New Tracker II - Zeroing
« on: November 04, 2005, 07:01:17 AM »
Hi,
 
I just bought a Tracker II (12Ga)  for the shotgun only zone around Saskatoon. I'll be headed out for mule deer does, a whitetail doe and hopefully one of the wall hanger whitetail bucks that are close to the city.
 
I need to zero the gun and I'm set on sighting in at 2.75" high at 50 yards with Remington Copper Solids (2 3/4").
 
I've looked at the rear sight and noticed the single screw on top. How do I adjust it for windage and elevation? Is the Tracker II boresighted from the factory?
 
Thanks in advance for your help.

The Tracker II is not necessarily bore sighted. If you look on the right side of the rear sight below the blade slot, you should see a small screw used to adjust for windage.....

Have a good time sighting that in and getting ready!

For my Tracker II, in order to get the elevation  set to a low level [read that profile]  for the slugs I am using, I filed the front sight down a littlte [to raise point of impact]. That way I did not have the rear sight at maximum height, ready to snag on small brush or clothing at the worst moment......
Squirrel.......the OTHER dark meat.....!

First Deer - Remington Copper Solid

Hi,

I took my first deer this morning with my 12Ga Tracker II. It seemed to perform well, although I found a copper petal inside. Does anyone know if these copper solids tend to disintegrate?

Taming the Recoil
« Reply #3 on: November 16, 2005, 07:11:13 AM »
Just another note. I filled the butt stock hole with #9 lead shot. It seems to have added enough weight to the gun that the recoil isn't so bad anymore.
