As mentioned
there is a small set screw in the windage and elevation turrets. This can be tightened really snug to "set" your position or just snugged up some to give the micrometer barrel a bit of resistance to turning. I prefer the latter since I shoot score and need to make several adjustments at the beginning of a match.
1. Bore sight your rifle at 100 yds by pulling the bolt and centering the target in the bore as best you can.
2. Holding the rifle fixed on the target adjust the scope to center the X hair on the target.
3. Shoot and see where the bullet hits the target.
4. Dial the scope to the bullet hole and you should be good to go
The elevation drum...counter clockwise will elevate the bullet impact
The windage drum....counter clockwise will move the bullet impact to the left on the target
There is also a spring loaded plunger on the rear ring, right side bottom. This pushes against the scope tube to keep it firmly in contact with the windage and elevation. That needs to be kept screwed in about half way and checked periodically so that it doesn't back out and have the spring launch the works across your bench...like happened to me at a shoot a few years ago. I like the setup and find it holds POI very well once adjusted. The adjustments take some getting used to since there are no clicks, but just dialing to the bullet hole is the answer. The other, when changing from 100 to 200 yds, is to know the approximate drop in your load between the two yardages. Then use the IBS target a gauge. If your load drops 4 inches at 200, put the X on top of the 1/2" 10 ring and turn CCwise to the bottom, repeating 4 times for 2" elevation at 100 which will be 4" at 200.
