Got an old plinker currently running some glass which will be going on a new gun and I’d like to run it with the original irons (nice long sight radius of 19.375”). Problem is that at minimum elevation setting the thing still shoots 3-4” high at 15 yards (.22lr with 22” bbl). The front sight is your basic 3/8” dovetail but it is already tall at 9/16” overall height. Any suggestions for getting these irons zeroed? It has an old school rear v-notch similar to the Remington sight I attached.
ablut the only thing I can think is to file the rear sight down but that just seems hack to me. There must be a better way to do this.
