Remove the screw between the rangefinder window and the illumination window, where there would be a red dot on an M6. You will find another screw inside, which you can rotate one way or other to adjust the vertical alignment. Be careful though, you should not rotate more than a few degress at a time. I find that a bright start at night is the best reference for this kind of work. You can also perform the horizontal adjustment by rotating the screw inside the roller. Again, it only takes a very small amount of turn to make a big adjustment. If the vertical alignment is different at different distances, you definitely need to bring it in for a repair. Be sure to check the alignment again a few days later. Did I just make a few enemies?
