I recently purchased a edmund scope at a yard sale i am a beginner n i have no idea where to go with this from here! the numbers on the scope are c-2058 and b-2088. it looks like it has been modified and i would like to know where i can find a manual for it if there even is one! lol thankz!! look forward to hearin from ya!

sad to tell you but we do not do parts hunting here

Hello, Brenda -

Are you asking about a specific Butterick pattern?

If so, probably one or more of the sales people at the sewing supplies store where you purchased the pattern can advise you. I suggest you take the pattern and instructions with you to the store and ask about the instructions which confuse you.

Personal opinion: You may benefit from purchasing a book written for beginner home sewers. You can see what relatively recent sewing instruction books are held by your local public library, first, and check some out. Then, you can decide which book would be good to purchase.

Or do you mean by your question you need to contact the Butterick pattern company and ask questions about a pattern you have?

If so, this is the link to the Butterick How To Reach Us web page:
https://butterick.mccall.com/how-reach-us
There is a number to call for information on "Help with making a pattern."

Best wishes.

Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the scope-- take it outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object several blocks away or further.

The best beginners forum is www.astronomyforum.net where they help beginners learn all about the astronomy hobby.

Why would you need a manual for a simple Dobsonian reflector telescope.

The Company does not exist-- anymore.

A manual only showed how to assemble the telescope, it DOES NOT tell you how to USE the telescope to find objects in the sky.

This is a good beginner telescope by the way. Here is how to get started using it:

1. During the day time align the small finder scope and the big scope on the same distant target. Then you can use the finder scope to locate and POINT the main tube to objects in the night sky.

Also during the day put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the focuser. This is your LOWEST magnification. Practice focusing on a distant object. The image will be upside down--- this is perfectly normal. Nothing is wrong with the scope.

The moon should be the first target at night.

Buy two books: Turn Left at Orion and Nightwatch.

First, adjust wind-age and elevation to center or zero position. Remove your scope from the gun and make sure that the scope mounts are aligned, this is critical. Purchase an alignment tool is necessary. Then remount the scope. The scope should seat in the mounts without binding. If it does bind, the mounts are not aligned.
Start sighting in at close range,10 to 30 yards, then move out to 100 yards.

Keep in mind Diane this is for a set distance. if you are taking a shot at a target further than your are set for (ie a target you wont get 3 shots @) remember how the bullet is travelling as it goes down range

one idea would be to set your rifle up down range and zero it in on a target (preferably paper) now adjust 1 MOA (try and have target @ 100 yards and 200 yards)

see how far the bullet moves for each moa adjustment. then check it against the next range.

this should remain constant @ a set number of inches per 100 yards.

so if you zero in @ 100 yards and then move 1 moa any direction and it adjusts (lets say and hope it is 1.047 inches") then you do the same for 200 yards. it should be twice as much movement. ie 2.094"

once you know what 1 moa represents on your scope you can adjust alot more accurately.

REMEBER the total inches of movement / adjustment per MOA is directly related to range (a precise range helps in shooting) so if your squirrel is 150 yards and your first shot is off 9" to adjust you divide 9" by the inches per moa so 1.5 (150 yards /100) X (Inches per 100 yards per moa you measured hopefully 1.047") its 9" divided by 2x1.047 = 9" / 2.094 = 4.29799

this number needs to be rounded to the nearest click on your scope (most are 1/4 MOA scopes and you can tell by looking at how many clicks/lines are inbewteen each large number on your windage and elevation dials

so to turn this into an adjustment we round 4.29799 to 4.25 which is 4.25 MOA or 17 clicks on a 1/4 min scope.

GL and any questions just post and ill help

not please rate this as fixya :)

Note i can provide EXACT information that would allow you to determine range, and windage and elevation adjustments by looking through scope and estimating range
then factoring in weather variables. NOTE you hafta enjoy math or just want to know how to shoot really well. :)

You may need to purchase a base with a built in taper to help zero your scope. Look for "20 MOA scope base" if interested in purchasing. Go Here:
