I just picked up an FWB C62. The online manual for the C60 is vague to say the least. Does any one know the translation of the symbols for height and windage? The top turret is marked H and T. The side turret is marked P and L. I would have thought that H = high and that L = left but apparently not.
I am also looking for a source for the 16mm sight discs that fit this rifle.
Thanks in advance.

The H and T stand for Hoch and Tief or high and low or something iike that. The Germans consider the placement of the bull with respect to the shot so if the shot is low you move the bull down by turning to the Tief.

That P on the windage knob is probably and R with a little piece missing.

Make your life simple, ignore the writing, remember "counterclockwise up and right" or "clockwise down and left" and you should be fine.

'Dude

I always think of it as "screwing" the Point Of Impact onto the Point Of Aim.
i.e. if your shot goes right of bull, turn the windage knob clockwise, as if you were screwing it "into" the sight body.

Makes sense to me anyway :)

Thanks to those who answered. It seems that the awkward translation in the online manual is correct. To quote " shooting high turn toward H". This is the exact opposite of US sight adjustment nomenclature.

Or ... cut out a little sticker from a blank peel-on address label the same size as your knob & draw U or R with an arrow on it w/ a sharpie.

Works about 95% of the time
(My young kids can sometimes not even remember their left from right ... although almost all remember which way is up.)
