At the factory, how are rifles sighted in?
I'm curious about the manufacturing process,,,
This question could also apply to handguns.
I recently spoke with a gentleman who said he worked for Mossberg "way back when.",,,
He said that there was a jig that aligned the sights when they were attached,,,
And the guns were never test fired to ensure proper sight orientation.
I know I have bought a new rifle and the sights were just spot on,,,
My CZ 452 Trainer was/is almost perfect at 50 yards,,,
That's with three different brands of ammunition.
The Savage .22 I recently purchased was almost a foot off at 50 yards.
Nice tight group that I am happy with,,,
But centered about 11 inches towards the 8:00 position,,,
I still haven't gotten it adjusted to what I would call spot on at 50 yards.
I'm curious about the process,,,
And the tolerances they find acceptable.
