I just installed a marble arms bulls eye on my 336. On the lowest setting I am shooting roughly 10" high at 50 yards. I am assuming that is due to the front sight not being properly paired with the new rear sight. What would be the first step to correcting this? Should I order a new front sight?

Brownells sight corrector suggests at 50 yards with a 19-20 inch barrel that you might have to get a front sight .1111 taller than your current sight.

My numbers might be wrong so wait for someone else to help.

The Marble Arms Bulls Eye is for .22's according to marblearms.com. A 336 is not a .22. That could be most of the issue. And 50 yards is too close for what I'm assuming is a .30-30.
However, you do need a higher front blade.

I'll be honest I didn't even notice it was for a .22. Mainly because I found others who had mounted it on a 336 and other like guns on other forums. But to be honest I wasn't 100% crazy about it. Nothing wrong with it, just not my taste. I will probably replace it with a skinner and wait to put it on my boys 22. I am still decided between the skinner and others.
