How close together can I possibly mount iron sights with them still being relatively accurate? By relatively accurate, I mean I would be ecstatic with 8-10 inch groupings at 100 yards.
I want to test out putting BUIS on a bolt action rifle and just seeing what happens. This is just for fun, I wouldn't be hunting with it or attempting to be accurate on paper or anything. I was wondering if it would be possible to mount iron sights on a standard scope rail. The distance between the sights would likely be 6-7 inches...is this feasible?
I realize that if I wanted to use iron sights I should mount the front sight further along the length of the barrel, but if it's possible (and safe) I would like to try putting both sights on the rail.
