From whatever position you are working on, look out over the top of the reciever, through the "V", or peephole of your rear sight, and center the front blade of the front sight (optically - or how you see it) with the bull (center) of the target just above the sight picture. From a steady platform, if the rear sight, front sight, and target are lined up - if you don't flinch ( or otherwise move your rifle ), you will hit the target. This assuming that your rifle is SIGHTED IN.
For sighting in, start at 20-30 yards. Fire about 5 rounds, aiming at the center of your target. You are hoping to get a "group" where the hits form a smallish cluster. Probably, the cluster will all be off to one side, and, or, high, or low. Move the rear sight right to move the impact right, and vice-versa. Moving the rear sight up will move the impact up. Down will move the impact down. Reverse these instructions to make adjustments with the front sight. NOW, move out to 50 yds. with a new target. (paper targets) Fire your cluster, make adjustments. Get to where you hit where you aim.
For this group, move the rear sight left several clicks (depending on range - actual distance missed...) and up a few clicks.
Repeat the process of sighting in at longer ranges until your rifle is sighted in at the range you prefer to work with.
