Most of these I've been around shoot high. Mine when set on the 100 (yard/meter or what ever they use) shot 8 inches high at 100 yards. I want this for CMP Vintage Military Rifle Matches so I want it dead on at 100 @ the 100 mark, cause I'm not into favors if I don't have to.
I did some measurements and determined that base on this rifles sight radius, .0061 movement of the rear sight moves the impact 1 in (or MOA). So if I'm 8 inches high, thats .0488. I took the rear sight ladder from the sight mount off (punched out the pivot pin) put the sucker in the milling machine and cut it down .0488. This was off the bottom of the sight, the part that contacts the sight base. It still slides up for longer ranges. After I got the sight back together, you can't tell it was worked on.
Found out both my mild 150 grn loads and 180 grn WW factory loads stay in the X ring.
Wind age corrections can be made by moving the front sight left or right. If it shoots low, the front sight can be cut down .0061 per MOA.
Just though I'd throw this in for anyone who has one of these rifles that have elevation problems and wants to shoot it in compitition.
