Satern Front Sight Alignment Tool
Basic Instructions
The Satern Front Sight Alignment Tool is a tool to quickly align
(windage wise) clamp on, ladder or other adjustable front sights
with the windage zero you desire for your rear sight.
If you follow the simple instructions below you can quickly
align your front sight with your rear sight with a minimum
amount of effort.
Lets get started! First ensure that the windage of the rear
sight is at the zero you desire. For most shooters this is
middle of travel in order to provide the maximum amount of
windage each way once the process has been completed. Once you
do this, set your windage scale to zero. Next, fire one shot at
the center of a safe target (the distance to your target does
not matter but we recommend 100 yds). Adjust the rear sight
windage as necessary, repeat firing and adjusting your windage
until your point of impact (for windage) is the center of the
target. Once this is complete the amount of windage error that
the front sight has can be quickly determined by counting the
amount of clicks that it takes to return the rear sight back to
zero (on your windage scale). For instance, if the rear sight
has to be moved 12 clicks to the right to come back to zero,
then the front sight will need to be moved the equivalent of 12
clicks to the right. This actual distance can be determined by
using the attached chart. For instance, using the same example
and using a Redfield Palma sight, the front sight needs moved
the equivalent of 12 clicks or 12 x 0.002 = 0.024 to the
right. This is accomplished by mounting the Satern Front Sight
Alignment Tool to the barrel and placing the indicator on the
front sight at a height approximately even with the center of
the aperture of the front sight. Once the tool is mounted and
tightened with the indicator depressed, the dial can be set on
zero. The front sight can then be loosened and moved 0.024 as
indicated on the dial. This will be a very small movement but
can easily be seen on the dial. Once the movement has been
completed and the front sight is secured, the alignment tool can
be removed. A verification shot at a safe target is always
recommended to ensure that the front sight was moved in the
proper direction and to confirm that your windage zero is
correct.
