XIX. SIGHTING IN AND SCOPE MOUNTING
REFER TO THE BARREL JACK INSTRUCTIONS FOR MORE
DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT SIGHTING IN YOUR EXPRESS
DOUBLE. THESE ARE BASIC SIGHTING IN INSTRUCTIONS.
SIGHTING IN:
S t a rt your sighting in at approximately 25 yards with a large targ e t .
To adjust:
Move the rear sight slide for elevation adjustment.
Move the rear sight aperture for windage adjustment.
Move the slide and/or aperture in the direction you want the
bullet to move.
NOTE – Traditions recommends while sighting in your
muzzleloader that you clean the bore every three shots. By
doing this you are starting out with a fresh, seasoned bore
that will help prevent some shooting errors such as powder
build up that could cause poor accuracy. Different
projectiles and recommended powder charges can vary in
accuracy, so make sure to sight in using the same
projectiles and powder charges first and then change if
needed. Make sure to use the recommended charges only
listed in this manual.
SCOPE MOUNTING:
The Express Double is drilled and tapped for mounting a scope. A
steel 1 piece base is provided with your muzzleloader. This base
is unique to the Express Double and is the only base that should
be used when mounting a scope or red dot sight.
METHOD 2
1. Open the gun and carefully remove the primer from each
breech plug.
2. Using a range/bench ramrod, with a ball puller screw in one
end, insert the screw end into the muzzle until the screw
makes contact with the projectile.
3. Apply pressure to the end of the ramrod while at the
same time turning it, allowing the ball puller screw to bite
into the projectile.
4. Continue turning the ramrod until you can determine that
the ball puller screw is well anchored into the projectile.
5. Firmly grasp the exposed end of the ramrod with projectile
attached, pull it through the barrel and out of the muzzle.
One continuous non-stop pull is generally best.
6. Repeat this process in the other barrel if it is loaded and
you would like to remove the powder and projectile.
NOTE – When extracting saboted bullets the first few inches of
the pull may separate the projectile from the plastic sabot.
At this point the bullet will be free from the sabot and will
come out easily. It will then be necessary to reinsert the ball
puller screw back down the barrel(s) and screw it into the
plastic sabot and also pull it out.
6. Remove powder out of each barrel.
7. Clean and dry the bore of each barrel making sure
the breech area is dry before reloading fresh powder
and projectile.
