Sightron turret adjustment

Post by Shep25 »

Just wondering if anyone can help me out .
Trying to find out what tool i need to loosen the screws so i can adjust to zero.
I have tried down to a 1.5mm allen key but nothing seems to fit.
Not sure if they have their own tool for the job or nit so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Bob

Bunnings and $2 shops will probably have a 5 pack of torx 'screwdrivers' for a few bucks. Supercheap, Jaycar etc will also probably have them but they may be a bit more expensive.

Just tried the torx down to a T10 and it is too big, cant even get in the holes.
Just too clarify there are 3 small screws just underneath the top rim of the turret nit a single screw on top.

They are the model with turret caps. the MOA models have exposed turrets and a single screw in the top.
