| 摘要 |
The telescopic sight alignment tool is used to align the horizontal and vertical axes of the scope with corresponding axes of the firearm upon which the scope is mounted. The tool comprises a unitary structure having a plate with a vertical crosshair alignment slit, with an ocular seat extending forward from the lower portion of the plate. Upper and lower alignment indicators extend from the plate. Alternative embodiments provide variations upon the alignment indicators. The tool is placed upon the ocular of the scope and secured adjustably thereon with an elastic band. The tool is rotated to align the slit precisely with the vertical crosshair of the scope. The scope is then rotated in its mounts until at least one of the indicators of the tool is aligned with an element of the firearm, e.g., front sight, tang of the action, etc., and the mounts tightened to secure the scope. |

1. A telescopic sight alignment tool, comprising:
a planar sighting plate having a forward face, a rear face opposite the forward face, a lateral span, an upper edge, a lower portion opposite the upper edge, and a crosshair alignment slit extending between the upper edge and the lower portion thereby defining a vertical alignment plane; an ocular seating block extending forwardly from the lower portion of the sighting plate, the seating block having an ocular seat formed therein, the ocular seat being defined by mutually opposed first and second sloping surfaces defining a V configuration, the seat subtending only a portion of the ocular of the telescopic sight when seated thereon; at least one alignment reference extending from the sighting plate, the at least one alignment reference includes an extension disposed laterally and horizontally along the lower portion of the sighting plate, the alignment reference extension thereby defining an alignment edge laterally disposed to the vertical alignment plane of the alignment slit of the sighting plate; and the sighting plate, the ocular seating block, and the alignment reference collectively being formed of a single, unitary piece of material. |
