Winchester Repeating Arms 1885 Creedmoor - Manual (Page 4)

should not be allowed to touch the buttstock of the
rifle as it will mar the rifle’s finish (Figure 3). A small
fabric or leather pad inserted between the rear sight
and the comb of the buttstock may help prevent
marring of both the sight and the stock during
transportation and storage.
The rear sight assembly allows you to choose from
sight disks in three different aperture sizes: .050",
.060", and .070". The size of the aperture is stamped
on the back side of the sight disk as 50, 60 or 70,
respectively. These apertures allow you to adjust to
changing light conditions.
The sight disk is threaded into the elevator and when
secured, performs a lock-down function to prevent
vertical movement of the elevator.

Eight separate front sight inserts are provided with
your vernier sight on a special sheet of spring steel
(Figure 4). Carefully break each sight insert from the
sheet by holding the entire insert firmly between your
thumb and forefinger. Work the insert back and forth
gently until it cleanly breaks from the sheet. A plastic
container is provided for storage of front sight inserts
after they are separated from the sheet.
