Hello, everyone..Last weekend, I decided to try and figure out just how to work that windgage front on the Remington sporter.  I had rifle set-up in cleaning vise, and positioned myself behind it just as if I were at match..(prone on floor).  I must say..those old-time gun makers knew what they were about!  By turning adj. screw C.W.,..as if you were threading screw into sight block to left...the sight moves to RIGHT.  and conversely, by turning C.C.W.  As if you were un-screwing it, and moving it out to left..sight moves LEFT.
  Now then..If your bullet impact is off to left..simply turn C.W. ...as if advancing screw to the left.  If impact is to the right..turn C.C.W.  As if unscrewing & advancing to right.  Very little slack in threads & easy enough to feel.. I think I can get a "feel" for how much movement is necessary without having to see the graduations with some practice.

Your post is music to my ears.  You're doing it period correct and in the spirit.

The way that I keep it straight is to remember that you can't move where the bullet hits, you must make the sight move to the bullet impact. I just mentally imagine what direction that the sight has to go (front or rear) to shoot at the last hole that was made.
