear sight, and use an elevation adjustable front sight to "zero" the rifle at a given range. The rear sight is used for windage adjustment and to change the zero range.

It is 3.4×28, meaning 3.4x magnification, and a 28mm diameter objective lens. A tritium illuminated reticle provides for normal and low-light conditions sighting. [1]

The Chiappa Rhino is an example of a pistol with a low bore axis. The SIG Sauer P226 is an example of a pistol with a high bore axis.. The recoil from a fired cartridge (and the action movement) exerts a rearward impulse along the bore axis, which is commonly above the center of mass of the gun.
For a shooter, eye relief is also a safety consideration. If the eye relief of a telescopic sight is too short, leaving the eye close to the sight, the firearm's recoil can force the optic's eyepiece to hit and cut into the skin around the shooter's eye, leaving a curved scarring laceration on the medial end of the supraorbital ridge and the ...
